  • Identification of Cereal Remains from Archaeological Sites 2Nd Edition 2006
    Identification of cereal remains from archaeological sites 2nd edition 2006 Spikelet fork of the “new glume wheat” (Jones et al. 2000) Stefanie JACOMET and collaborators Archaeobotany Lab IPAS, Basel University English translation partly by James Greig CEREALS: CEREALIA Fam. Poaceae /Gramineae (Grasses) Systematics and Taxonomy All cereal species belong botanically (taxonomically) to the large family of the Gramineae (Poaceae). This is one of the largest Angiosperm families with >10 000 different species. In the following the systematics for some of the most imporant taxa is shown: class: Monocotyledoneae order: Poales familiy: Poaceae (= Gramineae) (Süssgräser) subfamily: Pooideae Tribus: Triticeae Subtribus: Triticinae genera: Triticum (Weizen, wheat); Aegilops ; Hordeum (Gerste; barley); Elymus; Hordelymus; Agropyron; Secale (Roggen, rye) Note : Avena and the millets belong to other Tribus. The identification of prehistoric cereal remains assumes understanding of different subject areas in botany. These are mainly morphology and anatomy, but also phylogeny and evolution (and today, also genetics). Since most of the cereal species are treated as domesticated plants, many different forms such as subspecies, varieties, and forms appear inside the genus and species (see table below). In domesticates the taxonomical category of variety is also called “sort” (lat. cultivar, abbreviated: cv.). This refers to a variety which evolved through breeding. Cultivar is the lowest taxonomic rank in the domesticated plants. Occasionally, cultivars are also called races: e.g. landraces evolved through genetic isolation, under local environmental conditions whereas „high-breed-races“ were breed by strong selection of humans. Anyhow: The morphological delimitation of cultivars is difficult, sometimes even impossible. It needs great experience and very detailed morphological knowledge.

  • Black Chaff of Wheat Stephen N
    ® ® University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension, Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources Know how. Know now. G1672 (Revised December 2012) Black Chaff of Wheat Stephen N. Wegulo, Extension Plant Pathologist widely distributed bacterial disease of small grains and can Cause, symptoms, disease cycle, and management cause yield losses of up to 40 percent. of black chaff of wheat. Cause and Symptoms Black chaff is a bacterial disease of wheat common in Black chaff is caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas irrigated fields or in areas with abundant rainfall during the campestris pathovar (pv.) undulosa. The disease derives its growing season. It is also known as bacterial stripe or bacte- name from the darkened glumes of infected plants (Figure rial leaf streak. The disease also occurs on barley, oats, rye, 1A). This symptom is similar to that caused by genetic triticale, and many grasses. It is the most important and most melanism (darkening of tissue) and glume blotch incited by Stagonospora nodorum. Black chaff can be distinguished from other diseases by the appearance of cream to yellow bacterial ooze in the form of slime or viscous droplets produced on infected plant parts during wet or humid weather. This ooze appears light colored and scale-like when dry. Bands of necrotic and healthy tissue on awns (“barber’s pole” appearance) are indicative of black chaff. A dark brown to purple discoloration may appear on the stem below the head and above the flag leaf (Figure 1B). On leaves, symptoms start as small water-soaked spots or streaks that turn brown after a few days.

  • Wheat Cleaning Basics
    Goal in Wheat Cleaning • Remove Non-Wheat Material – Metal – Foreign Material (Debris) – Stones – Grains other than wheat (soybean, corn, sorghum,… etc. – Weed Seeds • Remove Wheat not-fit for Milling – Shrunken & Broken – Diseased & Damaged Non-Wheat Material Wheat not-fit for Milling Shrunken/Shriveled Diseased- Scab Insect Damaged Black Tip (color defect) Ergot Heat Damaged Physical Properties of Common Impurities • Impurities are separated from wheat based physical differences which aid their removal. • Magnetic properties • Flow in air properties • Size and shape • Density • Friability (easily broken by impact) • Surface characteristics (color and texture) Wheat Cleaning System Cleaning System Design Principle 1. Eliminate impurities that pose a significant health and safety risk first. – Ferrous Metal (grain dust explosion hazard). – Grain Dust (explosion risk, health/safety risk). 2. Eliminate impurities which impact downstream machine efficiency. – Light chaff and dust (bulky, poor flow characteristics, decreases screening efficiency). Generic Cleaning Flow Principle Magnetic Separation Dust/chaff removal Size- coarse tolerance Larger/Smaller Size- fine tolerance Density Length Width Shape Friction/Abrasion Impact Friability Color/ Surface Characteristics Pre-Cleaning for Wheat Storage Benefits of Pre-Cleaning • Decrease infestation risk. • Improve sanitation and dust control. • Decrease microbial growth. • Improves flow of grain through the bin. • Increases storage life of grain. Generic Cleaning Flow Principle Grain Dust Explosion Risk. Magnetic Separation Explosion risk, sanitation, health and safety risk. Dust/chaff Removal Greatly improves equipment efficiency. Least similar to wheat based on size. Easy to remove. Larger/Smaller than wheat Reduces bulk. Lighter than wheat. Stones and mud removal. Density High and low density separation. Magnetic Separator • Tramp Iron or Tramp metal is metal brought in with grain at recieveing.

