Martinek, P. (Zemedelsky Vyzkumny Ustav, Kromeriz (Czech Republic) | Ohnoutkova, L. | Vyhnanek, T. | Bednar, J.
Twelve genotypes of hexaploid tritordeum were sown in spring together with check varieties of spring wheats (T. aestivum) Sandra and Saxana at the Agricultural Research Institute Kromeriz (Czech Republic) in years 1999, 2000 and 2001. Tritordeum sown in spring matured extremely late. It was not damaged by frost due to mild winter and duration of the growing season was comparable with check varieties of winter wheat. Tritordeum sown in autumn produced higher yields than that sown in spring. Tritordeum sown in spring had higher resistance to leaf rust and powdery mildew of wheat, high protein content, higher content of of cystine amino acid in protein. Incidence of ergot (Claviceps purpurea) was found in some lines. The bread making characteristics of hexaploid tritordeums were inferior to those of bread wheat. Potential use of tritordeum under conditions of Central Europe is discussed. Wider use of winter forms of tritordeum, if they were developed, is assumed.
