and average yield level by region in 2012.
5.3 Average oat quality by variety in 2012
Oat samples of 26 different varieties were received for the quality monitoring of the
2012 grain harvest (the shares of the different varieties in figure 20). At the same time,
there were 37 oat varieties on the official list of plant varieties. The information on the
average quality for the most common varieties in 2012 is presented in table 11.
Many varieties had high hectolitre weights in 2012. The varieties Akseli, Belinda, Ivory,
Marika, Ringsaker, Steinar, SW Ingeborg, Venla and Viviana all had a minimum
hectolitre weight of 52 kg (figure 19). For the varieties Eemeli, Fiia and Peppi the
corresponding figure was over 90 per cent.
The hectolitre weights of milling quality oats (≥58 kg) were higher in these varieties
than in previous years. Figure 19 presents the shares of oat samples fulfilling the
requirements for hectolitre weight for feed oats and milling quality oats and the yield
levels by variety.
