Organic Triticale Seed (lb)

Organic Triticale Seed (lb)

Promotes Water Penetration

Triticum X Secale Certified Organic. Cool season cover crop. Exciting cereal grain variety offers many benefits, especially in orchards and vineyards. Creates a tremendous amount of organic matter due to its massive root system and its enormous amount of top growth. Low growing (6"-12) until late spring to early summer, when it can reach 5'. A “spring” type of triticale, which puts on more growth during cooler winter months than the Trios variety.

  • Application Rate: 60-80 lb/acre or 2-4 lb/1000 sq ft.
  • Inoculant: No inoculant required
  • Germination: 5-10 Days
  • Plant Height: 5'
  • Uses: Because of its aggressive root system, Trios promotes water penetration and erosion control during the rainy season. Use this crop to take up excess nitrogen.
  • Facts to Note: Yields more organic matter than even Merced Rye or Barley. Mow it in spring to a height of 3 and it will continue to regrow.

Incredible biomass

We planted late, following a very dry fall, and barely had the triticale in the ground by Halloween. We had maybe 10 days of rain this winter here in Central (coastal) California and plenty of frost-- but my field is packed with beautiful triticale that is, in places, 4.5 feet tall. Three months after emerging, it is sprouting seed heads and it's time to terminate well ahead of schedule. What a fantastic cover crop-- only the wild mustard was able to find sun in my triticale field.
