What are the high-quality forage varieties (ranking of the best forage varieties)

In order to reduce the cost of farming, many people will plant grass more or less. In recent years, many high-quality forage varieties have appeared in the market.

This makes many people a little tangled when choosing. I don't know which pasture is good

Today, I'm going to introduce six kinds of common high-quality grasses to you. Their plants are tall and have strong regeneration ability. You can harvest many times a year, and you can operate for many years at a time.

① Russian feed vegetables

As can be seen from the name, this grass comes from Russia. And since it is called "Russian feed dish", it can be used not only as pasture, but also for cooking and eating, which is true.

Russian feed vegetable is a perennial plant of Lithospermum, which is native to the former Soviet Union, Europe, Caucasus, Siberia and other places. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, the United States, Britain, Denmark and other countries have introduced and planted them.

Later, it spread to Australia, Japan, and North Korea. All the plants planted in our country came from North Korea in the 1970s.

The characteristics of this yield per mu are also outstanding, not only with strong cold tolerance, but also with drought and barrenness. Even in the northeast of winter, it can still be planted, and it can overwinter naturally in winter, because its roots can withstand the condition of MINUS 40 degrees Celsius.

In addition, Russian feed vegetables have a strong regeneration ability, grow out soon after cutting, and then continue to harvest, harvesting 8 times a year, and producing 50 thousand kilograms of fresh grass per mu, which is known as the high-yield champion.

At the same time, it can be harvested for many years at a time, which is more convenient than green feed once a year.

② Giant weeds

This is a kind of high-quality pasture that many breeding friends are familiar with. Because it is native to China and cultivated by scientists in China, it is one of the most suitable pastures for planting in China.

The characteristics of giant grass are also reflected in the word "giant", which is a perennial erect tufted plant in Gramineae. Plants are very tall, growing to more than 7 meters, almost two stories high.

Moreover, the giant grass has very strong tillering ability and extensive management after planting, so it is a very worry-free forage. At the same time, it also has the characteristics of strong stress resistance, high yield and high crude protein and sugar content.

It can be planted in most areas of China. It is planted in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. If water and fertilizer are properly managed, the annual output of fresh grass per hectare can reach more than 450 tons.

③ Alfalfa

This kind of grass is cultivated in many places in China, and it is still wild in many places at present.

Alfalfa is a perennial herb of alfalfa in Leguminosae. Although its plants are not high, generally between 40-80 cm, it has many branches, lush leaves and strong regeneration ability, so its yield is also relatively high.

Alfalfa can be seen in many rural wasteland, roadside and grass, and friends who engage in farming also like this plant because of its high crude protein content, which is one of its greatest characteristics.

Alfalfa contains a variety of rich nutrients, including all amino acids necessary for human beings and animals, as well as sugar, starch, cellulose, hemicellulose and various mineral elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, potassium, copper and manganese.

At the same time, it is worth mentioning that alfalfa is not only used as feed, but also a high-quality wild vegetable. In the past, when the conditions were not good, the tender stems and leaves of alfalfa were often picked to eat, which could be cold salad, fried, stuffed or steamed with flour.

④ Pennisetum

Pennisetum is known as the "emperor in the grass" and belongs to Gramineae, but it is a perennial upright tufted plant of Pennisetum.

This kind of grass is very similar to sugarcane, very strong, and as knotty as sugarcane, the plant is relatively tall and can grow to more than five or six meters.

The history of planting Pennisetum in China is not long. It was introduced in the 1990s and not popularized until the Millennium. Pennisetum in China is famous for its strong adaptability, strong regeneration ability, high yield, easy planting and high protein content.

At present, it can be planted in the south, but Pennisetum has poor cold tolerance, which stops growing below 5℃ and may freeze to death below 0℃, so it is not suitable for planting in the north.

⑤ Sweet grass

Elephant grass is a kind of high-quality and high-yield grass widely planted in tropical and subtropical areas, and its regeneration ability is also very strong. It can be cut 6-8 times a year in the southern region, with an average yield of about 20 tons per mu, and the highest can reach more than 30 tons.

The most important point is that sweet elephant grass is a perennial plant, and it can be harvested continuously once 10- 15 years. Like the southern region, it is especially suitable for planting sweet elephant grass, which can be harvested all year round.

Moreover, sweet weevil grows tall, but it has good palatability. This kind of grass tastes a little sweet, like cows, sheep, geese, rabbits, grass carp, pigs and so on.

Especially, it is very convenient to feed grass carp, and the benefit is also very high. On average, grass and fish can grow about 1 kg per1kg of fresh grass.

⑥ Ryegrass

A forage grass widely distributed all over the world and a perennial herb, it is suitable for growing in a warm and humid climate.

However, the cold tolerance of perennial ryegrass is not very strong, and the suitable growth environment is 27- 10℃. When the temperature is lower than 0℃, it may affect its growth and even freeze to death. At the same time, when the temperature is higher than 35℃, the growth is not good.

One more thing, ryegrass is also very strict about land. It likes to live in an environment with fertile soil and is not very resistant to poverty and drought. This is why the number of farmers planting ryegrass has decreased in recent years, and more people gradually choose Pennisetum, Sweet Elephant Grass, Alfalfa and other grasses.
