Narrative
ANPELON winter triticale, originated from the heterogeneous population URSS # 3310, developed by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT, Int), Mexico, D.F., was selected and released as a forage cultivar in Mexico by the Universidad Autonoma Agraria Antonio Narro at Coahuila State in 2012 (Reg. no. 2832-TCL-015-231112/C). Triticale AN PELON is a complete hexaploid winter genotype: is a tall (150-180 cm), late maturity triticale. It has a long, awnless, cream to light yellow colored, dense, and upright spikes. Its kernels are light brown in color. ANPELON triticale was evaluated in advanced forage yield trials under 11 environments of northern Mexico from 2007-2008 until 2012 fall-winter cycles across three cuts. In average of all environments, triticale AN PELON yielded 10,756 kg/ha of accumulated dry forage. The average crude protein content (CP) of AN PELON was 24.6, 22.7 and 19.1 % at the first, second and third cut, respectively. Also, triticale AN PELON registered an relative value forage (RVF) of 138,119 and 107 at the first, second and third cut, respectively. At present, ANPELON begins to be used by farmers of northern states of Mexico, mainly for multiple fresh cuts and hay, mainly for dairy cows, and grazing by yearling steers and heifers.
