Wheat is a type of
grass grown all over the world
for its highly nutritious and
useful grain. It is one of the
top three most produced crops in
the world, along with corn and
rice.
Wheat has been
cultivated for over 10,000 years
and probably originates in the
Fertile Crescent, along with
other staple crops. A wide range
of
wheat products are
made by humans, including most
famously flour, which is made
from the grain itself.
Today,
wheat is a grass
that grows between two and four
feet (½ to 1 ¼ meters) tall. The
physical appearance of the grain
is familiar to most consumers,
with a long stalk that
terminates in a tightly formed
cluster of plump kernels
enclosed by a beard of bristly
spikes.
Wheat is an
annual, which means that at the
end of each year, fields must be
plowed and prepared again to
grow the grass.
Wheat is very important food
Wheat
is the dominant grain of world
commerce. It is easily
transported and stored and it is
used to produce a large variety
of foods that include many kinds
and types of breads, cakes,
noodles, crackers, breakfast
foods, biscuits, cookies, and
confectionary items.
Wheat is the staple food of
millions of people. It is also
an important part of the daily
diet of many millions more. Only
rice challenges wheat for the
title of most important food
grain in the world.
World wheat production
increased at a rate of 3.3
percent per year between
1949 and 1978 .Increases at
the start of this period
were due to both an
expansion of production area
and increased per acre
yields. However, starting in
the 1960's, increased yields
from improved varieties and
a greatly expanded use of
irrigation, pesticides, and
fertilizers took on greater
importance in sustaining the
high rate of growth in world
wheat production. In fact,
the impact of new production
technologies was so
significant that their
widespread adoption during
this period became known as
the "green revolution".
The
Varieties of Wheat
The number of wheat varieties
exceeds any other seed-bearing
plant. There are two general
types of wheat -- Winter and
Spring -- reflecting the time of
year the seed is planted.
Wheat grows in a variety of
climatesand soil.
Suitable weather and proper soil
are needed to produce a healthy
wheat crop. Wheat farmers must
use high-quality seed that is
free from disease to produce
high yields. Farmers also must
plant and harvest the wheat at the
correct time. They must protect
the growing crop from damage
caused by disease and pests.
Wheat likes to be grown in
fairly dry and mild climates.
Weather conditions influence
when wheat is planted. Winter
wheat is planted from September
to November. It is planted a few
inches deep in narrow channels
called furrows. Snow fills the
furrows and protects the plants
from the cold. Spring wheat is
planted from early March to
mid-April. It has a shorter
growing period than winter
wheat.
