Abstract

Triticale (xTriticosecale Wittmack) is a grain used in animal feed and is known for its high efficiency, high nutritional quality and resistance to stress factors. Triticale is an alternative plant used for the utilization of marginal areas due to these properties. This study was carried out at three different locations in Erzincan and Muş province and Pasinler districts of Erzurum province. Two candidate line and registered triticale varieties (Umranhanım) and 22 triticale lines in the advanced breeding stage were assessed comparatively in terms of efficiency yield and cold resistance parameters. According to the results of this study, Candidate-2 and Line (1, 6, 8, 11, 15, 17, and 18) genotypes were the prominent genotypes in terms of yield. In addition, low precipitation in May and June caused serious losses in yield. Because this period is the pollination period for grains in the Eastern Anatolia Region. Additional irrigation may be recommended in years when precipitation in this period is insufficient. In addition, it has been concluded that it is important to include cold test studies in breeding programs in regions where winter damage is experienced intensively as well as included in the selections.
