A New Cold Tolerant, Lodging Resistant and High Grain Yielding Forage Triticale Cultivar “Shinyoung”

Abstract

Shinyoung triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack), a winter forage triticale was released by the National Crop Exper-1987. Subsequent generations were handled in pedigree selection program at Suwon and Yeoncheon from 1989 to 1995 by NCES.A head row was selected for winter hardiness and agronomic appearance in 1995 and designated SWT1967-B-9-8-7-9-3 forpreliminary yield trial. In 1998, it was designated Suwon 25 and placed in regional yield trials. Over 3 years (1999~2001),Shinyoung averaged 5.92 ton ha1check variety Paldang as a result of late heading. But it yielded 4.29 ton ha1 of grain yield and was superior to other varietieswith increase of 25% more than Paldang and 23% more than Koolgrazer. The heading date of Shinyoung was May 12which was 9 days later than that of Koolgrazer. It would be recomended as a winter forage crop when harvested at headingstage (around May 10) in South Korea.
