A study was conducted during 1997–99 to determine the effect of nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha) and seeding rates (80, 130, 180 and 230 kg/ha) on yield and yield attributes of Triticosecale at Dicle University, Diyarbakir, Turkey. Plant height, spike length, yield and protein cotent of the seeds increased with increasing nitrogen levels. The highest seed yield (2, 011 kg/ha) was obtained with 120 kg N/ha. Seeding rate also affected spike length, spikelet number, 1, 000-seed weight and protein content.
