Talk:Triticale

"In Conclusion, my friends..."

This is an encyclopedia article, not a position paper. It doesn't need, and shouldn't have, any sort of conclusions; those are for the reader to draw. The "Conclusion" section's relevant information should be moved into another section and the writer's absurd and pretentious final thoughts, (i.e. "Triticale holds great potential as a world food source.") should be removed altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.177.14.96 (talk) 01:07, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Fictional triticales

"Fictional triticales" section is clearly irrelevant unless you can find many more examples. -antelopotamus

As opposed to one example that's widely known and culturally significant? Many people only know of triticale because of quadrotriticale.

Shouldn't the Star Trek section be in a 'Trivia' section? It's so out of place at the moment it's ridiculous... --211.28.219.156 04:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Over at Wikitroid I asked about the deca-triticale thing and we decided it was a misreading of decacycle. Therefor, removing it from the article. Cheers! AlishaShatogi (talk) 19:06, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I

certainly don't want to cause more tribble than necessary; but, I've noticed that the parenthetic notes seem to be to the right of the periods. This can be somewhat confusng, particularly to those, like myself, who do not comprehend much of the words.

When the notes are too fuzzy, that can cause much tribble. It may even "start a wreck".

Thank You.

I can't make any sense out of this comment. Can anyone else? -Jarsyl 04:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Nutrition information with comparisons

A section on nutrition information would be great, especially with comparisons to common grains. For example, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc. Edgriebel 14:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Citing non-listed books in "Biology and genetics"

This article currently reads like someone's biology class essay. In a good way. Lots of (cited!) data and good flow. Because of this it's surprising that there are some major problems with the section "Biology and genetics." Most (all?) of the works cited in this section do not appear in the references section at the bottom of the page. I noticed this when I went to correct the obvious typo: "(Laibach, 925)," and couldn't find any listings for this author. How ought we to resolve this situation? I'd hate to delete the citations, but they're of no use without the full references. -Jarsyl 04:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Taxobox

Taxobox must be used ONLY for natural taxon. Triticale is an artificial hybrid. Meneguzzo 22:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Someone please add the pronunciation of the name of this grain. I know how to pronounce it, but am insufficiently familiar with the proper notation to put it in writing. -- Nahum (talk) 06:38, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

References

I commented out this reference.

• Góral, H. (2002) Biological-breeding Aspects of Utilization of Heterosis in Triticale (x Triticosecale, Wittmack) Zesz Nauk Akademii Rolniczejw Krakowie, 283, 1-116.

I could could not verify it anywhere. The transaltion from Polish to English would imply someone worked on a book and published the work which would also imply original research.

Food allergies?

Are there any references that may be added concerning food allergies? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.229.177.241 (talk) 13:44, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Missing information

As previously mentioned by others, a nutritional information summary would be a nice addition. Also missing are information pertaining to patents (including related to Colchicine). 76.10.128.192 (talk) 00:36, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Minor ingredient in vodka

This sentence and ref in italics were added to the lede. Roxx Vodka - In Poland it is also used to make vodka. Issues: 1) the website is commercial, WP:SPAM; 2) if the source were a secondary review of the use of triticale in vodka, and it was a significant ingredient in vodka manufacturing (it is the 4th grain listed in manufacturing), it would be a valid item to include in the article; 3) the manufacturer appears to be American using the Polish "origin" as a marketing emphasis, making the source less valid per WP:PROMO. Overall, this is a trivial statement and use of triticale with a promotional reference, so should be excluded from the article. Please stop the edit warring until there is consensus to include such information. --Zefr (talk) 15:45, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Triticale is currently being used in a Vodka from Park Distillers in Alberta, Canada and by High Spirits Distillery in Perth, Western Australia. Both are using 100% unmalted Triticale for the only source of fermentables for use in their Triticale Vodka's. MikeHSD (talk) 04:52, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
