Suitable varieties of summer and autumn forage grasses

With the ryegrass that are suitable for the winter and spring seasons entering the harvest stage, the County Animal Husbandry Center of the Bureau of Agriculture has recently begun to popularize summer and autumn pastures. After several years of screening, there are mainly the following varieties: Bitter leeks: It is a kind of excellent green feed that has strong adaptability, high yield, fresh and juicy, and is suitable for all kinds of livestock and poultry. Bitter leeks are herbs of Asteraceae for a year. Drilling, sowing or transplanting seedlings are used in spring; when grown up, they can be castrated or stripped; water and fertilizer conditions are good, and they can be harvested 6 to 8 times a year, yielding 07,000 kilograms per mu. Chicory: It is a perennial perennial plant newly introduced in recent years. It looks like bitter leeks and contains white milk. It is not only eaten by livestock and poultry but also an excellent human vegetable. The seeds can be sown in all seasons, and after many years, the fleshy roots can be grown and transplanted by cutting. Chicory is dormant in winter and returns to spring in spring. The utilization period can be as long as eight months, with a yield of 0.8 million kilograms per mu. Dawei grass: also known as Mexican feed corn, it is a high pole grass plant, wide adaptability, extremely strong delivery force, a seed can be more than 20 strains of hair, so the output up to 10,000 kilograms. As long as timely harvest, suitable for all kinds of livestock and poultry. The crude protein content in dry matter is 10.4%, which is rich in nutrition and high in utilization rate. In addition, the center also introduced a small amount of hybrid sorghum, Sudan grass and so on. Summarizing past experience, to make pasture really achieve high yield, we must pay attention to: 1 seedling management should be fine, it is best to use some herbicides, otherwise the early growth is less than weeds, affecting future yield. 2 base fertilizer to give enough. Without adequate water and fat, there is no high yield. 3 After each cut, fast-acting fertilizer must be chased. 4 broad-leaved plants, met with blisters at high temperatures in summer, easy to rot, timely drainage, anti-rotten and rotten.
