Triticale
Definition: triticale
triticale: A new cereal hybrid of wheat and rye. It combines the yield potential of wheat with the winter hardiness and resistance to drought of rye. Increasingly used in the UK, triticale replaces winter and spring feed barleys. It has a high level of disease resistance and a reduced demand for chemical fertiliser. Growing triticale can enhance crop diversity and improve resilience to environmental stresses.
