The gradual progression of climate change towards arid conditions is resulting in a widespread reduction in the yield of the predominant crop, namely wheat. Kazakhstan, as the largest agricultural nation in Central Asia, relies heavily on rain-fed cultivation, with 93% of its arable land under this practice. This study explores the feasibility of growing spring triticale, as an alternative to spring wheat, in the dryland regions of northern Kazakhstan. Over the period of 2018-2022, spring triticale was cultivated using both conventional and organic farming methods, employing various combinations of mineral and organic fertilizers. The yield of triticale was notably impacted by the prevailing weather conditions during the growth cycle. Optimal grain yields were achieved through both conventional and organic farming practices, particularly following fallow periods. These fallow periods not only resulted in higher yields but also maximized profitability. The suggested fertilizer strategies offer farmers a reliable means to consistently attain lucrative returns when cultivating triticale, irrespective of climatic variations.
