Remarks
:
Winter triticale has a winter hardiness potential slightly lower than winter wheat. Bobcat, Luoma and Metzger have heads with
reduced awn length (awnletted), making them more palatable in forage applications. No winter triticale variety performance data were
collected from 2009-2013.

The actual yields for Pika are provided in bu/ac. Note that small plot yields may be 10-15% higher than field scale results.
2
Yields are
reported relative to Pika. Varieties that are statistically higher (+) or lower (-) yielding than Pika are indicated. No symbol after the yield
figure indicates no statistical difference.
3
Resistance/Tolerance Ratings: VG = Very Good; G = Good; F = Fair; P = Poor; VP = Very Poor.
4
Maturities rated as: VE = Very Early; E = Early; M = Medium; L = Late; VL = Very Late. The long term average maturity for Pika is 224
days after January 1 (August 12) or about a week later than most winter wheat varieties.
