VNS Spring Triticale & Surge Spring Triticale: Facultative Varieties for Fall or Spring Planting
See how two facultative spring triticale varieties—VNS and Surge—perform when planted in fall instead of spring. These varieties can act as winter triticale but don't require dormancy, giving you planting flexibility. Watch the results from our test plot after a harsh winter.

0:19 Facultative which means they can act as a winter triticale but they don't have
0:24 To burn alive so they can be planted in the spring. So these are planted in the
0:27 Fall and these are a couple of different varieties that we're kind of looking at.
