PROJECT TITLE: Evaluation of experimental winter triticale lines for adaptation in Montana. PROJECT LEADER: D.M. Wichman, Agronomist, Moccasin, MT PROJECT PERSONNEL: M.F. Kolding, Plant Breeder, Pendleton, OR P.F. Hensleigh, Barley Research Associate, Bozeman, MT G. L. Sharp, Research Associate, Moccasin, MT J. Vavrovsky, Agricultural Research Specialist, Moccasin, MT OBJECTIVES: To observe winter triticale lines to determine if any perform well in Central Montana. RESULTS: Winter Survival – Triticale plots were seeded on a west-facing slope to obtain maximum exposure to winter temperatures and wind. Plant densities and percent stand indicate no significant differences among the triticale lines in their ability to survive winter. Triticale lines did not differ significantly from Tiber winter wheat in winter hardiness or in grain yield. Grain yields averaged 2520 lbs/a and test weights were above average at 53.6 lbs/bu (Table 66). Similar results were obtained in the Statewide Triticale Nursery (Tables 63 and 64) planted in a more protected area on the research center. Hensleigh Triticale – Experimental lines obtained from Pat Hensleigh were compared to Tiber winter wheat and triticale lines from Matt Kolding’s breeding program in Oregon. Some of the Hensleigh lines had a satisfactory test weight but as a group tended to have test weights lower than the Kolding lines. Hensleigh lines headed 6-9 days later than Tiber winter wheat but had similar yields (Table 67). 1998 Single Row – Grain yields averaged 2498 lbs/a and test weights averaged 53.5 lbs/bu (Table 68). Heading dates were equal to that of Tiber winter wheat planted in adjacent trials. 1999 Single Row #1 – Grain yields averaged 2628 lbs/a and test weights averaged 52.2 lbs/bu. Heading dates were generally 3 days later than Tiber winter wheat planted in adjacent trials (Table 69). 1999 Single Row #2 – Line rows from the 1999 single row nursery were planted for observation purposes. Heading dates were 3 to 10 days later than Tiber winter wheat. No visually superior lines were noted and grain was not harvested (Table 70). Kolding 1996 Selections – Heading dates ranged from 165 to 173 days. Visually superior lines were not identified in this nursery and grain was not harvested (Table 71). Kolding 1998 Selections – Heading dates ranged from 159 to 170 days. Visually superior lines were not identified in this nursery and grain was not harvested (Table 72). Kolding 100 Single Plot – Superior lines for this nursery were harvested and will be planted in a Preliminary Triticale Nursery in 2002. Yields of selected lines ranged from 1413 to 4426 lbs/a in a non- replicated trial (Table 73). Heading dates ranged from 167 to 178 days. Several cereal forage lines as well as grain lines were identified for inclusion in subsequent trials. SUMMARY: Triticale lines tested had a wide range of heading dates and test weight values. Early maturing lines with acceptable test weights and yields comparable to Tiber winter wheat can be selected for and continued in subsequent yield trials. FUTURE PLANS: We will continue to observe winter triticale lines at the Central Agricultural Research Center. C78 Table 66. Exp.
