Abstract

The results from a study conducted on triticale (axenic culture) are presented for the first time in Cuba, after evaluating 49 cultivars from a collection pertaining to the International Center for Maize and Wheat Breeding (CIMMYT). The experiment was carried out at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences (INCA), where every crop phase length, plant height, yield and its components were evaluated on a multivariate analysis. Results proved that crop phase length differed triticale cultivars within the group, but not its yield nor its components. The most influencing characters on group
division were vegetative cycle, anthesis-flowering, arrowing, maturity-harvest and total crop cycle, the latter ones coinciding with the highest contributors on the discriminant analysis for every character analyzed.
