Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during 2014 and 2015 using seven released triticale varieties in Wag-Lasta marginal high lands. Triticale (Triticosecale) is a hybrid of wheat (Triticum) and rye (S...
Highlights
Triticale (× Triticosecale, Wittmack), the first successful human-made hybrid cereal grain, was deliberately produced by crossing wheat (Triticum) as female and rye (Secale) as a pollen source
Data on grain yield was taken based on moisture measurement for cereal that was 12.5 moisture content and after adjusting the grain by moisture meter adjusted yield was weighted after it was taken from net plot
The result of this study clearly indicates that except phenological parameters both vegetative and growth parameters was significant among varieties of triticlae at the three locations
Summary
Triticale (× Triticosecale, Wittmack), the first successful human-made hybrid cereal grain, was deliberately produced by crossing wheat (Triticum) as female and rye (Secale) as a pollen source. Triticale combines yield potential and grain quality of wheat with the disease and environmental tolerance including adaptability to difficult soils, drought tolerance, cold hardiness, disease resistance and low-input requirements of rye (Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 2004). Triticale has demonstrated high yield potential even under marginal growing conditions and could a very attractive alternative for raising cereal production globally (FAO, 2004). Triticale has high and quality straw production and regrowth capacity after grazing The objective of this trial was to identify adaptable and high yielding triticale varieties for marginal highlands of WagLasta and similar agro-ecologies of the region
