The absorption and scattering properties of dust show that there are many more smaller grains in the diffuse interstellar medium than in dense clouds; apparently in the dense medium the small grains have coagulated into larger ones, thereby lowering the ability of the dust to absorb radiation with short wavelengths (namely, ultraviolet, near 0.1 micrometre).
"Adding tungsten promotes the formation of more and smaller grains; as you add more mismatch to the system, you promote the formation of intercrystalline regions.
Too much fall nitrogen leads to excess fall growth, leaving the small grains more vulnerable to damage over the winter.
More and more small farms are offering grains and meat directly to customers, in addition to the usual fare (vegetables, fruit, herbs, etc).. Shopping locally may also give you the opportunity to speak to the farmer and find out how he or she feels about GMOs and whether or not they use them in their own operation.
Small grains are more reflective than larger ones.
Cash grain operators rotate corn annually with soybeans and small grains while more continuous and longer rotation corn is grown on the dairies for silage.
Witchweeds parasitize the roots of many hosts, including maize (corn), sorghum, sugarcane, rice, small grains, and more than 50 species in the grass and sedge families.

When Carlson learned that Iowa State's long-term study found that small grains require more labor and help spread that labor out beyond the compressed spring-fall schedule for corn and soy farming, it lit a spark in her.
The grain sizes have a profound effect on conversion, small grains were more active than large grains, but had almost no significant effect on the selectivity and product distributions.
