In resource-conserving agriculture in the USA, winter triticale is gaining popularity.

Winter triticale, a hybrid of wheat and rye, is rapidly gaining popularity in crop rotations and conservation farming in the United States. According to agronomists, its use helps combat soil compaction, improves soil health and structure, and provides feed for animals. This is reported by AgroPages. As a predecessor, triticale allows for an increase in corn yield by 4–7%, and soybean yield by 8–15%. The crop effectively reduces soil erosion, improves water retention capacity, and enriches the soil with organic matter. Agronomist Tom Kilser from Advanced Ag Systems LLC notes that winter triticale is already actively used throughout the United States and Canada, as well as for dairy cattle in European countries such as Ireland, Germany, and Hungary. An important advantage of triticale is the control of phosphorus losses in the form of solid particles and dissolved phosphorus. Plant roots, the size of a soccer ball, hold the soil in place, and dissolved phosphorus is converted into ...
