Chromosome duplication of Hordeum chilense and Triticum turgidum conv. durum hybrids created a
new cereal with favorable characteristics for planting: the hexaploid tritordeum (X Tritordeum Ascherson et
Graebner). A field experiment with three replications was carried out in Cordoba, Spain, to obtain more information
on the potential yield of tritordeum for grain yield and its components. The performance of two advanced
tritordeums was compared with the yield of two commercial wheat varieties, two durum wheats and four triticales.
Results showed that tritordeum has a great potential for the development of highly productive varieties,
especially because it is a new and rarely bred species
