Materials used in this chapter were published in the book Biopesticide Albit
for increasing yields and protection of agricultures against diseases, A.K. Zlotnikov,

The stable positive influence of Albit not only on eared (wheat, barley, rye) but also on panicled (millet, rice) cereals makes it possible to assume, that application of Albit on oat will be also successful. This assumption was confirmed both in field trials and in agricultural practice of many farms of Kirov and Nizhniy Novgorod oblasts.
Practical trials on treatment of oat fields with Albit were carried out in 2004 by Krasnyy Rog collective farm of Bryansk oblast. The results of trials are presented in table:
| Nr. of field | Variant of trial | Area, hectares | Yield, centners/hectare | Yield increase, centners/hectare |
| VI-I/100 | control | 50 | 30.9 | |
| Albit, 30 ml/hectare | 50 | 38 | 7.1 | |
| I-III/80 | control | 30 | 22.9 | |
| Albit, 30 ml/hectare | 50 | 27.7 | 4.8 |
In trials, Albit increased yield of oat averagely by 6.0 centners/hectare (22.2% over control). Thus, effectiveness of foliar sprayings of oat with Albit was demonstrated. Obviously, the most effective treatment of oat can be performed according to general application recommendations for cereals: presowing seed treatment (30-40 ml/tonne) + 1-2 foliar sprayings in early stages of development (30-40 ml/hectare). Cost of each treatment is 66-88 roubles (2.64-3.52 USD). Also, general recommendations on joint use of Albit and chemical pesticides are applicable to oat.
