    Evaluación del comportamiento agronómico de 4 líneas promisorias de triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) generado por el INIAP, bajo condiciones agroecológicas de Querochaca

    Triticale is a genetically improved cereal obtained by crossing wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale) and was created for desert locations with poor soils and acidic pH. In Ecuador there are no triticale crops for commercialization due to the varieties released in the 80s that were not accepted, that is why this research has been carried out to identify its productivity and yield to reach the producers and motivate production, the which was carried out at the Technical University of Ambato, on the Querochaca Campus, whose purpose was the evaluation of the agroecological behavior of 4 promising lines of triticale and 1 control released by INIAP, to identify the material with the highest yield and best adaptability in said area, for which a completely random design was used with 3 repetitions for each of the promising lines and the control, generating a total of 15 experimental units with an area of 3m2 per plot. The variables to be evaluated were: plant vigor, growth habit, days to heading, plant height, type of straw, size of spike, number of grains per spike, yield, hectoliter or specific weight, weight of a thousand grains, type and grain color and diseases. The results were analyzed using tables and graphs obtained by the INFOSTAT software. It was shown that the 4 promising lines of Triticale and the control adapted to the agroecological conditions and no significant differences were found in the variables evaluated.
