Overview

       Wheat is the general name of wheat plants, is a monocots, is a grass widely cultivated in the world, wheat caryopsis is one of the staple food of human beings, ground into flour can be made bread, steamed bread, biscuits, noodles and other foods; After fermentation, it can be made into beer, alcohol, liquor (such as vodka) , or biofuel.

The Height of temperature and air is affected by geographical latitude and altitude, that is, the higher latitude and altitude, the lower temperature, the earlier the sowing time.
