Triticale breeding at the Krasnodar Research institute of Agriculture named after P.P. Lukyanenko is aimed at increasing the productivity of grain and green mass, resistance to major diseases, winter hardiness and drought resistance, lodging resistance, at improving physical and technological qualities of grain, and at developing early-ripening forms and varieties of alternate varieties. Crosses are targeted at generation of distant wheat-rye and triticale-wheat hybrids, crossing of the first generation (F1) of distant hybrids with triticale and wheat, inter-hybrid crossing, hybridization between winter and spring triticale. Over the period of 1975 - 2016, 2,279 collection accessions were studied, of which the most effective sources of basic features were selected. Our breeding design allowed us to create 36 triticale varieties. New variety ‘Tikhon’ was created in 2017 and submitted to variety trials.
