Rezumat: Oat breeding program in Bulgaria is mainly carried out at the Institute of Agriculture and Seed Science “Obraztsov Chiflik”- Ruse. The program is focused on improving agronomically important traits in oat: yield potential, grain quality, tolerance to environmental and biotic stress and disease resistance, as well as milling, feed and hay end-use quality in both naked and hulled oat varieties. The aims of the breeding are the development of spring and winter oat varieties suitable for the environmental conditions of Bulgaria for growers, food processors and animal production systems.In view of the importance of oat germplasm for the success of the breeding the Institute has a large breeding collection included local varieties and populations, foreign varieties from the various public and private breeding programs, advanced test lines. Oat varieties development is carrying out through hybridization, advancing early generations in bulked and pedigree nurseries, followed by performance testing of selected lines. Thus, there is a need for the breeding of lines and varieties suitable for growing in many different environments throughout the country, climatic conditions in Obraztcov Chiflik are extreme with cold temperatures during the winter months and drought during the summer. The Institute of Agriculture and Seed Science “Obraztcov Chiflik” - Ruse develops and releases improved common and naked spring and winter oat varieties for the farmers and the food industry.
