where this is mentioned in the description.
In breeding programs and state variety trials, oat plant height is measured during active growth phases, from emergence to panicle emergence, and expressed in centimeters. Typical values for varieties in the Central region of the Russian Federation range from 80–90 cm.
This trait is closely correlated with productivity and lodging resistance, which is critical when selecting intensive cultivation technologies. Tall varieties are most susceptible to lodging, while a reduction in height due to moisture deficit or edaphic stress serves as a reliable indicator of decreased yield potential.
