In the last decades, due to the genetic advances obtained in the plant breeding sector, a series of triticale varieties with high production potential and stability have been created, more productive than wheat varieties and even maize cultivated in the hilly areas with poorly fertile soils and low pH. This research aims to follow the behaviour of several winter triticale varieties created by INCDA Fundulea, namely: Plai, Titan, Stil, Haiduc, Negoiu and TF 2, on a period of 8 experimental years, in condition specific to Transylvania Plain. Research covered two levels of fertilization N50:P50 and N100:P50. Results show different reaction of the winter triticale varieties to fertilization treatment. The older variety TF 2 delivered an average yield of 6954 kg ha-1 in the plots fertilized with 100 kg ha-1 N. The highest yields were recorded in the year 2014 by Haiduc variety, delivering a yield of 9203 kg ha-1 in treatments with 100 kg ha-1 N. Results pointed out that an important genetic progress was achieved in which concerns the potential yield of this species.
