Triticale hexaploide Lart. commonly known as Triticale is a manmade cereal obtained from cross between wheat (Triticum)
and rye (Secale). It is used for food and feed purposes in view of its high nutritive value. In the present study, we focused
on enhancement in the crop production of Triticale (Triticale hexaploide Lart.) under semi arid conditions at Agra, India.
A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of Azotobacter and chemical fertilizers on seven variety of triticale
viz. R2TL3001, R1TL3005, R1TL3006, R1TL2942, R2TL3002, R1TL3003, R1TL3004 and a local variety of wheat
which was treated as check. The results of R1TL2942, R1TL3003 and R1TL3006 with Azotobacter were observed as
best yielding variety of Triticale with 56-59 grains and with 55-58 grains per spike respectively. The findings show that
R1TL2942, R1TL3003 and R1TL3006 are the potential variety of Triticale that could grow under Indian climatic conditions.
