crop Triticale,
where this is mentioned in the description.
Triticale test weight reflects the degree of endosperm development in relation to the outer layers and directly influences flour yield during processing. Typical values for this crop range from 700–750 g/L; values below 650 g/L are classified as low, while levels of 800 g/L and above are considered very high and characteristic of the most well-filled varieties.
This parameter depends on varietal characteristics, agro-climatic conditions during the grain-filling period, the presence of impurities, and the moisture content of the grain mass. Although test weight is a varietal trait with a high degree of stability, adverse external factors can lead to the formation of shriveled grain and a decrease in density.
