Triticale grains were sown at three different times October 15, November 15, and December 15. The current outcomes revealed that there is a significant difference between sowing dates on plant growth and yield attributes. The most effective in this regard was 15<sup>th</sup> October followed by 15<sup>th</sup> November and then 15<sup>th</sup> December. The greatest values of plant height (95.5 cm), flag leaf area (37.5 cm<sup>2</sup>), tiller number plant<sup>-1</sup> (9.5 tillers), spike length (18.5 cm), grain number spike<sup>-1</sup> and spike weight (3.8 g), were recorded within the 1<sup>st</sup> sowing date (15<sup>th</sup> October). Additionly, the lowest values of grains and biological yield was recorded under the 3<sup>rd</sup> sowing date (Dec 15). It is concluded from this study that the best date for triticale sowing falls within the period between late October and the middle of November.</p> ER -
