Triticale Kapriz

Winter triticale variety Capriz is a highly productive hexaploid grain triticale variety developed for stable growth and high yield under various climatic conditions. The plant is of medium height (94–110 cm) with an intermediate bush form and high productive bushiness. The ear is prismatic, of medium size and density, with a characteristic waxy coating on the glume. The grain is semi-elongated, light red in color, of medium size, with a 1000-seed weight ranging from 41 to 53 grams. The vegetative period is medium-late and ranges from 265 to 320 days. The Capriz variety is distinguished by its high frost resistance and adaptability to low temperatures down to -10°C during the formation of generative organs. It also exhibits heat and drought resistance, as well as resistance to root rots and rust, ensuring reliable cultivation in various regions. The potential yield of the Capriz variety exceeds 110 centners per hectare, while the average yield in some regions reaches 33.6 centners per hectare, which is higher than standard indicators. The sowing dates for the variety are optimal for its cultivation zones, which helps maximize its productive potential. The grain quality of the Capriz variety allows it to be used both in bread-making production and for compound feed, making it versatile and in demand in agriculture. The variety is recommended for cultivation in the Lower Volga and North Caucasus regions, and is also suitable for spatial isolation from rye, which reduces the risk of crop mixing and improves product quality.
