History of Oats
According to Vavilov's theory, Oat is a type of weed plant in Southwest Asia, it became a wild type, and later, it became an agricultural oat. Humans started cultivating oats compared to wheat and barley. It is mentioned in the book of the famous author Italo Plinia that it is planted in the whole world, especially in the countries that are located in the northern half of the world, and the amount of its annual seed yield is 50 million tons. Its average grain yield is estimated from 2.5-3.4 tons per hectare, but its maximum yield reaches 5.7 tons per hectare. Oats seed protein has many non-exchangeable amino acids, such as lysine, arginine, tryptophan, and other proteins and fats. Oats is present in flour and is easily digested.
The importance and extension of Oats
Oat is one of the most important food grains and it is also known as gray grain. In addition, Oat seeds are also used in the beer industry and animal feed. In Central Asia, Oat is cultivated in the vicinity of livestock farms. It is used as green animal food
In addition to the use of grain, its straw is used to make various types of paper and cardboard, and it is also used on the surface of animal stables to prevent moisture. In Russia, before the revolution, a quarter of all grain crops were grown in the month of July, and from the point of view of autumn cultivation was the second most resistant after wheat. In the last 50 years, the area under wheat cultivation has doubled and caused the cultivation of autumn to decrease by 35% and the total yield to decrease by 25%, but the demand for seeds and Oat flour is still abundant, Oat is tasty and more useful than wheat bread. In the Russian Federative Republic of Soviet Socialist Republics, Oat is considered an old and traditional agriculture. It is mainly 3-32 million hectares in south Germany, 1.5 million hectares, and 1.3 million hectares in Argentina. Oat is cultivated in the United States of America - Spain - and Turkey, up to 400 thousand hectares of land are cultivated with Oat, and in Poland - Canada - Czechoslovakia, Oat is also sown in large quantities in other countries.
Economic Importance of Oat
Oat is one of the most important grains, and in areas where the possibility of wheat seeds is limited, although Oat yields less than wheat, and Oat also has less protein than wheat, but its lysine content is half as much as wheat. Oat seed has 12.2% protein and more than that. Oat seed, in addition to being used for food, it is also used as animal fodder and in industry, it is also used to make alcohol and beer. It is fast, so it controls the growth of weeds, after collecting oats, you can plant millet and potatoes in that field.
