Russian fodder dishes

1. Planting advantages

1. Any region

It does not grow by mistake in the area of ​​-40°C～40°C. Can be planted from the south to the north.

2. No choice of soil

Farmland, barren hills, front and back of houses, and corners of land and gardens are cultivated in idle land. It is sun-bearing and tolerant to shade. Planting in fruit countries and forests can also control weeds, retain water and increase fertility.

3. Convenient management

The large leaves can cover the ground surface, and weeds cannot grow. You only need to pour some manure and fertilizer after each mowing, and you can get high yields every year.

4. Strong fecundity

A small root with a thick mouth of Russian chopsticks is a good seed. One plant reproduced more than 20 plants that year, and then reproduced more than 700 plants the following year.

5. Good palatability

Chickens, ducks, ostriches, pigs, sheep, cattle, rabbits and grass carp are especially fond of eating. They can be fed raw, silaged, dry stored or made into mixed pellet feed.

6, once and for all

Perennial plants, once cut and cultivated, can be used forever.

7. High-yield champion

It can be cut 4 (north) to 8 (south) times per year, and the annual output is 30,000 to 50,000 kg per mu. The high-yield champion of forage crops is none other.

8. The most benefit

Calculated on the basis of planting one acre of Russian vegetables, only a few hundred yuan of investment for the first year, such as introduction of seeds, is required, and there has been very little reinvestment every year thereafter. It can meet the needs of green feed for 7 cows, 45 sheep, 27 pigs, and 110 geese. Used for feeding cows, it can produce 8% to 12% more milk.

2. Planting technology

1. Land preparation and fertilization:

For deep plowing of the land, use more than 300KG of household fertilizer per mu.

2. Straightforward method:

Mainly rely on asexual reproduction, there are two methods:

(1) The ramet propagation method is to cut longitudinally according to the number of young shoots on the root block, and cut one plant for each root. New leaves can grow one week after cultivation. This method is suitable for sufficient roots or before large-scale planting. Specimen viewing room;

(2) Cut root propagation method: Cut roots with a diameter of more than 0.3 CM into 2CM long roots; cut roots with a diameter of 0.8 CM or more into 5CM long, then cut vertically into two branches, and cut the thicker into four petals; extra large roots The top of the block can be cut into many thumb-sized root blocks according to the number of buds. Dig a 3cm deep ditch in the seedbed, and place the roots horizontally in the ditch with a spacing of 3*3CM, and cover the soil with 2-4cm, and then spread straw or straw on it, often spray water to keep the land moist, and the seedlings will emerge in about 25 days. When the seedlings grow to half the height of the chopsticks, twist off the leaves and water them immediately after transplanting. The row spacing is 50*50cm, and the seed roots should be more than 5-10KG per mu. North of the Yangtze River can be planted from March to October, long

It can be planted all year round in the south of the river. If it can be interplanted with high-stalk crops such as corn, amaranth seeds, emperor bamboo grass, etc., it can increase income and protect Russian vegetables from going through summer safely.

3. Overwintering and cold protection:

In severe cold areas, it is best to store the mother roots in the vegetable cellar or bury the seeds in a 120cm deep trench in winter; in North China, you can use a plow to go deep before winter to cultivate the soil on the ridge or cover some straws. Rhizosphere: No special protection is needed in the area south of the Yellow River.

3. Feeding method

1. Raw wet feed

Russian fodder vegetables are best fed in a fresh state. It can be beaten or mixed with human bran and fed to pigs. Each sow can feed 10-20 kg per day; when used as feed for chickens and ducks, it is better to cut the lotus while it is sitting, or it can be made into "mashed vegetables". "Or "straw pulp" mixed with bran and fed. 2. When the silage is budding and flowering, the Russian feed menu can be stored or mixed. When mixed with green corn stalks, barley, oats, Sudan grass, elephant grass, etc., gramineous grasses can get better quality. Silage.

3. Modulate hay

Russian fodder vegetables have wide leaves and thin stems, which are easy to dry into the sun. After being crushed, the hay can be made into grass powder for feeding pigs. When preparing hay, choose to mow it on a sunny day and spread it out in a thin layer to dry it on the spot. It should be dried quickly to prevent the color from turning black and reducing the quality if it does not dry for a long time. Squid leaves have more and less warp, and the leaf quality is fragile. After drying, handle with care, and transport it back for storage in the morning and evening when it becomes damp and soft.

4. Other uses

Russian fodder dishes can also be used as medicine to treat ulcers, fractures, stop diarrhea, promote wound healing, reduce swelling, detoxification, and lower blood pressure. The flowering period of Russian fodder cauliflower is about 3 months, and it is a promising nectar plant. In addition, it can also be used as garden ornamental plants and coffee substitutes.
