A field trial is conducted in Field Crops Institute (Bulgaria), in the period 2017-2019 on Pelic Verisols to evaluate the influence of three factors on yield triticale components: variety, electromagnetic seeds treatment and fertilization. Two Bulgarian varieties, two options of electromagnetic treatment and application of organic and mineral fertilizers are tested. The results show a positive effect of the electromagnetic treatment, the mineral and organic fertilizations. An increase the values of plant height, spike length, number of grains in a spike, grain weight and weigh of 1000 grains in the range of 0.4-6.6% for Colorit variety, and 1.5-9.2% for Boomerang variety is founded. Similar, significant effect of the fertilization on the spike length and the number of grains in a spike for Colorit variety, and for Boomerang variety both on the plant height and the grain weigh is established. No significant influence of the electromagnetic treatment and complex effect of the factors is reported. Based on the tested factors significant, positive correlations between different components of the yield for both the varieties are observed.
