Model of a Spring Triticale Cultivar Adapted to Conditions in the Far East

Abstract

The optimum model of a spring triticale cultivar adapted for the soil and climatic conditions of the Far East has been developed. A comparative study of the basic structural components of productivity, the most important economically valuable traits, and grain quality has been carried out using collection and standard cultivars of this crop as well as the standard cultivars of spring triticale (cv. Ukro) and spring soft wheat (cv. Khabarovchanka). Based on climatic characteristics of the region, a model of a promising spring triticale cultivar for grain-fodder purposes has been developed. The genotype of this cultivar should provide high productivity, large grain size, resistance to lodging and fungal diseases, and ecological adaptability to a range of agrometeorological conditions of the growing season. The involvement of selected sources and donors into a breeding process will make it possible to effectively create a new hybrid and breeding material of spring triticale with potentially high productivity suitable for the agroecological conditions of the region.
