A comparative study of modern Bulgarian and Polish winter triticale varieties over four growing seasons was conducted, after a predecessor of sunflower under unfertilized conditions on Pelic Vertisol. The length of the growing season and the days to heading were characterized based on the number of days with active temperature above 5°C, as well as the variability of productivity and the elements of productivity: plant height, number of grains in a spike and mass of 1000 grains. The results on average for the period showed that the Colorit variety had the shortest growing season (163 days) and the shortest period from sowing to heading 112 days). The duration of the growing season was longest for Casino variety (169 days). The period from sowing to heading was the longest for Avocado and Casino varieties (119 days). Environmental conditions had a dominant effect on yield, number of grains per spike and plant height, while the variety had a dominant effect on thousand-grain mass. The Casino and Avocado varieties demonstrated the best results in terms of thousand-grain mass and grain yield, while the Colorit variety showed the highest number of grains per spike.
