Tikhon is a new variety of winter triticale of “National Center of Grain n. a. P.P. Luk’yanenko” selection

Since 2019 a new winter triticale variety, Tikhon, has been included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements in the North Caucasus (6) region of the Russian Federation. The variety was obtained by an intervarietal hybridization within genus Triticale and double individual selection in F₂, F₃ of the hybrid population Yarylo / 0-113t12 // 01-184t14. Tikhon's genealogy includes the famous triticale varieties: AD-206, AD-60, ADP-2, AD Zelenyy, wheat: Semi-dwarf 71, Northern Cuban, Albidum 114, Kroshka, Pobeda 50, Skifyanka and Saratovskaya rye 4, EM-1, Haruchiban. Tikhon has a high productivity and a high adaptive potential. The yield in the trials by its predecessors for 2015-2018, in comparison with the Brat standard, was: for an occupied pair 113.9 c from 1 ha (+10.5 c from 1 hectare), wheat 109.5 (+ 17.0 c from 1 hectare), corn for grain 120.2 (+25.8 centners from 1 hectare), sunflower 105.2 (+16.6 centners from 1 hectare). The average yield over four years was 112.2 centners per hectare, which is 17.4 centners higher than the standard one. Along the length of the growing season, the variety is early maturing, and stands out 9 days earlier than the standard variety Brat. In height it has a short stem (110-115cm), resistant to lodging. Frost resistance is average, at the level of the standard variety Brat. The grain is large, light red, half-long, the TSW is up to 52 gr., Nature is 755 g/l, the protein content depending on the year of cultivation and its predecessor is from 12.0 to 14.0%. For baking properties, Tikhon is not allocated. Flour can be used to bake cookies, muffins, and mixed with soft wheat flour. Against the background of artificial infection, it shows immunity to yellow rust, powdery mildew, and head smut. It is highly resistant to a hard smut, resistant to Septoria. It moderately is susceptible to leaf rust. By the earing, fusarium it shows susceptibility.
