Additional Information
Why We Recommend This
Triticale is adapted to more environments than wheat but produces more biomass and higher quality forage. Triticale scavenges nutrients, reduces erosion, and has an allelopathic effect on weeds.
Things to Watch Out For
Triticale is more vulnerable to insects than cereal rye or wheat. It can become a weed if it goes to seed.
