Triticale: a cereal for manganese deficient soils locations
Aims

Screen triticale for Mn efficiency and compare this to rye and wheat

Key messages

• Triticale tolerance of low manganese was much greater than for wheat or barley, but not as good as rye
• Higher seen Mn in triticale varieties was correlated with greater yield
• There was significant variation in manganese efficiency between triticale genotypes
