Excerpt from Tri-Local Experiments on the Influence of Environment on the Composition of Wheat: On the Influence of Chief of Bureau, Composition of Wheat
The variation in the composition of plants of the same species when grown under different conditions has been the subject of much study during the past half century. The term environment as here used includes all the factors of any locality which might tend to influence the growth of the plants, as, for instance, climatic conditions, soil, time of planting and harvesting, method of cultivation and manuring, previous crop and rotation, thickness of seeding, etc. By climatic conditions rain, sunshine, humidity of the atmosphere, temperature, winds, elevation, etc., are meant.
The experiments here recorded were begun in 1905 with the collaboration of the Office of Grain Investigations of the Bureau of Plant Industry, and consisted in growing wheat from the same original seed continuously in each of the three spices of a triangle, for example, (1) in Kansas, Texas, and California, (2) in South Dakota, Kansas and California. The crop from each apex was then sent to the other two stations and there grown under the same conditions as the continuously grown seed. There were thus three plots at each apex, or station, all from the same original seed; one plot grown continuously at that point, the seed of the other two plots coming from the other points of the triangle. By this interchange of seed it was possible to determine the influence of climate and soil and of the kind of seed on the composition of the crop.
Previous Environment Experiments.
Experiments to test the influence of environment on the composition of cereals were started some twenty or more years ago by Clifford Richardson, under the direction of H.W. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry. These consisted in growing the same varieties of wheat, etc., in different localities, and Richardson concluded from the data obtained that the soil exerted the greatest influence on the composition, that is, that wheat grown in Colorado would have approximately a constant percentage of gluten.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the influence of contrasting environments on the composition of wheat. The author, a renowned expert in agricultural chemistry, conducted a series of experiments growing the same wheat variety in three diverse locations: California, Kansas, and South Dakota. The results challenged the long-held belief that soil played a dominant role in determining a crop's composition. Instead, the author found that climate exerts a far greater influence, with factors such as rainfall, temperature, and sunshine altering the protein content, grain size, and overall appearance of the wheat. This discovery has significant implications for agriculture, suggesting that farmers should focus on selecting crops that are well-suited to their local climate, rather than relying on imported seeds from distant regions with different growing conditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332285785_0
