The influences of environmental factors on wheat quality were investigated for 3 years. The most important climatic factors on wheat quality were the average air temperature and precipitation during the ripening period of wheat. A soft wheat having good quality could be obtained from every location in Korea [R.] but a favorable hard wheat with high protein content could be cultivated only in the northern parts of Korea [R.] where the average air temperature during the ripening period of wheat was higher than 18.5 degrees centigrade per day and the precipitation for the period was less than 90 mm per month.

Studies on biological decomposition of wheat straw. 4. Incorporation of wheat straw and its microbial decomposers on yields of groundnut followed by wheat.

Wani, S P | Shinde, P A

The incorporation of undecomposed wheat straw in the soil together with the microorganisms for its decomposition increased the yield of a groundnut crop. An increase of 37% in yield was recorded when wheat straw was inoculated with Penicillium digitatum and C:P ratio was adjusted to 65. Inoculated treatments of a narrower C:P ratio gave a higher yield than wider C:P ratio treatments inoculated with the same cultures. N uptake by groundnut plants increased due to incorporation of straw + the microorganisms. The organic C and N content of the soil increased with all treatments except the control. The highest increase in soil organic C and N was with a treatment of wheat straw of 65 C:P ratio inoculated with Staphylotrichum coccosporum. The yield of wheat after the groundnut was significantly more with several treatments than in the control plots. The highest increase of 79% in grain yield of wheat was in the plots which had previously received wheat straw of 200 C:P ratio.

Studies on biological decomposition of wheat straw, 4: incorporation of wheat straw and its microbial decomposers on yields of groundnut followed by wheat

The incorporation of undecomposed wheat straw in the soil along with the micro-organisms favourably increased the yield of groundnut crop. An increase of 37 per cent in yield was recorded when wheat straw was inoculated with Penicillium digitatum and the C: P ratio was adjusted to 65. Inoculated treatments of narrower C: P ratio gave a higher yield than wider C: P ratio treatments inoculated with the same cultures. An increase in nitrogen uptake by groundnut plants was recorded due to incorporation of straw along with the micro-organisms in soil. The organic carbon and nitrogen content of the soil increased with all the treatments except control. The highest increase in organic carbon and nitrogen of the soil was observed with a treatment of wheat straw of 65 C: P ratio inoculated with S. coccosporum. The yield of wheat crop after groundnut was significantly more with several treatments than control plots. The highest increase of 79 per cent in grain yield of wheat was observed in the plots previously received with wheat straw of 200 C: P ratio.

Impact of farmer-owned wheat reserve on total wheat stocks and price

1980

Sharples, Jerry A. | Holland, F. D.

Extract: An economic model of ending stock demand is presented and estimated. The model is used to assess the impacts of the farmer-owned wheat reserve for 1977/78 and 1978/79. The results indicate that the farmer-owned wheat reserve provided substantial additional wheat demand and therefore increased wheat prices and producer revenue. The estimation results suggest that the procedures employed in this study may be appropriate for other grains and more complete analysis of the costs and benefits of the farmer-owned reserve.
