Abstract
Intra-varietal selection for grain yield was carried out in five triticale (X TrUicosecale Wittmack) cultivars, maintained by the “off type” plant elimination method. Totally eight selections identified, purified and multiplied by the “ear-to-row” method, were evaluated for yield, together with their original cultivars, in five locations for three years. The analysis of variance revealed that only one of the selected lines was better in yield performance than its original cultivar. In all examined cases no significant effect in qualitative traits was recorded. Thus, the results of the present study could suggest that intra-varietal selection for grain yield in advanced generations in triticale was not found effective in yield improvement Visual inspection and selection of plants differing in some morphological traits was found to be no sufficient to provide yield increase in triticale.
