Planned Wheat Production

Growth and Production of Wheat

Ethanol production from mixtures of wheat straw and wheat meal

BACKGROUND Bioethanol can be produced from sugar-rich, starch-rich (first generation; 1G) or lignocellulosic (second generation; 2G) raw materials. Integration of 2G ethanol with 1G could facilitate the introduction of the 2G technology. The capital cost per ton of fuel produced would be diminished and better utilization of the biomass can be achieved. It would, furthermore, decrease the energy...

No-till Wheat Production in Oklahoma

Should I switch from conventional till to no-till wheat production? This is one of the most common questions asked by Oklahoma farmers, but it is also one of the most difficult to answer. There are several considerations when making this decision, and there is certainly no one-size-fits-all program for converting from conventional till to no-till wheat production. A few factors to be considered...

Nematodes Which Challenge Global Wheat Production

1) Effects of cereal cyst (Heterodera) and rootlesion (Pratylenchus) nematodes on wheat are difficult to identify and control. Symptoms are non-specific and easily confused with stress from nutrient deficiency, drought, or disease. 2) Multiple species of Heterodera and Pratylenchus are capable of damaging wheat. Identification of species is difficult and procedures based on comparative morpholo...
