In the first days, the main stem grows very slowly (1-2 mm per day), and the roots grow quickly. Seedlings in the field appear on the eighth - tenth day. With the formation of the third - fourth leaf, the tillering phase begins (on the seventh - ninth day after germination), during which additional roots, lateral shoots (tillering shoots) and 2-3 productive stems are formed. In this phase, embryonic panicles are laid on the main and lateral shoots. Vigorous growth of the stem and panicle is observed after the phase of entering the tube, the largest accumulation of dry matter - during the period of entering the tube before the phase of ejection. Oats bloom from the top of the panicle to the base and from the ends of the first-order branches to the main axis of the panicle. It lasts 6-8, sometimes 9-10 days.
