TRITICALE, ALTERNATIVE PLANT TO WHEAT CROPS ON SANDY SOILS IN ROMANIA

The recent climate changes have determined agricultural drought in the sandy soils with negative implications on plant growth and development. In this context during 2009-2011 were experienced in RDCFCSS Dabuleni every 12 genotypes of wheat and triticale in purpose recommendation a straw cereals in crop rotations on sandy soils. The results obtained show that triticale manifest better tolerance to drought, recording higher values of bound water with 0.64% and 0.55% of cellular juice concentration compared to wheat.Mean standard deviation, obtained production in wheat varieties (σ = 371 kg / ha) and triticale (σ = 130 kg / ha) emphasizes best stability in the behavior of triticale varieties.Compared with wheat, triticale has registered an increase in production of 1033.9 kg / ha and a profit rate of between 25.03 to 52.59% ,(profit rate of wheat genotypes was between -9.72% and 19.5%)
