Tridge summary
(Jeju=Yonhap News) By Ko Seong-sik = 'Triticale', a hybrid of rye and wheat, is drawing attention as an alternative income source for domestically dependent feed crops.
The Jeju Agricultural Technology Institute announced on the 23rd that it harvested 340-360 kg per 10α of land after conducting a trial cultivation of triticale in farmland located in Donggwang-ri, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo City since last November.
At the field evaluation meeting held on the 18th, it was confirmed that triticale has a good seed production rate and can secure indigenous seeds if harvested before June 10th.
It was also evaluated to have good growth conditions with tall height and strong stems.
Triticale, a hybrid of rye and wheat, has high protein and digestible nutrient content compared to existing feed crops, making it valuable as a feed crop.
Domestic feed crop cultivation area reaches 90,000 hectares, but the seed self-sufficiency rate is only 8%, heavily relying on imported seeds.
The Jeju Agricultural Technology Institute plans to expand demonstration tests for seed breeding and feed use from 2026 based on these verification results and meeting opinions.
