Determination of Yield, Quality and Winter Hardiness Characteristics of Some Triticale (xTriticosecale Wittmack) Genotypes in Pasinler and Erzincan Locations

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 two different locations in Erzincan Merkez and Pasinler districts of Erzurum province. Two registered triticale varieties (Umranhanım and Tatlıcak 97) and 13 triticale lines in the advanced breeding stage were assessed comparatively in terms of efficiency, quality and cold resistance parameters. As a result of this study, genotypes 9, 10 and 12 were found suitable for the conditions of the region and considered to have a profitable production potential for producers. The Umranhanım cultivar is prominent in terms of its resistance to cold and its yield. 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
