Triticale (Ã Triticosecale), /trÉªtÉªËkeÉªliË/ is a hybrid of wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale) first bred in laboratories during the late 19th century in Scotland and Sweden.s a feed grain, triticale is already well established and of high economic importance. It has received attention as a potential energy crop, and research is currently being conducted on the use of the crop's biomass in bioethanol production.
A source of energy that is dependent on a primary source of energy for its power. Since the production of electricity, for example, is dependent on the use of fossil fuels, nuclear power, or renewable sources, it is referred to as a secondary energy source.
Lesson Summary. To review, nonrenewable resources are those resources found inside the earth that are in a fixed amount. They are being used at a faster rate than they can be replenished and, therefore, cannot be renewed. These resources include the fossil fuels, which consist of oil, natural gas and coal. Nuclear energy is also a nonrenewable resource that uses uranium as an energy source. Each of these nonrenewable resources is either pumped or mined from the subsurface of the earth.
