Triticale (×Triticosecale Wittmack) is a man-made cereal formed by crossing wheat with rye. It possesses the genomes of the genus Triticum and Secale ssp., and thus the advantageous properties of wheat grain with the features of rye, such as resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Triticale can be grown in a wide range of agro-ecologies, up to 3000 m above sea level. It requires an average of 500–600 mm rainfall, well distributed during the growing season. However, it can also perform well with as little as 350 mm of seasonal rainfall.It is adapted to a wide range of soils conditions including low fertility sands, shallow soils, acidic and sodic, very high and low Ph. Triticale has more vigorous root system than wheat, barley or oats binding light soils and extracting more nutrients from the soil and its vigorous root system makes growing this plant attractive in low fertile soils, light soils and where a crop is being to better compete with weeds. Drought and frost tolerance are the primary advantages that triticale has over the other cereal crops and thus it reduces weather risk. The adopted triticale cultivars have high grain yield potential.

Taking into account the above, the purpose of our current research work is to study the correlations between the spike yield traits (morphological characteristics such as spike length, mass, number of spikelet of spike, number of grains, mass) in the samples collected from the triticale collection kept in our institute.
