Triticale

""Triticale [Triticosecale rimpaui] is a hybrid of wheat [Triticum] and rye [Secale] that is little more than a century old. The main goal in creating triticale was to produce a grain with many of the advantages of wheat for product development – with the ability of rye to thrive in adverse conditions. 

The first wheat/rye cross-breeding occurred in Scotland in 1875, but this crossing was sterile; in 1888, German botanists first discovered how to produce a fertile hybrid of the two grains. The name triticale first seems to have been used in Germany about 1935. Although great hopes were entertained for triticale, it has been slow to find widespread commercial acceptance or demand. 

However, as it requires few pesticides, reduces soil erosion, and can capture excess soil nitrogen, triticale is especially suited to organic farming and may for that reason be on its way to a shining future."
