Cereal crops - Import export

These are cereal crops related to pseudograin, the seeds work fine as a human food and partly to animal feed. Seeds are readily eaten by songbirds. Buckwheat introduced into the culture more than 5 thousand years ago. Buckwheat is the most important honey plant for many regions of Russia with light sandy loam soil. The feed base of beekeeping and honey production there largely depends on the state of buckwheatgrowing. In favorable years, up to 80 kg of honey is obtained from 1 hectare of crops in areas with normal moisture (in arid regions, honey collection from buckwheat is extremely unstable). As a crosspollinated, mainly entomophilous plant (pollinated by insects), buckwheat requires at least 2–2.5 bee families per hectare, which also provides up to 70% of seed production. Buckwheat flowers give a lot of nectar and greenishyellow pollen.

Millet is one of the most ancient cultivated plants in Eurasia. Millet firstly began to be cultivated about 7000 years ago, and this is a valuable cereal crop. Grain (called millet) is used to make soups, cereals and other culinary products; is a valuable feed for poultry. The growing season is from 60 to 120 days. The plant is thermophilic and resistant to drought, as well as to salinization of the soil, but does not tolerate acidic soils. The yield of 1417 centners per hectare. Straw and green mass are used as livestock feed. In Russia, it is cultivated mainly in the arid regions of the Volga and Central Black Earth regions. Virtually gluten free, therefore, it can be recommended for people suffering from celiac disease, a congenital disease caused by protein intolerance to some cereal crops. Millet stimulates blood formation. Millet porridge is indicated for hypertension and diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Rye is a typical cereal grain crop. Rye kvass is made from grain, flour is produced that goes mainly to bread, starch is obtained, and it is also used as raw material for the production of alcohol. Rye is one of the most common (after mustard) and the most valuable green manure. It effectively suppresses weeds and plant diseases, surpassing other known green manures in this property due to its particularly rapid development. Rye has a strong structuring (loosening) effect on loamy soils, making them lighter and more permeable. In addition, it partially displaces various pests (especially nematodes), except for wireworm, which rye, on the contrary, attracts.

It is one of the first domesticated cereals, it was being cultivated at the very beginning of the Neolithic revolution, about 10,000 years ago. Wheat is widely used as a food, industrial and fodder crop. Flour, cereals, alcohol, oil are made from wheat grains. Their flour is used in baking bread, making pasta and confectionery. Cereals obtained from wheat semolina, couscous, bulgur, freek. Wheat also goes to feed farm animals and is included in some recipes for the preparation of a number of alcoholic beverages, such as beer and vodka, as well as whiskey.

Valuable droughtresistant food and fodder leguminous crop, food product. One of the oldest crops. Widely cultivated as a food and feed plant. For many Asian peoples, lentils are one of the most important sources of protein, able to replace the nutritional properties of bread, cereals and even meat.
