The prospects of growing winter triticale in the Perm region

Abstract

A brief historical note on the creation of a new culture - winter triticale is given. The prospects of the cultivation and use of winter triticale in the Perm region are described. During 2006-2016 the technology of cultivation of winter triticale for fodder and grain in single-species and mixed agrophytocenosis, for the preparation of silage and grain haylage was developed. It has been established that winter triticale is a perspective crop that can be successfully cultivated in the Perm region and can be used for green fodder, silage and grain dumping for harvesting, forming a high yield of both green mass - up to 24,5 tons/ha-1 and dry weight - 5,96 tons/ha-1, grain - 5.46 tons/ha-1. Silage making from fresh-cut green mass of winter crops at the beginning of the earing, grain load in the milky-wax ripeness produce the forage of the I-II class with the content of crude protein - 9,23-18,01%, the exchange energy - 8,73-10,94 MJ/kg, feed units - 0,63-0,97 per absolutely dry matter.
