Triticale: a cereal for manganese deficient soils locations
Aims

To 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.
