1) Significance of wheat field:
Wheat is the most important food crop in the world, grown on millions of hectares. The yield of wheat in the field is usually low and varies with the climate, soil, and crop management practices. We show that
the product of wheat grown on stagnant home farms under improved growing conditions may be several hundred times greater than the yields in the field due to higher profits, multiple crops per year, and vertical layers. Home-grown wheat will use less land than wheat grown in the area, be more independent of the climate, have more water, be free from pests and diseases, and be less harmful to the environment. However, given the high energy costs of non-existent lighting and high costs, it is unlikely that there will be economic competition and current market prices.
2) Important of wheat and its growth:
Wheat is one of the essential plants in the world view, providing 20% of calories and protein in the human diet. Field wheat needs at least half a year to ripen, so only one crop is produced per year. Annual wheat yields range from <1 t / ha / y where water or nutrients are limited to> 10 t / ha / y in a cool, well-watered area (with high rainfall or irrigation), and especially for extended periods (8 to 11 mo) growing areas. When wheat is grown at a controlled indoor temperature at a constant temperature, the phenological growth of the plant accelerates. This was initially explored with the future plant growth plans placed in the atmosphere or the upper reaches of the Moon or Mars. For example,
Monje and Bugbee have shown that the growing season of wheat at 23 ° C lasts only 70 d from planting to maturity. With artificial lighting increasing the intensity and length of light beyond what can be caught from the sun in the field, a short indoor growth cycle has produced a mean grain yield of 14 ± 0.8 t / ha per crop by 11% grain moisture based on 1- m2 protected area. This yield is well compared to the other reported wheat yields from the field, but in reality, five such crops can be harvested in one year, resulting in the same indoor space producing 70 ± 4 t / ha / y grain (14 t / ha at 11)% grain moisture × five annual harvests). This annual harvest will be significantly higher than the current average wheat yield of 3.2 t / ha / y, as well as the country's highest uno9 t / ha / y wheat crop and the historic 2017 wheat harvest of 2017 -17 t / ha / y of a New Zealand farmer's field.
3) Packing of wheat field products:
Store wheat in a moisture-proof, food-grade pack, such as Mylar-type bags, polyethylene bags, plastic buckets, or # 10 tins. Be aware that rats can chew on plastic bags. Wheat stored in ~ 10 bags is easy to use, makes it easy to rotate, allows easy testing of grain, and separates grain from the cold, so contamination by one lot does not produce a lot of grain stored in contamination. Several bags can be placed inside a 5-liter plastic bucket. It is not necessary to keep wheat if there is no oxygen unless the insects are present.
4) Conditions to store wheat grain:
Storage at 40-60 ° F works best for most home-grown containers but usually does not work in most homes except the winter months. Cold temperatures below zero do not damage stored grain. Storage at temperatures above 60 ° F results in a rapid decrease in fertility (ability to germinate) but only a rapid loss of food value. The moisture content of more than 12% promotes mold growth and chemical degradation of all grains (barley, corn, sorghum, oats, rice, rye, sorghum, triticale, and wheat). Above 12% humidity can allow the grain to begin to breathe, causing chemical damage. Above 15% humidity will allow the mold to grow. When the moisture reaches 20%, some germs can start to grow. The result is a spoiled grain that is not ready to be used. Keep containers on the floor - especially under the concrete. Concrete can lick moisture from easily stored containers. Check the grain often for pest work. Treat pests (see below) or dispose of the affected lot.
5) Nutrition and allergies:
A regular supply of whole wheat is 16 grams. It is recommended that adults receive at least three servings (48g) per day. Wheat grains are high in protein, fiber, calcium, and iron. Wheat extraction can get a small amount of vitamins A, B, C, and E that are not present in whole grain wheat. Some health claims of peeled wheat remain unproven and unreliable based on science.
