Abstract
Three cultivars of hexaploid triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) and wheat (T. aestivum L. em Thell ’Glenlea’) were used to study the influence of plant density on grain yield, yield components, and protein and lysine content. Three plant densities, 140, 280 and 420 plants/m 2 were tested at three locations. Significant differences were found between Glenlea and the triticales, and among the three triticales for all characters investigated. Although grain yield was not significantly affected, 1000-kernel weight, kernel number per spike, and number of fertile spikes per plant exhibited a highly significant linear decrease with increased plant density. Protein level and lysine content, however, were not influenced by density.
