Abstract
To evaluate and identify high yielding triticale lines syuiable to cold, temperate and warm agro-climatic conditions of Fars province, a field experiments were carried-out in Eqlid, Zarghan, and Darab agricultural research stations in 2012-2013 growing season. Twenty-nine triticale advanced lines (received from CIMMYT) were cultivated along with Juanilo 92 variety (check) in randomized complete block design with three replications. Each plot was four meters long with 1.2 meter in width. Fertilizers were applied based on soil analysis. The results showed that the highest grain yield (7450 kg ha-1) obtained from Darab and the lowest (2800 kg ha-1) from Eqlid. In Zarghan, Juanilo 92 variety had the highest grain yield (7300 kg ha-1). In Darab, the highest grain yield belonged to lines no. 2 and 21 with 8966 and 8900 kg ha-1, respectively. The results showed that the average grain yield of lines no. 8, 7 and 21 in all three locations were 1.8, 3.5 and 12.9 percent higher than Juanilio 92, respectively.
