Abstract
Two-factorial field experiments were conducted at the Prusy Experiment Station near Krakow, Poland, from 1999 to 2001. Treatments comprised three spring triticale cultivars (Migo, Kargo and Wanad) and two sowing rates (400 and 500 kernels per m SUP 2 ). The grain yields of spring triticale varied between years and were affected by cultivars and sowing rates. Of the studied cultivars, Kargo gave higher yields than Migo (8.2 dt ha SUP -1 ) and Wanad (5.4 dt ha SUP -1 ). The grain yields of Kargo and Migo were increased by higher sowing rates. The cultivar used had a significant effect on the 1000-grain weight. Less apparent effects of cultivar were observed for the degree of tillering, length of ears and plant height. No effect of cultivar was noted for the number of spikelets and kernels per ear. Sowing rate significantly modified the components of yield structure and characteristics of spring triticale morphotype. Increasing the sowing rate resulted in a higher number of ears per area unit, higher 1000-grain weight and enhanced plant height. In contrast, number of spikelets and kernels in an ear and its length were decreased
