THE TRENDS AND RESULTS OF SPRING TRITIKALI SELECTION UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF MID. DON REGION
The results of studies devoted to spring triticale selection over the period of 2006 are submitted in the article, The methods of obtaining primary material are described. The inheriting of certain valuable characters has been studied. Specific features of transgressive mutability of morpho-types and their stabilization have been determined. In 2014 two new varieties of triticale - Khaikar and Saur, created on the basis of chemical mutagenesis, were turned over to the state laboratory of strain testing. The agro-biological description of the new spring triticale varieties is suggested in the article. These wheat types are characterized as being highly productive and resistant to heat and drought, they are not infected by loose or stinking smut, yellow and stem rust, by leaves bacteriosis, virus spot disease of leaves as well as by septoria of leaves and ear blight. The grain of the above wheat varieties is rich in carotenoids content.
