Triticale Amphidiploid 1 is a winter variety created based on a hybrid of rye and wheat, making it a unique botanical species combining the best qualities of both crops. This variety was developed at the Ukrainian Institute of Plant Breeding and Genetics named after V.Ya. Yuryev and registered in 1976. It is characterized by high yield and is intended for use in agriculture as a cereal crop, as well as for producing bread flour, starch, malt, and compound feed.
Amphidiploid 1 has enhanced cold resistance and resistance to fungal and viral diseases, significantly reducing the risk of crop loss. Additionally, the variety is characterized by low soil fertility requirements, enabling its cultivation under various soil-climatic conditions. The protein content in triticale grain is 1-2% higher than in wheat, enhancing its nutritional value. However, bread made from triticale flour is inferior to wheat bread in volume but superior in nutritional content.
This triticale variety is widely used in food industry and animal husbandry due to its high technological and feeding qualities. It is a promising crop for farmers seeking to obtain a stable and high-quality grain harvest with broad application possibilities.
