บทคัดย่อ
This book starts with an introduction to the utilization, development and production of wheat, and a discussion of how the different grain characters influence the subsequent utilization of the harvested wheat. Effects of genotype and the crop environment (weather and soils) on grain quality are considered in separate chapters. Three chapters then deal with different aspects of crop management (establishment, crop nutrition and fertilizer use), and the effects on grain yield and quality of diseases, weeds and pests. The postharvest management of grain is also discussed, particularly grain drying, cleaning, storage, and damage by pests and diseases. The final two chapters consider different aspects of crop utilization, either as forage or in production of ethanol, starch and gluten. The book contains examples from many different countries, and the interactions between wheat production and the environment are emphasized.
