All ratings are general. Different pathotypes, races, and biotypes of diseases and insects can cause ratings to change.
All ratings are based on Warner field screenings and university screenings.
HR = High Resistance, HT = Highly Tolerant, T = Tolerant, MT = Moderately Tolerant, S = Susceptible, 1 = Poor, 10 = Excellent
Management Notes:
TRIT I is a high-yielding, multi-purpose, forage triticale blend. It is designed for use in a wide variety of production systems.
A smooth seedbed is needed for uniform planting. Seeding rate for maximum production is 90-100 lbs irrigated, and 40-50 lbs
dryland at a one inch depth. Grain drill should be set at a 10-20% greater rate than for wheat due to increased seed size and
decreased weight. Fertilizers with increased P & K are needed for Fall application at the rate of 20 to 30 lbs. above the rate
for wheat. At least 100 units of N are needed with 1/3 applied in the Fall and remaining 2/3’s applied in the Spring. |
