Differences in Grain Yield and Grain Quality Traits of Winter Triticale Depending on the Variety, Fertilizer and Weather Conditions

Impact of agro-ecological conditions and fertilization on yield and quality of triticale on pseudogley soil

“…Yields of winter triticale in research conducted by Bielski et al (2020) significantly varied during the three-year experiment and ranged from an average of 4.56 t ha -1 in 2013, 4.62 t ha -1 in 2014 and 3.82 t ha -1 in 2015. The effect of the year on grain yield in the winter triticale was not significant, which is in accordance with the results of Lalević et al (2022). A significant influence of the growing season on grain yield in winter triticale was established by Dogan et al (2011), Ivanova and Tsenov (2014), Janušauskaite (2014) and Kirchev and Georgieva (2017), in wheat by Kadar et al (2018) and Popović et al (2020) and for oats by Jelić et al (2013) and Ugrenović et al (2021).…”

“…On average for all fertilization variants, during a three-year trial, the highest yield of triticale is reported by Rajičić et al (2020) on the variant with combined application of NPK (80 kg ha -1 N, 100 kg ha -1 P2O5 and 60 kg ha -1 K2O). Lalević et al (2022) point out that for all tested variants of fertilization in both years of testing the highest average yield is observed for the variant of 120 kg ha -1 nitrogen fertilization (6.60 t ha -1 in the first and 6.37 t ha -1 in the second year). The high impact of combined nutrition of NPK, lime and manure on grain yield on acidic soils is determined by Biberdžić et al (2017), Rajičić et al (2020) and Babić et al (2023), which is consistent with our research.…”

“…By analysis of variance, individual influences of fertilization on grain yield were significant at the 0.01 level. The highly significant effect of fertilization on grain yield of winter triticale is established by Đekić et al (2014), Ivanova andTsenov (2014), Terzic et al (2018) and Lalević et al (2022). Bielski et al (2020) indicate that the highest grain yield of triticale during the three-year experiment is obtained in the treatment with 120 kg ha -1 nitrogen fertilization (4.80 t ha -1 ) and the lowest in the control treatment without nitrogen fertilization (3.17 t ha -1 ).…”

“…A nitrogen fertilizer rate of 120 kg N ha -1 combined with two foliar fungicide treatments exerted the most beneficial influence on the yield and disease resistance of semi-dwarf winter triticale (Dubis et al, 2017). A nitrogen fertilizer rate of 120 kg N ha -1 exerted the most beneficial influence on the yield of winter triticale (Lalević and Biberdžić, 2016;Terzic et al, 2018;Bielski et al, 2020;Rajičić et al, 2020;Lalević et al, 2022). The combined application of mineral NPK fertilizer with lime and manure resulted in a significant increase in fertility of the studied pseudogley soil, which was confirmed by a significant increase in the yield of triticale with this particular fertilizer variant (NPK + lime + manure).…”

“…Recently, there is a need to formulate a fertilization system that will be adapted to climatic and soil conditions, meaning that there is no single formula applicable in every cultivation area (Biberdžić et al, 2012). However, there are universal, basic principles of fertilization and mineral element requirements of triticale plants that must be respected if full exploitation of the genetic potential of cultivars and cultivation sites is desired (Bielski, 2015;Kucukozdemir et al, 2018;Lalević et al, 2022). Inadequate application of fertilizers, regardless of the requirements of plants and soil fertility, leads to the accumulation of unused nutrients in the soil, which poses a threat to the overall ecosystem and threatens the production of healthy and safe food (Biberdžić et al, 2017;Terzic et al, 2018;Rajičić et al, 2020;Babić et al, 2023).…”
