Where is samba wheat cultivated?
Emmer or Khapli wheat (Triticum dicoccumSchub L.) (2n = 2x = 14): It is believed to be developed from T. diccoides Koru (a wild form). It is grown in southern India, i.e., Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka. It is also grown in Spain, Italy, Germany and Russia. DDK 1000, DDK 1029 are important varieties of this group evolved in India and released for general cultivation during 1995-96 and 2006 respectively. It accounts 2% of the total wheat grown in India.
Are crops like corn and wheat grown on ranches?
Absolutely. Almost everyone involved in the agriculture business does a little of both. That's why there is so much confusion in the general public about what constitues a farm or a ranch. Strictly speaking, on a farm, you raise plants, on a ranch, you raise animals. But even on the smallest sized acreages, both are usually done. For example, on my ranch, I primarily raise cattle. but I also grow sunflowers and wheat. But my neighbor grows hay and cotton mostly, but he also has cows. So, when asked the question, "Are you a farmer or a rancher?". I usually say I do some of both, but I am mostly a rancher.
While the answer to the question itself is correct, the additional information ("Almost everyone involved in the agriculture business does a little of both.") is not. Though most beef cattle ranchers will have some crops (at least hay, if they're raising cattle), most crop farmers do not have livestock. Personally I object to the overly-general use of the word "ranch" to describe all livestock operations, since dairies, pig farms, chicken operations, fish farms, and other livestock operations on small acreages, are not, traditionally, referred to by that term. The term "ranch" is traditionally limited to beef cattle and sheep operations, which require large tracts of land. However, whether you call them ranches or not, pig farms, chicken operations, and fish farms seldom grow crops (though dairies will often grow some silage to feed the milk cows). When all types of agricultural operations are considered, it most definitely is not true that "Almost everyone" grows both crops and livestock, and I seriously doubt that it's even a majority. I also object to the statement "even on the smallest sized acreages, both are usually done". It is true that small farms often raise both crops and livestock. However, large farms generally do not. This statement implies that, if small farms do it, then surely the large farms do too. That is not true at all. Small farms are far more likely to grow crops and livestock than large farms, which tend to focus on one or the other. It is also worth noting that, among crop farms, there is a tendency, more pronounced in larger farms, to grow multiple crops, while among livestock operations, there is a tendency to raise only one species of livestock.

- The process of growing wheat begins with testing the mineral content of the soil and making sure it is viable for planting wheat.
- Once the land is prepared, the seeds are sown in the furrows created by the raking or use of the wheat drill. In all seasons, the use of some sort of insecticide is must.

How much fertiliser is needed for wheat?
This is a very complicated question. Many factors apply in how much fertilizer to apply to a field of any crop, wheat included. You must know the type of soil, how much nutrients are still remaining from the previous crop, and how much of a yield you expect to get from the crop. The best way to find this information is with a comprehensive soil test. See the related link below for a full chart which shows how much of all the main nutrients are needed for corn, soybeans, and wheat, both grain only and if the stover (residue) is removed. Even when you have all this information, the farmer has to decide at what levels of productivity his farm is running on the most economically efficient level.
How is puffed wheat made and can it be made at home?
Puffed wheat is made by heating the grains under pressure, which softens them. Then the pressure is suddenly released, which expands them. The process originally used a cannon! I don't believe there is any way to safely do this at home.

Why commercial exploitation of heterosis is not feasible in wheat?
For a plant to express heterosis, it must be a hybrid, or the offspring of two separate and genetically distinct parents. Producing corn hybrids, for example, is reasonably easy, since all that must be done to produce the seed is to plant both parents throughout the field, then remove all the tassels, or pollen-producing parts, of all the designated "female" plants. By then harvesting only the "female" plants, only true hybrid seed will be the product.
Wheat, though, is a very different matter, since the pollen-producing parts are on the same part of the plant with the ovaries. While physical removal of the pollen can be accomplished, it is extremely difficult, especially in any large quantity. It might be possible to produce "male-sterile" parents, such as are used in hybrid onion and carrot seed production, but the economic value of the wheat would not justify such expense.
