Triticale

Cereals and Pseudocereals

A human-made cereal crop, a hybrid of wheat (genus Triticum) and rye (genus Secale), first bred experimentally in the late nineteenth century in Scotland and Germany and developed into agriculturally viable cultivars over the twentieth century, notably through breeding programs in Europe and at Mexico's international wheat and maize research center. Triticale was bred to combine the higher grain yield and quality of wheat with rye's hardiness, disease resistance and tolerance of poor soils and cold climates. It is grown mainly as animal feed and forage, with smaller use in bread and other foods, and Poland, Germany, France and Belarus are among the leading producers.
