FRANK SPRING TRITICALE

Frank triticale (× triticosecale Wittmack) was developed at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Swift Current, Saskatchewan. It was produced by intercrossing genotypes developed by the International Center for the Improvement of Maize and Wheat (CIMMYT), the University of Manitoba and the South Saskatchewan Wheat Program prior to subjecting the segregants to early generation yield-testing procedures. Frank demonstrates major improvements in yield, test weight, and earliness relative to other Canadian triticale cultivars.Key words: Cultivar description, Triticale (spring), × triticosecale Wittmack
