Investigation of yield and quality traits of some advanced triticale lines in Bursa ecological conditions

This research was carried out at an experimental field at the Field Crops Department of the Faculty of Agriculture at Bursa Uludag University with a randomized complete block design with three replications was used during the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 growing seasons in order to investigate yield and quality traits of some advanced triticale lines in Bursa ecological conditions. In this study,17 advanced triticale lines and 3 varieties (Eronga, Nörtingen ve Karma-2000) were used as plant material. In the experiment yield characteristics on plant material; plant height, spike lenght, number of spikelets/spike, number of grains/spike and grain weight/spike, and grain yield and quality characteristics as 1000 grain weight, hectoliter weight and protein ratio characteristics were investigated. According to the two-year average results obtained from the trial, means ranged from 116,90 – 128,55 cm for plant height, 9,60 - 12,96 cm for spike length, 23,45 - 28,50 number of spikelets per spike, 31,40 - 48,33 number of seeds per spike, 1,54 - 2,33 g for seed weight per spike, 36,25 - 49,35 g for thousand grain weight, 71,50 - 76,86 kg for hectoliter weight, 437,71 - 642,95 kg/ da for grain yield, % 12,51 - 14,11 for protein content. According to the result of the correlation analysis, statistically and positively significant relation were determined between grain yield and number of spikelets per spike (r = 0,308**),1000 grain weight (r = 0,330 **), hectoliter weight (r = 0,244 **) and significant and negative relationships with protein ratio (r = -0,519 **).
