The Influence Of Wheat

1288 Words6 Pages

INTRODUCTION

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) known as the “king of cereals” is the most important cereal crop and stands next to rice in India and meets about 61% of the protein requirement of the India. Wheat production was 90.8 mt which is about 35 percent of cereal food production of country (Department of agriculture and cooperation, 2014-15) and area under wheat cultivation was 31.5 mha which is 24 percent of total area under food grains (Majumdar et al., 2013). India’s share in global wheat production was recorded at 13.2 percent in the year 2014-15 (United States Department of Agriculture Database). Wheat requirements …show more content…

The activity of PGRs depends on the rate of active ingredient, growth stage of plants and environmental conditions, especially temperature. Stem shortening plant growth regulators (PGR's) such as Chlormequat and ethephon are often used to limit lodging in wheat (Rajala et al., 2000), hence allowing cultivation of lodging susceptible, adapted, high yielding cultivars under intense input use. Control of plant growth, such as plant or culm height, can be achieved by using plant growth regulators (PGRs).

Cox and Otis, 1989 reported that lodging can still be a major problem for higher productivity of wheat, and the need for the use of plant growth regulators to control lodging is highly acceptable. In this context the potential use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and related compounds has been the subject of some …show more content…

This research was therefore conducted to determine how different fertilizers regimes, different growth regulators effect the lodging incidence and subsequent yield expression, to understand better interactive effect of these factors to provide better alternative management practices to farmers facing chronic problem of crop lodging .

Hence, keeping above facts in view, present study “Studies on Agro-Chemicals for Lodging Management in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)’’ is planned with the following objectives: To asses the lodging losses due to varying fertilizer application and performance of various agro-chemicals on recovery of lodged wheat. To investigate the effects of various chemicals on growth, quality and economics of wheat. To assess the nutrient uptake. To determine the recovery ability of wheat after

    During the Civil War from 1861 to 1865 food was scarce in the South. In the time of war rations had to be transported long distances, so the Commissary Departments relied on foods that could be preserved easily. Wheat flour was not one of these easily preserved food and therefore was quite scarce in the South. Due to the lack of wheat flour many soldiers baked bread from any available ingredients. One of these ingredients was white cornmeal, which the soldiers used to make shortbread.

    To begin, one must test for monosaccharides. Glucose is necessary, and is needed to be placed into a test tube at a quantity of 5 mL. 3 mL of Benedict’s solution is then added. The test tube is then placed in a beaker of boiling water for five minutes or until the color changes. If the color changes, then it is known that monosaccharides are present in the solution. Next, one will test for starches.

  • Radish Plant Experiment

    The plants with 200 ml topsoil were projected to have the highest average height according to the original hypothesis of increased plant growth due to an increase on the amount of topsoil added. Moreover, the original hypothesis was refuted as the plants with no topsoil in the control had a higher average height than the plants with 25 ml topsoil. The mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants with 25 ml topsoil indicated possible deficiencies in phosphorus which might have slowed their growth. Moreover, the mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants in both 100 ml and 200 ml topsoil also indicated a possible phosphorus deficiency which may have resulted in the slower growth of the plants despite having greater amounts of topsoil. The experimental results might have skewed due to the over fertilization of the radish seeds which might have led to excess nutrient levels which are unsuitable for radish plants as they require little to no fertilization for growth (Chase, 2018).

    Introduction: In this task I will be researching the effect that acid rain has on the rate of plant growth. Acid rain is any type of precipitation with a high pH, with high levels of nitric acids. The reason why I had chosen this topic was because acid rain seems to have a great effect on the effect of plant growth, and plants play a very important role in our ecosystem. Acid rain is a major problem in our environment when we are not able to neutralize the acidity.

In part 2, we had to test the enzyme activity that is in the was involved in the potato, so we can also determine the ideal soil pH conditions for the potato plant growth. In part 3, we were able to test absorb the leaf pigment at various wavelengths that determine the optimum light absorption conditions and was able to make recommendations for the light conditions that would be used un greenhouses. The goal of the first project is to determine the ideal soil salt for potato roots and we can relate this to the project is to find out if Solution A or Solution B has more solute in it. The goal of this project is to determine the meaning of Osmosis.

    Increased malnutrition is caused by poor diversification of diets such as relying too much on starchy staples. Thus, the consumption of a variety of foods is important for positive health. Malnutrition can be reduced by the consumption of diets having animal sources, vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables as well as nutrient-rich legumes (Arimond and Ruel, 2004; Thompson and Amoroso, 2011). According to the FAO, IFAD and WFP, (2015) about 800 million people do not have sufficient access to calories. A low intake of vitamins and minerals causes about 2 billion people all over the world to suffer from micronutrient malnutrition (IFPRI, 2014).
