For the first time in the Rostov region, spring triticale varieties capable of competing with spring cereals and combining high performance with other valuable characteristics were created in the Don Zonal Research Institute of Agriculture. Variety ‘Khaikar’ is characterized by high heat and drought resistance; it is resistant to the most harmful pathogens. Its grain can be used in confectionery, mixed fodder, bakery and pasta industries. The potential performance of this variety is over 4 t/ha. The high content of carotenoids in grain (529-584 μg/%) is a distinctive of this variety. Variety ‘Saur’ is characterized by earliness, high protein content in grain (13.7-16.7%) and sufficiently high baking properties. In addition to high performance, this variety is noticeable for heat and drought resistance; it is not damaged by powdery mildew, rusts, head blight and dwarfism virus.
