In rural farming, only one piece of pasture is needed. The prairie, known as the king of pastures, is a high-yielding, high-quality sheave herbs, which are grown for cattle, pigs, sheep, geese, fish, etc., which can significantly increase the growth rate of livestock, poultry, fish and the quality of meat, thus helping us to increase the productivity of farming。
The prairie is an alien species that was introduced from colombia into the country's sichuan plant in 1993 and is being planted in more than a dozen provinces of the country by the ministry of agriculture, which has been classified as the backbone for the management of the landslides, the ecological construction and the raising of livestock。
As a quality herb, there are seven distinctive features:
Acreage is the representative of “high-yielding” pastures, producing up to 35 tons per acre and growing one acre to feed five. Cow
The mackerel plant is particularly large and can grow to more than 5 metres, up to 6 metres, with a pole of up to 2-3cm thick and a maximum diameter of up to 4cm. It is not easy to roll back even when it comes to wind and is highly resistant to wind。
For a long period of more than 10 months, it is generally possible to harvest for feeding cattle and sheep when the grass grows to 1. 5 metres, and if it is for feeding pigs, geese and fish, it is generally possible to harvest 80 cm. The mackerel can be cut five to seven times a year, close to the ground at the time of harvesting, and can normally be harvested once in 30 to 40 days. Because of its high split capacity and its high rate of growth, it produces 20 to 30 tons per acre per year, up to 35 tons。
When the temperature is right and the water is fat, the grass can grow every year and every quarter, and can be cut eight to ten times。
Note: there are three main reasons for the particularly fast growth of the grass: first, the roots of the grass are very well developed, and their roots extend to 40 to 50 cm depths to absorb moisture and nutrients, even under unirrigated conditions; second, the stasis of the lower part of the grass produces gas roots that not only absorb oxygen but also the water in the air, and the plants grow more rapidly; and third, the grass is a typical “tricarbon plant”, which is much stronger than the normal luminous luminous rate, and can synthesize large quantities of organic matter at temperature and light intensity。
Note: royal bamboo and grass are nitrogen-free crops that can grow faster by cutting each acre with 10 kilograms of urea and with the best conditions to water rotting human and animal dung, which can significantly increase the rate of growth。
Ii. Long cycles of use of bamboo and grass, with the possibility of planting a continuous crop seven years
The prairie, which is a multi-year plant, can be grown for seven or eight consecutive years at a suitable temperature, saves the labour costs of year-to-year continuous cultivation and is very difficult to manage。
Except for grass before growing, weeding is not necessary at the later stages and there are few pests。
Iii. Royal bamboo grass is a high-protein herbs, highly nutritious, growing an acre of herb, equivalent to approximately 15 acres of corn
Herbs contain abundant proteins and sugar, in addition to amino acids, vitamins and minerals, and are fed to livestock not only to increase the rate of growth of livestock but also to improve the quality of meat. Feeding animals with mackerel grass can significantly reduce the use of feed and the cost of breeding。
The coarse protein content of acreage is 18. 5 per cent, measured at 30 tons per acre (85 per cent water and 4,500 kg dry grass) and 832 kg of coarse protein. In contrast, maize contains 8. 5 per cent of coarse protein, yielding about 600 kg per acre, with 51 kg per acre, and growing one acre of plume grass is equivalent to 15 acres of corn。
Iv. Herbs are highly adaptable to the environment and very easy to cultivate
The prairie is less stringent to the soil (low-lying water catchments cannot be cultivated), and the barren, arid, salinous, acidic, steep slopes can all grow normally. In order to maximize the production of pygmy grass, it is advisable to plant it on deep, soil-rich, adhesive soil。
For the extension of pastures, “temperature” is estimated to be the greatest influence factor. It is most appropriate to grow in the tropics or subtropical regions, with high temperatures increasing its growth rate, with temperatures ranging from 25 to 35°c and temperatures above 42°c or below 8°c, which are inhibited (which are significantly slower) and freeze to death when temperatures below 3°c are below zero. Thus, although it can grow in the north, it is not recommended to grow in the north because of the low temperature in the north, which must be slower than in the south and, more importantly, because it is likely to freeze to death in the north, which can only be cultivated annually。
Of course, in the north, grass can be grown in rotation with rye, and before the frost is frozen, the grass can be sowed immediately, so that the grass can last forever。
Caution: where winter temperatures are slightly lower, maize poles or lids can be protected on the ground, helping to keep the grass safe for the winter, and the success rate for the next year will increase significantly。
Five: i can breed infinity once
Although seeds can be grown, they are generally not produced. With 20 to 30 knots of gravitational growth, each section has a blisters that can both produce new plants and produce more than 96 per cent survival rates by burying these breathing rods in the soil。
Once cultivated, the grass can be harvested for seven years in a row, and in the last year it can be grown from the sprouted sprouts, and once successfully seeded, it can reproduce indefinitely and in the months of march to september each year。
When planted, keep the lumbering eye up and 45 degrees into the soil with a distance of about 50 cm。
Vi. High sugar content and good taste for bamboo grass
Herb blades and rods are juicy, with a total sugar content of 8. 3 per cent, tastes sweet and delicious, and animals, poultry and predatory fish are very fond of eating. They can be fed or processed into grass or stored in green。
Vii. Feeding of animals with bamboo and grass, no negative effects
The prairie is very low, the animal is digestible, and the water content of the prairie is lower than that of other pastures. Animals are not easily diluted, and they feed their livestock with prairie and do not have negative effects。
In conclusion, the prairie, which is easily planted, manageable, viable, productive, with long life cycles, nutritional value and taste, is a typical representative of high-quality pastures and is hailed as “the king of pastures”. Cultivation can significantly increase farming efficiency and reduce rearing costs, and winterization is the biggest obstacle to its widespread spread。
