Evaluation of some Triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) cultivars and lines under Duzce ecological conditions

This study was carried out with five triticale cultivars (Özer, Truva, Karma-2000, Alperbey and Tatlıcak-97) and 10 advanced triticale lines to determine the grain yield and yield components during 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 growing seasons under Duzce ecological conditions. In this study, the parameters of the genotypes such as spike length, number of spikelets per spike, number of grains per spike, grain weight per spike, thousand kernel weight, and grain yield were investigated. According to the two year results, whereas spike length, number of spikelets per spike, and number of grains per spike of genotypes changed 10.6-15.3 cm, 24.5-39.7, and 48.8-87.8, respectively, the grain related parameters such as grain weight per spike, thousand kernel weight, and grain yield were 2.518-4.261 g, 34.3-46.8 g, 720.2-1093.4 kg da-1, respectively. The highest yielding genotypes were found to be T-5, T-8, T-9 and Özer.
