Abstract: The data on morphological, seed and quality characters was collected to evaluate the performance of ninety two genotypes of oat under single cut and multi-cut systems. In single cut oat the green fodder yield were considered, while in multi-cut system, 1st cut with eleven and 2nd cut with twenty traits were evaluated. The magnitude of genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) in 1st cut found high for green fodder yield per meter row length (Kg) and dry matter yield per meter row length (Kg) and in 2nd cut for flag leaf length (cm), inter-node length (cm), peduncle length (cm), axis length(cm), leaf width (cm), green fodder yield per meter row length (Kg) and dry matter yield per meter row length (Kg). High heritability coupled with high expected genetic advance as percent of mean was high for the traits including plant height (cm), green fodder yield (Kg) and dry matter yield (Kg) in1st cut while the traits, like flag leaf length (cm), inter-node length (cm), peduncle length (cm), axis length (cm), seed index (cm), leaf length (cm), green fodder yield (Kg), dry matter yield (Kg) and crude protein (%) in 2nd cut.
