Segregating lines of triticale (x Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus) produced by hybridization at the Atomic Energy Agricultural Research Centre, Tandojam, Pakistan, were screened in yield trials in the 1985-87 seasons. Advanced line NIAB-T-598 gave highest grain yield (4500 kg/ha) in the first year, significantly higher than the wheats (Triticum spp.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L. ssp. vulgare) cultivars included in the trial. In the second season, this line again out-yielded the bread wheat controls and also gave the highest 1000-kernel weight. NIAB-T-598 also showed increased kernel hardness over earlier triticale lines, to an acceptable level
