Triticale Amphidiploid 15

Engineering approach to selection: the «Amphidiploid 15» structure

Winter triticale «Amphidiploid 15», created by experts at the V. Ya. Yuriev Plant Production Institute of NAAS, is the result of successful intergeneric hybridization of wheat and rye. The core of this variety is the ambition to combine the productivity of a wheat ear with the adaptive potential of rye, which is critical for the climatic conditions of Ukraine.

Morphological stability and phytosanitary control

At a height of 110–120 cm, the plant demonstrates optimal biomass distribution. The stem height is balanced to ensure high yields without the risk of lodging under intensive farming conditions. Technically, the variety is designed to minimize harvest losses.

• Phyto-immunity: The variety's genetic architecture includes effective defense mechanisms against key leaf pathogens. Studies confirm high resistance to wheat leaf rust, septoria, and powdery mildew. This reduces the number of fungicide treatments and, consequently, the cost of commercial grain.
• Winter hardiness: The adaptation mechanisms developed by the institute’s breeders allow the crop to stably withstand the winter temperature fluctuations typical for the region.

The practical application of the variety is focused on intensive farming, where a maximum yield of high-quality forage or technical grain is required with controlled crop protection costs.
