Production of Cereals

The warm season cereals are grown in tropical lowlands year round and in temperate climates during the frost free season. Rice is commonly grown in flooded fields, though some strains are grown on dry land. Other warm climate cereals, such as sorghum, are adapted to arid conditions.

Introduction to Cereal

Cereals such as rice, wheat and maize are members of the grass family and they are particularly important to humans because of their role as staple food crops in many areas of the world. Cereals are also used to produce animal feed, oils, starch, flour, sugar, syrup, processed foods, malt, alcoholic beverages, gluten and renewable energy. Grasses are believed to have evolved over 60-70 million years ago. The sequencing of the rice genome provided the first reference genome for the grasses.
