Triticale cultivar mixtures: Productivity, resource use and resource use efficiency in a Mediterranean environment

Cultural systems based on mixtures of varieties may be more successful in resource use and resource use efficiency than those based on single varieties. Two triticale cultivars of different phenology (Bienvenu, intermediate; and Oceania, spring) grown in pure stands were compared with mixtures of the two (25:75; 50:50 and 75:25). Field experiments were carried out in Sardinia (Italy) in five experiments created by combining seasons, sowing date...
