[edit] Triticale

The recently-added statement "Triticale contains more usable protein than does either rye or wheat" could use a little refinement, mainly because the definition of "usable" depends on the application. In feeding swine, for example, the high levels of the amino acid lysine found in most triticale cultivars is a big advantage. In making leavened breads, however, the gluten in wheat protein is far superior to that of triticale. I would also suggest moving the original statement and any additions from agronomy to triticale. --Belgrano 22:28, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge

This should not be merged because the two disciplines in question, do not appear to be one in the same.Meissmart 23:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I removed the tags and merged agronomics with agricultural economics. Carcharoth 16:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
