Abstract

A replicated field experiment was conducted to determine the relationship of yield and yield components and other characters in 22 triticale selection and 3 bread wheat varieties at the University of the Philippines at Los Baños, College, Laguna during the 1979 dry season.

Results showed that Rahum and Beagle were among the higher yielding triticale. Their yields were comparable to those of C48-11 and Anza, the two bread wheat check varieties adapted to local growing conditions.

Number of productive tillers or number of spikes and number of grains per spike were found to be significantly correlated with yield. No significant correlation was found between grain yield and 1000-grain weight.

Correlation analyses showed that plant height, harvest index, number of spikelets per spike, and number of seeds per spikelet were highly correlated with yield. Number of days from sowing to heading and number of days from sowing to maturity , however, showed significant negative correlation with yield.
