Introduction and selection of triticale varieties in Heilonggang region

Two years of field experiment were carried out to study the 12 introduced forage triticale (Triticum secale) varieties in Heilonggang region, the forage yield, grain yield, natural height, the ratio of stem / leaf, the ratio of fresh / dry, lodging resistance and seed setting were investigated and analyzed. The results showed that NTH1048 and NTH1877 had more aboveground biomass but lower grain yield, therefore, they were suitable for cultivation as forage triticale; NTH2597 and NTH2179 had more dry yield and grain yield, so they were suitable for drying hay and cultivation as grainforage triticale, and the goal of anniversary production could be achieved through use of winter fallow land.
