Deсяtinne winter triticale is a cereal crop that combines the best qualities of wheat and rye, with high potential for significant forage and grain productivity. This crop is distinguished by its resistance to adverse weather conditions, such as drought and frost, and its ability to grow on various soil types and in diverse climatic conditions. Thanks to these properties, Deсяtinne winter triticale is a promising choice for agricultural production, ensuring stable yields even under variable weather conditions.
Studies conducted in 2021–2022 showed that optimal hydrothermal conditions, including moderate temperatures and adequate rainfall, significantly affect triticale yield. In particular, in the more favorable year of 2021, dry matter harvest from different triticale varieties was 45.1% higher compared to 2022. The Deсяtinne variety is medium-maturing and stands out among donors for traits aimed at increasing forage productivity, confirming its value for breeding work and further improvement of varieties.
The grain of Deсяtinne triticale is characterized by high caloric content and contains significant amounts of protein and essential amino acids, making it a valuable animal feed and a promising product for the food industry. Moreover, triticale is widely used in the production of starch, malt for brewing, and biofuel, which broadens its application potential and enhances the economic attractiveness of cultivating this crop.
