We discuss the production and decay rates of the lightest color-singlet technihadrons, spin-one {rho}{sub T} and {omega}{sub T} and spin-zero {pi}{sub T}, in a minimal {open_quotes}straw-man{close_quotes} model of low-scale technicolor. Because of walking technicolor enhancements of technipion masses, the decay channels {rho}{sub T}{r_arrow}{pi}{sub T}{pi}{sub T} and {omega}{sub T}{r_arrow}{pi}{sub T}{pi}{sub T}{pi}{sub T} are likely to be closed. The largest decay modes then are {rho}{sub T}{r_arrow}W{pi}{sub T},{gamma}{pi}{sub T} and {omega}{sub T}{r_arrow}{gamma}{pi}{sub T}, while {rho}{sub T}, {omega}{sub T}{r_arrow}l{sup +}l{sup {minus}} offer low-rate but very clear signatures. The revised {rho}{sub T} and {omega}{sub T} decay rates to {gamma}{pi}{sub T} presented here affect the technicolor searches planned for run II of the Fermilab Tevatron collider. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}
