Abstract
Intra-varietal selection for grain yield was carried out in 5 triticale (x Triticosecale cultivars (Niovi, Vryto, Dada, Thisvi, and Vronti)), maintained by the 'off type' plant elimination method. A total of 8 selections identified, purified and multiplied by the 'ear-to-row' method were evaluated for yield, together with their original cultivars, in 5 locations in Greece during 1986-89. The analysis of variance revealed that only one of the selected lines was better in yield performance than its original cultivar. In all examined cases, no significant effects in qualitative traits was recorded. Thus, the results of the present study suggest that intra-varietal selection for grain yield in advanced generations in triticale is not effective in yield improvement and that visual inspection and selection of plants differing in some morphological traits are not sufficient to provide yield increase in triticale
