Effect of Some Cutting Practices on Productivity of Triticale Under New Valley Conditions

Two field experiments were carried out at the Experimental Research Station, Desert Research Center, EL-Kharga Oasis, New Valley Governorate, during the two winter growing seasons of 2020/ 2021 and 2021/ 2022. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potentiality evaluation of grain and forage yields of triticale using some cutting practices under New Valley conditions. Based on the results obtained, if the purpose of planting triticale is to obtain green fodder, the study recommends performing the mowing process 80 days after planting and at a height of 15 cm from the surface of the ground, while if the purpose is to produce grains, the study recommends performing the mowing process at 50 days old from planting and at a height of 15 cm from the ground under New Valley conditions.
