  Agriculture: Crops: Cereals: Triticale   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A wheat-rye cross, triticale was initially developed to combine the positive traits of both parent types; the vigor and winter hardiness as well as the higher protein content of rye combined with the higher quality gluten and baking properties of wheat.
Triticale may be either spring or winter in growth habit depending on the parents used in the cross.
Triticale, like its rye parent, is well adapted to the poor soil areas of the world, and has been viewed as a crop to be grown in areas unsuited for wheat.

Triticale is a hardy and new winter cereal crop created in a laboratory environment by crossing wheat with rye.
By creating new triticale varieties from parent cereal plants, we hope to be able to widen the diversity of the triticale pool and benefit from the improvements in the two species.” Plant breeders are also trying hard to continue improving the resistance to lodging and to sprouting of the existing material.
Triticale, however, had a number of disadvantages, including limited grain yield, tall plants susceptible to lodging, difficulty in threshing, a susceptibility for grain sprouting, late maturity, etc. These drawbacks were too significant so that farmers showed no interest in the new plant.
