Abstract:
The research was conducted with three triticale cultivars planted in randomized
block design in three replications in 2002-2003 growing season under Central
Anatolian conditions of Turkey. It was studied to estimate the grain number
per spike, percentage of seed set and thousand-grain weight in spontaneous cross-pollinated,
self-pollinated and untreated spike. It was determined that the seed set of
spontaneous cross-pollinated, self pollinated and untreated spike varied from
57.6-64.33%, 65.36-81.80% and 84.23-88.10%, respectively. The highest thousand-grain
weight amongst triticale genotypes used in the trial was found in untreated
spikes (mean; 40.15 g).
