Maize

08_кукурузаABOUT THE PLANT: Maize is one of the most common and most important crops in the world. Basically it is used for grain and forage production. Also it is grown for food and industrial purposes such as producing of cereals and flour, producing of plastics, paper and so on.

It is a tall annual herb that reaches a height of 3 m (in exceptional cases up to 6 m or more), it has a well-developed root system. Basic air roots may form on the lower nodes of the stem. Stem is straight, up to 7 cm in diameter, there is no cavity inside (unlike most other cereals). The leaves are large, of line-lanceolate shape, it`s width is up to 10 cm and length – 1 m. Spikelets with stamens and pistiles flowers are united in different inflorescences or in separated parts of one inflorescences. Stamens flowers are united in two spikelets, one of them is almost sitting, second one is on the stem, spikelets are united in the top panicle. Spikelets of pistillate flowers are in rows with 6-16 flowers on a thick, fleshy axis of a stalk that goes in the middle part of the stem from leaf axils. Neb part is long, has shape of a nail, at the end it is fishtail.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MAIZE:
1. There is a version that maize is an alien plant or at least divine. The Maya tribe worshiped to a deity named Ah Moon.
2. It is interesting that maize cobs always contains an even number of flowers which later form an even number of seeds. There are usually 10-14 rows of maize, and the seeds – about a thousand!
3. Today more than five hundred products are made of maize, using not only grain but also the leaves, stem and cobs coverings. Food for animals, alcohol, paste, plastic, plaster, industrial filters and more are made from maize.
4. Maize can give almost all the nutrients needed for the human body, that is why some people can eat just maize and feel good.
5. Archaeologists insist that American Indians began to eat popmaize at least five thousand years ago. They mixed maize with sand and made fire around it. And then they caught exploding bowls, cleaned them and ate.
6. Maize should be boiled without salt, otherwise it will be very tough. That’s why you buy cabbage boiled maize, and then you add salt. Old maize should be boiled for at least 2 hours, and young one – just 15 minutes.
7. If the maizestarch add to water, you get a suspension. If you put this suspension in a large deep reservoir, you can run on it. In this case, your feet will not touch the bottom of a reservoir, if you run fast and repelled from the surface quickly.
8. Maize (or maize) is an ancient cultivated plant that exists in the world. During excavations in Mexico City maize pollen was found and its age is 55000 years!
