Abstract


Ustymivska Experimental Station of Plant Production has been studying genetic resources of triticale for over 40 years. The triticale collection includes 765 accessions: 489 of them are winter ones, and 276 accessions are spring triticale. Triticale breeding and seed production are conducted. Basing on selected from the collection sources and donors of breeding-valuable traits, the staff of the station created winter triticale varieties ‘Prad’, ‘Ampir’, ‘Ustymivske-3’, ‘Ustymivs'ke-4’, ‘Ustymivske-5’, and in collaboration winter triticale variety ‘Nosivske’ and spring variety ‘Boryviter Kharkivskyi’. Discussing peculiarities of cultivation technology, we should note that for this zone soybean is the optimal predecessor. To reduce the negative effect of spring drought at the initial stages of organogenesis, spring triticale variety ‘Korovai Kharkivskyi’ is pre-winter planted.
