Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wheat, which is the second most important cereal crop in the world, is being grown in a wide range of climates over an area of about 228 945 thou sand ha with a production of about 535 842 MT in the world. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ) accounts for 80% of the wheat consumption, howe ver, it is attacked by a large number of pests and pathogens; rusts and smuts cause enormous damage to the crop and reduce the yield drastically in some areas. The major breeding objectives for wheat include grain yield, earliness, resistance to lodging and diseases, spikelet fertility, cold tolerance, leaf duration and net assimilation rate, fertilizer utilization, coleoptile length, nutritional value, organoleptic qualities, and the improvement of charac ters such as color and milling yield. The breeding of wheat by traditional methods has been practiced for centuries, however, it has only now come to a stage where these methods are insufficient to make any further breakthrough or to cope with the world's demand. Although numerous varieties are released every year around the world, they do not last long, and long-term objectives cannot be realized unless more genetic variability is generated. Moreover, the intro duction of exotic genetic stocks and their cultivation over large areas results in the depletion and loss of the native germplasm pool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including recipes for baking with Einkorn Wheat is the most widely grown crop on our planet, yet industrial breeders have transformed this ancient staff of life into a commodity of yield and profit--witness the increase in gluten intolerance and 'wheat belly'. Modern wheat depends on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that damage our health, land, water, and environment. Fortunately, heritage 'landrace' wheats that evolved over millennia in the organic fields of traditional farms do not need bio-chemical intervention to yield bountifully, are gluten-safe, have rich flavor and high nutrition. Yet the robust, majestic wheats that nourished our ancestors are on the verge of extinction. In Restoring Heritage Grains, author Eli Rogosa of the Heritage Grain Conservancy, invites readers to restore forgotten wheats such as delicious gluten-safe einkorn that nourished the first Neolithic farmers, emmer--the grain of ancient Israel, Egypt, and Rome that is perfect for pasta and flatbreads, rare durums that are drought-tolerant and high in protein, and many more little known wheat species, each of which have a lineage intertwined with the human species and that taste better than any modern wheat. Restoring Heritage Grains combines the history of grain growing and society, in-depth practical advice on landrace wheat husbandry, wheat folk traditions and mythology, and guidelines for the Neolithic diet with traditional recipes for rustic bread, pastry and beer. Discover the ancient grains that may be one of the best solutions to hunger today, and provide resilience for our future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of a staple grain we often take for granted, exploring how wheat went from wild grass to a world-shaping crop. At breakfast tables and bakeries, we take for granted a grain that has made human civilization possible, a cereal whose humble origins belie its world-shaping power: wheat. Amber Waves tells the story of a group of grass species that first grew in scattered stands in the foothills of the Middle East until our ancestors discovered their value as a source of food. Over thousands of years, we moved their seeds to all but the polar regions of Earth, slowly cultivating what we now know as wheat, and in the process creating a world of cuisines that uses wheat seeds as a staple food. Wheat spread across the globe, but as ecologist Catherine Zabinski shows us, a biography of wheat is not only the story of how plants ensure their own success: from the earliest bread to the most mouthwatering pasta, it is also a story of human ingenuity in producing enough food for ourselves and our communities. Since the first harvest of the ancient grain, we have perfected our farming systems to grow massive quantities of food, producing one of our species’ global mega crops—but at a great cost to ecological systems. And despite our vast capacity to grow food, we face problems with undernourishment both close to home and around the world. Weaving together history, evolution, and ecology, Zabinski’s tale explores much more than the wild roots and rise of a now-ubiquitous grain: it illuminates our complex relationship with our crops, both how we have transformed the plant species we use as food, and how our society—our culture—has changed in response to the need to secure food sources. From the origins of agriculture to gluten sensitivities, from our first selection of the largest seeds from wheat’s wild progenitors to the sequencing of the wheat genome and genetic engineering, Amber Waves sheds new light on how we grow the food that sustains so much human life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trends in Wheat and Bread Making provides a comprehensive look at the state-of-the-art in bread making from ingredient to shelf-life, with a focus on the impact of processing on the nutritional value and consumer acceptability of this global staple. The book also includes chapters on new breads and bakery products fortified with plant-processing-by-products and/or natural antioxidants, and explores efforts to improve biotechnological processes and fermentation for bread making. It is an excellent resource for researchers, industry professionals and enterprises hoping to produce enhanced bread products through processing-related nutritional and quality improvements. Addresses gluten free products, organic farming and production techniques, enzymatic and biotechnological techniques, fortification of breads with plant by-products, and phenol-rich substrates Fills the gap in current resources, focusing on the application of new technologies for processing practices Provides a guide to industrial and commercialized applications of innovative breadmaking

Book excerpt: From CHAPTER I. WHEAT CULTURE. HOW TO INCREASE THE YIELD.It is a well-known fact that the average yield of wheat in this country is absurdly small, being only about fourteen bushels per acre - not half what it should and might be in so new a country - and that the profits of growing it are correspondingly light. All this we have long noticed with regret, and that feeling has stimulated us to prepare this little work, hoping that the facts presented in it may, to some extent, aid the growers to produce better results, to secure larger yields, and thereby larger profits.Whatever a man believes lie can do, if it be proper and he desires to do it, he is very likely to do. It is to the interest of wheat growers to greatly increase their yield per acre, to even double the prevailing average yield, and thereby double their profits. We are well satisfied that this can be done, and it is our desire and aim to convince them that they can easily do it; then, with that faith, they will be sure to accomplish the result.We believe that fuller knowledge and more thought among farmers generally will surely lead to higher achievements in their important work; that increased knowledge of the subject will secure increased yield, and also, as a consequence, afford enlarged profits for their operations.THE FARMER'S CAPITAL.Each acre of land, with its necessary appurtenances, constitutes the farmer's fixed capital. The more he can produce from each acre, without exhausting his soil, the greater will be his interest on the investment. Labor, tools, seed, teams, and fertilizers, are the temporary capital, and this capital is continually consumed and worn out, requiring as continually to be replenished.Exhausting or robbing the soil from year to year by improvident management, is equivalent to a man's expending or reducing his capital-the principal-instead of only the interest or income. All business men know this to be a ruinous performance, which will, sooner or later, result in bankruptcy.If a farmer has ten acres of land it is so much invested capital, and if by judicious culture he obtains from it three hundred bushels of wheat each year, instead of only one hundred and fifty bushels, it is so much increased income for the capital invested, which is the value of the ten acres - say one hundred dollars per acre, making a capital of one thousand dollars....
