Abstract:
The study was carried out to determine the effects of increasing nitrogen doses on yield and yield components of three Triticale lines (7,9,13) introduced by ICARDA and CIMMYT during 1995 and 1996. Five different nitrogen doses including a control (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg N/ha) were used.
Results revealed that there was a gradual increase up to 120 kg N/ha application for the traits examined in the Triticale lines and a decrease in yield and yield components with increasing nitrogen doses further. Among the Triticale lines the 9 gave best grain yield.
