Primary Uses: • Fall/Winter grazing • Silage • Hay

Key Attributes: • Awnletted (very short beards) • Semi-erect fall growth habit • Very good fall seedling vigor • Good winterhardiness • Medium maturity • Good straw strength • Tolerant of rust • Tolerant of wheat streak mosaic virus • High silage yields • Adapted to the Southern and Central Great Plains

Agronomics: For grazing, plant triticale as you would wheat. For silage-only, plant triticale later in the fall similarly to a wheat planting date for grain-only production. Utilize the same cultural practices for triticale as are used with wheat. Triticale can be planted with the same equipment, fertilized the same and planted at the equivalent seeding rates. Like wheat, triticale responds very well to seed treatments. Triticale can generally be stocked heavier tha
