This paper presents the results obtained at A.R.D.S. Secuieni regarding the adaptability of the triticale species, under different fertilization systems, in the context of climate change and has as a main purpose to evaluate the efficiency of the cultivation of this species under increasingly variable pedoclimatic conditions. Ten triticale genotypes were studied in two systems under fertilized and unfertilized cropping regimes during 2020/2023. The average yields realized during the analyzed period ranged from 4224 kg/ha to 6503 kg/ha. The most productive variety was Zaraza, in the fertilized system. The fertilized system yielded a 2.3% higher protein content than the unfertilized system (average of 15.5% in the fertilized system and 13.2% in the unfertilized system), which shows the importance of fertilization in increasing the nutritive value of triticale. The Zaraza variety had a maximum protein content of 18%. The unfertilized system's thousand kernel weight is higher than the fertilized system's. Based on the results obtained, the non-fertilized variants had equal or even higher yields and thousand kernel weight than the fertilized variants, but the average protein percentage was higher in the fertilized variants.
