Wheat
Wheat is the major cereal in India after rice Worlds most favored staple food and one of the important sources of carbohydrates with nutritional importance. Value-added products
Breads, Rolls (Hamburgers, muffins), Soft Cakes, Pies, Cookies, Flour etc
More demand and World trade in wheat is greater than for all other crops combined.
Technologies
Row crop technology Intercrop practice Relay Cropping
wheat production gains have fallen behind corn and soybeans in recent years Four to Five rows of wheat grown in two rows of sugarcane is a popular practice now a days A practice in which the second crop is started amidst the first crop before it has been harvested. Soybeans and Wheat The Furrow Irrigated Raised Bed -planting System is a method where cultivation of crops is done on raised beds.

Zero Tillage
In zero-tillage, without any field preparation, Wheat is sown directly after the harvest of Rice using a specially designed seed -cum -fertilizer drill. Under timely sown conditions, zero tillage can save field preparation costs of around Rs.2,000 - 2,500/- per hectare. Designed by Monsanto engineers specifically for the wheat breeding team to develop better-yielding wheat varieties. Wheat chipper is a proprietary machine that shaves a tiny tissue sample off a wheat seed to analyze the seeds genetics..

Profit Maximization
Multiple Cropping /Relay Cropping
Producing a second crop allows for the increased use of machinery, labor, and land during the year and a lowering of fixed cost on a per-acre basis, resulting in a more profitable farming operation.
Cotton
Cotton is one of the most important commercial crops playing a key role in Indian agriculture and economics. It provides employment to millions of people, earning valuable foreign exchange and improving the economy of farmers. Cotton is one of the finest natural fibers available for man for his clothing. Because of this cotton trade has developed into a big industry. Other Utilization
Home funishings Medical Supplies fishnets, coffee filters, tents, gunpowder, cotton paper
Technologies
Row Cropping Intercropping
short duration pulse crops such as green gram, black gram, cowpea, soybean etc in 1:2 ratio. In black soils, soybean, black gram and green gram are more suitable. In light soils green gram and cowpea can be used. In Adilabad, Guntur and Prakasam districts Intercropping of cotton with Pigeonpea / Sorghum is followed. Cotton Picker
Automate harvesting and this reduces harvest time and maximizes efficiency.
