Italian scientists have called for increased yield of tritordeum, a new cereal species, to be developed to enhance its global production. A study by University of Padua and University of Parma scientists, published on the MDPI portal, compared two tritordeum varieties with durum wheat. The research, conducted at the Stuard Demonstration Farm in Parma, assessed root development, grain yield, protein composition, and mineral and polyphenol content under traditional and organic farming systems. However, the tritordeum varieties did not perform as well as the durum wheat in the study. Despite the lower yields, tritordeum is valued for its nutritional benefits and suitability for healthier food products.

Italian scientists urge breeders to work on increasing the yield of tritordeum to accelerate its introduction into global production A group of scientists from the University of Padua, University of Parma, in collaboration with colleagues from the Stuard Demonstration Farm, conducted a comparative analysis of tritordeum varieties with durum wheat to determine the benefits of an interspecific hybrid. In an article published on the MDPI portal, the researchers explain why they are interested. “The continued decline in the genetic variability of major crops (such as wheat, maize and rice) worldwide is one of the reasons for the increased vulnerability of agriculture to climate change and related problems. Increasing the genetic diversity of wheat grains by growing minor or new species can increase the stability, reliability and resilience of cropping systems, contribute to sustainable pest and disease control, and increase product diversity and income opportunities for farmers.
