Description
Winter Triticale is a winter annual grass that is commonly planted for forage production and displays desirable traits from each of its parent species (wheat and rye). Winter Triticale is extremely winter hardy like cereal rye, but produces higher quality forage much like winter wheat. It will perform best on well drained to moderately drained soils, as extended periods of standing water can result in winter kill. Winter Triticale is moderately tolerant to saline soils.

Management Considerations
- Plant it in mid to late fall when conditions will allow it to germinate before entering a dormant period
- For hay or haylage, cut at any point from the late boot stage through the soft dough stage. Cutting earlier will result in lower yields but higher quality forage.
