Triticale cultivar emerges as an option for live stock and the baking industry

New triticale cultivar crop drew attention for its good productivity and shorter cycle time in the field. Researchers pointed out.

According to the source this new cultivar shortens the cycle by up to 20 days, which allows the harvest in August, and eventually avoiding the beginning of the rains that usually hinder the works in September.

In the municipality of Londrina, the rural producer Antônio Sampaio has already harvested and sold all the precocious triticale he planted on the 144 hectares, obtaining an average productivity of 71 bags per hectare.

The cereal has technical characteristics that make it more resistant to climatic effects such as the lack of rain. It also adapts better to different types of soil, resulting in even greater productivity than wheat.

Looking at the market, the culture finds space with a feed mixture for poultry and pork rations, hay and pasture, but there is a great space for growth in the human consumption sector such as biscuits, cookies, pizza and kibbeh.
