Abstract

An experiment which objective was to evaluate the production of hydroponic fodder of three varieties of triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack): Embrapa 53, BRS Minotauro and BRS Ulisses at the densities 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 kg m-2, was made at Colégio Politécnico da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) – RS in the spring of 2010. The experiment was conducted in a high tunnel with each treatment in an area of 1.0 m-2, using a nutrient solution described by Santos et al. (2004). Evaluations were performed 15 days after sowing. The variety Embrapa 53 had the highest average yield 7.719 kg m-2. The most efficient doses of seeds were from 2.0 to 3.0 kg m-2.
