Abstract
A study was conducted in 1985 to determine the impact of acid rain on the productivity of Avena sativa L. cv. Ogle. Oat plants were grown under standard field practices and received 0.32 cm simulated rain treatments at pH 3.0, 3.6, 4.2 or 4.8 three times a week for 10.5 weeks. In a “no rain” treatment, plants received an equivalent volume of water at the soil surface. Each treatment was replicated eight times. Plants were harvested and allowed to dry when oat kernels reached the soft dough stage. There were no significant effects of acidity of rain on vegetative yield/ha, number of tillers/ha, seeds/ha, seed weight/ha, number of seed/head, bushels/ha or harvest index.
