Triticale Breeding at Svaloef
1991
Karlsson, K.E. (Savalof AB, Svalov (Sweden))
Triticale is just being introduced in practical farming in Sweden. The first triticale varieties were approved in 1988. They were Polish varieties Dagro and Bolero. In years when winter has not been too harsh, triticale has produced higher grain yields than winter wheat. This superiority has been more pronounced in somewhat poorer soils than in good soils. The triticale breeding program at Svaloef is concentrated focusing on developing winter types for use as fodder. Important breeding goals besides high grain yield are first of all winter hardiness, but also straw strength, early ripening, high protein and lysine content, and resistance to sprouting and diseases. In general triticale is a rather healthy crop, but can be attacked by Septoria, leaf rust, stripe rust and Fusarium. Lines improved for some of the characters mentioned above are included in official variety trials
