Bumper spring triticale

Yield and chemical composition of spring triticale grain depending on cropping and tillage systems

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the yield and chemical composition of triticalegrain in different crop rotation and tillage systems. The first experimental factor was thecropping system – a) crop rotation and b) monoculture and the second factor was the tillagesystem – 1) conventional (CT), 2) reduced (RT) and 3) no-tillage (NT). The spring triticale yieldwas found to be 15.4% high...

The Effect of Seed Sprouting Damage on Field Emergence and Yield of Spring Triticale*

In the years 1999-2001 two-factor fi eld experiments were carried out in which the effects of spring triticale seed sprouting damage on fi eld emergence, elements of the structure of yield and the yield were investigated. The research covered three cultivars: Gabo, Migo and Wanad. The statistical analysis of the results showed signifi cant effects of years and sprouting damage on fi eld emergen...

Modeling responses of dryland spring triticale, proso millet and foxtail millet to initial soil water in the High Plains

Dryland farming strategies in the High Plains must make efficient use of limited and variable precipitation and stored water in the soil profile for stable and sustainable farm productivity. Current research efforts focus on replacing summer fallow in the region with more profitable and environmentally sustainable spring and summer crops. In the absence of reliable precipitation forecasts for t...

Registration of ‘NE422T’ Winter Triticale

Leaf dehydration induces different content of phenolics and ferulic acid in drought-resistant and -sensitive genotypes of spring triticale.

Analyses of the total pool of phenolic compounds and ferulic acid, as a photoprotector of the photosynthetic apparatus, and the activity of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), as a key enzyme in phenolics synthesis, were carried out. Measurements were performed on drought-resistant (CHD 12, CHD 147) and -sensitive (CHD 220, CHD 247) genotypes of spring triticale during flowering under increasi...
