“…In a study by Alaru et al [33], the strongest effect on the yield volume and structure was produced by the years of the experiment, followed by the cultivar and then the division of the nitrogen fertilization dose. This supports the earlier studies conducted by other authors, who reported that the yield volume and quality of triticale depended not only on fertilization but also on the weather conditions [34,35]. Biberdžić et al [12] mention the weather as one of the most important factors affecting the yield of grain.…”

Research related to fertilization in winter triticale cultivation was limited to macroelements. The effects of boron on triticale (deficiency or toxicity) affecting productivity are still unknown. In 2013-2015, a field experiment was carried out at the Experimental Station in Tomaszkowo near Olsztyn. The objective was set response of winter triticale variety Pigmej under the influence of various levels of nitrogen (N) and boron (B) fertilization. Five levels of nitrogen fertilization: 0, 40, 80 (50 + 30), 120 (90 + 30), and 160 (90 + 70) kg ha −1 and four levels of boron fertilization: 0, 0.8, 1.6, and 2.4 kg ha −1 were tested. The experiment has demonstrated considerable differences in the grain yield volume and structure under the influence of various weather conditions and different doses of nitrogen. The difference between the highest and lowest grain yield was 1.7 t ha −1 -53.6%. The effect of boron application was also manifested as an increase in the winter triticale grain yield and improved yield component structure, but the statistically significant differences were observed only in ears number per 1 m 2 . The highest dose of boron applied in the experiment caused a decrease in the quantity of grain yield and its component parts.Agronomy 2020, 10, 279 2 of 12 claim that winter cereals will be grown in northern regions on a much larger area in the near future than at present.One of the most important agrotechnical factors influencing the yield of grain and enabling farmers to take full advantage of the high production potential of cereals is mineral fertilization, especially nitrogen nutrition [9,[15][16][17]. In intensive plant production, the level of nitrogen fertilization and the date of its application are essential for the attainment of high productivity of plants, supplying good quality yields [18].Boron is one of the micronutrients that are deficient in soil [19]. According to Herrera-Rodriguez [20], large areas of farmland across the world are characterized by a boron deficit, which inhibits the growth, development, and yielding of major crops. In Poland, the majority of soils are light and acidic. This is conducive to boron deficiencies, because the element is readily soluble in water and therefore easily leached from soil.Boron can be applied in long-term and in annual plantations; it is usually supplied in spring or autumn, in the form of solid fertilizers, either to soil or sprayed over foliage, and sometimes even during seed dressing. Plants should have access to this element from germination of maturity [21]. Boron is involved in many processes in the plant, e.g., calcium utilization, cell division, during the generative growth of plants, when the element affects water relations, resistance to diseases, and nitrogen metabolism [22]. Among elements essential for plants, boron is the only element that is absorbed not as an ion but as an uncharged molecule [23].Boron is essential for plants, and recent studies on the biological role of this element in different metabolic, nutritive, hormonal, ...

“…According to Obuchowski, et al [48], the starch content in grain is an important, but not solitary factor used to assess the suitability of triticale for bioethanol production. Another significant consideration is the grain yield per cropped field unit [48,49], which largely depends on the weather conditions and the dose of mineral nitrogen fertilization [50,51]. Therefore, despite a significantly lower content of starch in grain, the high-input production system supplied bioethanol yield per unit of the cropped fields higher by 25.0% than the low-input production system.…”

“…The yield of grain, starch, and bioethanol in triticale cultivation is highly variable and highly dependent on weather conditions during the growing season. This variability may be particularly limited by appropriate crop management, especially mineral fertilization [49,50]. Thiemt and Oettler [53] claim that the high genetic variability of grain traits affecting the yield of ethanol that occurs within elite triticale breeding material, implicating high potential for breeding and selecting triticale toward higher ethanol productivity.…”

Energy use in agricultural production has been increasing faster than in many other sectors of the world economy. Owing to high energy consumption during the production of agricultural inputs, with mineral nitrogen fertilizers in particular, it is often questioned as to whether agricultural production is still energy efficient. The objective of this research was to evaluate the energy efficiency of different intensity systems for the production of semi-dwarf winter triticale cultivar ”Twingo”. Cultivar “Twingo” entered the Polish National List in 2012 as one of the best yielding. For this reason, it was used in this experiment to examine its response to basic agrotechnical factors. The field experiment was conducted in the Agricultural Experiment Station in Tomaszkowo in 2013–2015. Low-input, medium-input and high-input production systems were evaluated. The compared systems differed in nitrogen fertilization rates and the level of fungicide protection. The highest output/input ratio was noticed growing winter triticale in low-input production system. The most energy-consuming operation during winter triticale production in the compared systems was mineral fertilization. The high-input production system was significantly lower energy efficiency than the other systems (6.21, medium-input 5.95, low-input 8.19). The energy return on investment (EROI) ratio was low, but above 1, in all the analyzed technologies (low-input 1.30, medium-input 1.14, high-input 1.15). The energy value of the bioethanol produced was higher than the energy inputs into the production of raw material and its processing. The conversion of winter triticale grain to bioethanol proved that the EROI reached the most favorable value for the low-input production system.

According to the assumptions of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD, the share of biofuels in the global transport sector is estimated to reach 15%–23% by 2050. The triticale can be used to produce bioethanol. The appropriate production process should generate as much renewable energy as possible per production unit. Plant production can be carried out in various tillage systems and using appropriate doses of nitrogen fertilization. The objective of this study is to compare the effect of traditional tillage system (TRD) and reduced (RED) tillage technology and nitrogen fertilizer (0, 40, 80, 120 kg N ha−1) on grain and bioethanol yield of spring triticale. The field experiment was performed in the south east of Poland (50°42′ N, 23°15′ E) on medium dystrophic typical brown soil. Based on research and calculations, the TRD system and between 40 and 80 kg ha−1 of N fertilizer are recommended for use in the cultivation of triticale for bioethanol production purposes. Such a variant will ensure a sufficient yield of grain (5.190 and 5.803 t ha−1), starch (3.462 and 3.871 t ha−1) and bioethanol (2487.3 and 2780.7 L ha−1) and good agronomic efficiency of N fertilizer (16.96 and 12.15 L of bioethanol per 1 kg of nitrogen (N) applied). The best ratio of energy efficiency of bioethanol production (EROI — Energy Return on (Energy) Investment or “net energy”) was recorded for the TRD system (1.138:1) and for the N fertilizer at 40 kg N ha−1 (1.144:1).
