EFFECT OF GENOTYPE AND YEAR ON THE PARAMETERS OF WINTER TRITICALE PRODUCTIVITY CULTIVATED IN NORTHERN MONTENEGRO

This paper presents the results of the impact of fertilization and genotype on fertility parameters of winter triticale. The experiment tested five genotypes of winter triticale (Odisey, Kg-20, Triumph, Rtanj and Tango) from different breeding. The genotypes were grown in the north of Montenegro, in Bijelo Polje (Sutivan) over three growing seasons (2009-2012). The researches were carried out on the river alluvium soil type on an experiment designed by randomized block design with three replications. The assessment of winter triticale genotypes was based on the analyzed quantitative and qualitative indicators of productivity (number of grains per spike, 1000 grain mass, hectoliter mass and grain yield). In all three years of the study, genotype Tango had the highest grain yield (5.99 t ha^-1), while the lowest yield was observed in genotype Kg-20 (4.48 t ha^-1). Also, Tango genotype had the highest value of 1000 grain mass (50.9 g), while the highest hectoliter mass was achieved in genotype Triumph (71.66 kg). The results showed that meteorological conditions, in the three tested years, had a great influence on the yield and quality. The lack of precipitation and extreme temperatures in the third year caused the abrupt termination of grain filling stages which led to a decline in yield and grain quality. The results of these studies would be valuable in terms of its growing as forage crop as well as in terms of its breeding for grain quality and productivity.
