Research results on study of the influence of different methods of cultivation on performance of oat on soddy-podzolic soils under the conditions of the Eastern Carpathian Foothills of Ukraine are given. Plowing to a depth of 20-22 cm and 14-16 cm has been established to form the highest yield of oat grains at the level of 3.5-3.45 t/ha, which is 0.2-0.15 t/ha more than surface tillage. Maximum protein content has appeared to be when plowing the soil to 20-22 cm - 9.7%. Herewith, natural weight of oat grains decreased by 1.9%, and hull content increased by 3.6 relative percent compared to disk plowing.
