Abstract :Triticale hexaploide Lart. commonly known as Triticale is a manmade cereal obtained from cross between wheat insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Triticum); and rye insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Secale);. It is used for food and feed purposes in view of its high nutritive value. In the present study, we focused on enhancement in the crop production of Triticale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Triticale hexaploide Lart.); under semi arid conditions at Agra, India. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of Azotobacter and chemical fertilizers on seven variety of triticale viz. R2TL3001, R1TL3005, R1TL3006, R1TL2942, R2TL3002, R1TL3003, R1TL3004 and a local variety of wheat which was treated as check. The results of R1TL2942, R1TL3003 and R1TL3006 with Azotobacter were observed as best yielding variety of Triticale with 56-59 grains and with 55-58 grains per spike respectively. The findings show that R1TL2942, R1TL3003 and R1TL3006 are the potential variety of Triticale that could grow under Indian climatic conditions.
