“…Wheat is one of the most cultivated crops in the world and is the principal source of energy, protein, fiber, vitamins, and phytochemicals to nearly 2.5 billion people (1,2). The global production of wheat forecasted for the year 2020 is 763 million tons (3).…”

Diversity in Grain, Flour, Amino Acid Composition, Protein Profiling, and Proportion of Total Flour Proteins of Different Wheat Cultivars of North India

et al. 2020

Wheat cultivars grown at three different locations in North India were assessed for their variability in kernel and flour characteristics. Protein and the wet and dry gluten contents of the flour varied significantly (p ≤ 0.05) from 9.32 to 12.60%, 23.46 to 43.04%, and from 8.28 to 15.00%, respectively. Wheat varieties exhibited moderate sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sedimentation and solvent retention values. Flour showed a significant (p ≤ 0.05) difference in the amino acid composition. Lysine, having the lowest chemical score, was the first most limiting amino acid in all wheat varieties. The variability of total flour proteins determined by SDS-PAGE showed polymorphism both in the number and intensity of bands, particularly in the molecular weight range of 35.1-42.8 kDa corresponding to the α-, β-, and γ-gliadin/low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) region. Pearson's correlation established between the various grain and flour parameters showed a significant correlation, which can result in better end product use.

“…The area as well production of wheat in Nepal has been distinctly increased after the introduction of semi-dwarf varieties from Mexico, which has contributed to the food supply (Pandey et al,2019). However, the average productivity of wheat is low as compared to neighboring countries India and China, 3.37 ton/ha and 5.48 ton/ha respectively (Sendhil, et al, 2019). China, India,Russia, USA, France are the Journal of Agriculture and Natural Resources (2021) 4(2): 238-245 ISSN: 2661-6270 (Print), ISSN: 2661-6289 (Online) DOI: https://doi.org/10.3126/janr.v4i2.33844 top five producers of wheat in the world (FAO, 2018).…”

Wheat is the third most important cereal crop of Nepal after rice and maize in terms of area. The study on profitability and marketing of wheat was conducted in the Rupandehi district in 2019. The household survey, focus group discussion, interview with the individual market actors such as input suppliers, producers, collectors, wholesalers, millers, and retailers in selected clusters was carried out. The study showed that the Benefit-Cost Ratio of wheat production (BCR) was 1.87. The marketing margins at three different levels of marketing farm-wholesale, wholesale-retail, and farm-retail were also analyzed. The farm-retail marketing margin was found highest (31.42%) and the farm-wholesale marketing margins were less (15.78%). The producers’ share in consumer price was 68.5% and the total gross margin was 56.36%. This showed if value-added activities are absent in the chain, the shorter chain can provide a higher margin to farmers by bypassing the intermediaries.

“…It is the main staple food in the world. The wheat crop covers nearly 14 percent of global area that produces about 99.70 million tonnes of grains with an average productivity of 3371 kg/ha, corresponding to 13.64 percent of world production (Ramadas et al, 2019). Wheat crop renders a significant share in consumption and production of food basket with 36 percent of total cereal grains in India.…”

A field experiment was conducted at the farm of Lovely Professional University, Phagwara during rabi season of 2018-19 and 2019-20 to assess the effects of sowing dates and weed management practices on growth of Phalaris minor in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) field under Punjab agro-climatic conditions. The investigations revealed that early sowing (first week of November) exerted a significant effect to decrease the density and dry matter of Phalaris minor. Among the different weed management treatments, application of (Sulfosulfuron + Metsulfuron Methyl 30 g ai/ha) recorded the lowest density and dry weight of weeds. Crop sown during first week of November, 2018-19 and 2019-20 recorded 75.50 and 71.55 % higher weed control efficiency.
