Triticale wins agricultural climate risk zoning in Brazil

Brazil has added triticale, a cereal produced by crossing wheat and rye, to its Agricultural Zoning of Climate Risk (ZARC) database, with plans to expand its cultivation. Triticale is known for its drought tolerance, high protein value, and suitability for both rainfed and irrigated systems, making it an ideal alternative for animal feed. Despite challenges such as disease and low productivity, which led to a decrease in cultivation, Embrapa is evaluating winter cereal cultivars, including triticale, to expand its network of experiments. Triticale is already cultivated in southern Brazil and is being considered for expansion to other states. It is used as a partial replacement for corn in animal feed, contributing to the balance of amino acids, energy, proteins, and fibers in animal diets.

Triticale has just been added to the Agricultural Zoning of Climate Risk (ZARC) database, with an indication for cultivation in the South, Southeast, Midwest and Northeast regions of Brazil, under rainfed and irrigated systems. The zoning will guide the expansion of triticale cultivation in the country aimed at opportunities in the growth of demand for the use of this cereal in animal feed. Triticale is a direct product of research, generated by crossing wheat and rye. In this cross, triticale inherited favorable characteristics from the parental species, such as grain and biomass yield potential, disease resistance, good development at low temperatures, drought tolerance, deep root system and high protein value grains. The culture contributes to the agricultural system, mainly in direct sowing in straw, providing good vegetation cover even in areas with low fertility and in sandy soils. Triticale also has good tolerance to water stress, acidic soils and allows lower production ...
