Evaluation of Yield and Some Agro-Morphological Characters of Triticale Genotypes in Trakya Region

Abstract

Triticale under both normal and drought stress conditions were superior and also combines high plant productivity and grain yield. This research was carried out to determine the yield and agronomic performance of some triticale genotypes in Trakya region. This research was established with 16 genotypes in completely randomized blocks experimental design with 4 replications in Edirne in 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 growing seasons. In this research project grain yield, plant height, days to heading, lodging resistance, winter kill, 1000-kernel weight, test weight, protein ratio and hardness and relationships among characters were investigated. According to the results it significant differences were found among genotypes in terms of grain yield and other investigated characters. Mean yield of the genotypes was 630.7 kg/da. Entry 11 had higher gran yield with 737.8 kg/da and followed by entry 15 and entry 16. Correlation coefficients among the investigated characters showed that there were various relations among investigated parameters. Grain yield was positively correlated with 1000-kernel weight, test weight, and hardness and negatively correlated with protein ratio. Biomass at Z35 positively affected grain yield. Protein ratio was positively correlated with days to heading and plant height and negatively correlated with 1000-kernel weight and test weight. Canopy temperature was measured at Z55 and Z75 plant growth stages and there was negative relation with days to heading, plant height and protein ratio and positive relation with test weight at Z55. Biomass at Z35 growth stage had positive effect on grain yield, plant height, and protein ratio. Chlorophyll content had significantly effect on test weight. Biomass at Z25 and Z35 growth stage had positive effect on protein ratio and hardness.