  • ELP and ESP Station Handout Grist Mill
    ELP and ESP Station Handout Grist Mill INTRODUCTION The goal of this handout is to prepare you to lead the Grist Mill station during your Environmental Living Program or Environmental Studies Program. At the Grist Mill station, your students will experience firsthand what it was like to grind wheat into flour using a hand- powered grist mill. This station will allow you and your students to explore the history, science, language, and math related to agriculture. HISTORY The Fort’s primary crop was wheat and there were a number of fields near the Fort, so the grist mill had an important place at Sutter’s Fort. The mill was likely in operation both day and night, and prior to the establishment of the Fort, the nearest grist mill was about 65 miles away in Sonoma. It was not until 1846, when a grist mill was opened, near present day Sloughhouse, that there was another local source for flour. The mill and agriculture were central to John Sutter’s business plan for the Fort. He hoped create a thriving agricultural business. However, to be successful in agriculture, Sutter needed countless laborers. The large majority of those laborers were local California Indians. Early visitors to the Fort, such as the French diplomat and dignitary Comte de Mofras, wrote glowingly about the limitless potential for agriculture at New Helvetia. The rich soil and the flat grasslands were an agricultural paradise to the trained eye. However, potential does not always translate into production; Sutter and the large California Indian workforce had many obstacles to overcome.

At a global scale, chaff may have great potential to be used as a bioenergy source. However, chaff is not usually collected, and its loss can consist of up to one-fifth of the residual biomass harvestable. In the present work, a spreader able to manage the chaff (either spreading [SPR] on the soil aside to the straw swath or admixed [ADM] with the straw) at varying threshing conditions (with either 1 or 2 threshing rotors [1R and 2R, respectively] in the combine, which affects the mean length of the straw pieces). The fractions of the biomass available in field (grain, chaff, straw, and stubble) were measured, along with the performances of both grain harvesting and baling operations.

  • Agriculture: a Glossary of Terms, Programs, and Laws, 2005 Edition
    Agriculture: A Glossary of Terms, Programs, and Laws, 2005 Edition Updated June 16, 2005 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov 97-905 Agriculture: A Glossary of Terms, Programs, and Laws, 2005 Edition Summary The complexities of federal farm and food programs have generated a unique vocabulary. Common understanding of these terms (new and old) is important to those involved in policymaking in this area. For this reason, the House Agriculture Committee requested that CRS prepare a glossary of agriculture and related terms (e.g., food programs, conservation, forestry, environmental protection, etc.). Besides defining terms and phrases with specialized meanings for agriculture, the glossary also identifies acronyms, abbreviations, agencies, programs, and laws related to agriculture that are of particular interest to the staff and Members of Congress. CRS is releasing it for general congressional use with the permission of the Committee. The approximately 2,500 entries in this glossary were selected in large part on the basis of Committee instructions and the informed judgment of numerous CRS experts. Time and resource constraints influenced how much and what was included. Many of the glossary explanations have been drawn from other published sources, including previous CRS glossaries, those published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other federal agencies, and glossaries contained in the publications of various organizations, universities, and authors. In collecting these definitions, the compilers discovered that many terms have diverse specialized meanings in different professional settings. In this glossary, the definitions or explanations have been written to reflect their relevance to agriculture and recent changes in farm and food policies.

Pohl** * 4135 Ladyaao,Bangkhen, Bangkok 10900, Thailand. ** Dept. ofBotany, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011, U.S.A. (Rec. 4-11-1991. Acep.8-VI1I-1991) Abstrad: Lilhachne pauciflora ánd L. humilis were studied anatomically, rnorphologically and cytologically. They are typical hemaceous bambusoid grasses of the tribe Ol yreae, occurring in forested tropical habitats in Central America. Both species are rnonoecious, with both sexes in the same axillary inflorescence in L. pauciflora or in sepa­ rate lateral pistillate inflorescences and terminal starninate panicles in L. humilis. Starninate spikelets lack glurnes and have three truncale lodicules. Pistillate spikelels have subequal long glurnes and a single bonytruncate fmit case. Leaf anatomy is typically bambusoid with a papillate epidermis bearing acute bicellular rnicrohairs of two equal cells, sili­ ceous cells, and rhombic stomala. In transection, blades have fusoid cells and chlorenchyrna with arm cells. Chromosome number in L. pauciflora is n = 11. Key words: Lithachne, anatomy, morphology, cytology. Lithachne is a small genus of herbaceous Hate spikelets occur in the lateral infloresen­ bambusoid grasses of the American tropics, ces, and staminate spikelets are borne in a presentIy with four known species. This study small terminal panicle. An outstanding featu­ is based upon the two Central American spe­ re of this genus is the obtriangular truncate la­ cies. Lithachne pauciflora (Sw.)Beauv. is a wi­ terally compressed bony fruits (lemma and despread species found in forests from sea level palea), which give the genus its name, signif­ to about 1000 m elevation, from Mexico to ying "stone chaff" .

    081 Feeding BY NICKY BOWE HOLD THE SUGAR! “Pastures best for horses are By removing horses from herds where they had to compete native pastures such as kangaroo grass and wallaby grass, wheat grass, spear grass, windmill grass them into single accommodation with shelter and ample and weeping grass.” food and turned them into pampered pets! BACK TO NATURE Many horse owners face the challenge of living where the pasture is too rich for horses. This can lead to any number of problems, especially in the hooves, ranging from tenderness under saddle to mechanical breakdown with white line separation or seedy toe, and serious pathologies such as laminitis. These conditions are not normal for horses and it is important to revisit their housing to prevent such manmade constantly to keep their system healthy. This is when to introduce loop paddocks or laneways to limit the intake of unsuitable pasture and keep horses moving as they should. in Yarck, Victoria, we have loop paddocks where we simply drive the entire loop and feed pasture hay twice a day, spreading it around to In the wild, horses were adapted to sparse, rugged rangelands encourage horses to move while they forage. e all need a reminder of what horses are In dry lot situations when there is little or no Wdesigned to eat. If we go back to where ground cover for grazing, slow feeder nets or they originated, they were adapted to sparse, bins can be used, containing mixed species of non-improved pasture hay with a Non-Structural including grasses and browse (i.e.
