美国籽粒苋为一年生苋科草本植物,1982年由中国农科院从美国引入。它具有耐旱、耐盐碱、耐贫瘠、生长迅速、营养价值高等特点,不仅可为养畜提供大量的优质青绿饲料,而且还兼有菜用、籽粒食用、观赏等用途。为此,我县于1986年春从东北农学院引入美国籽粒苋No2品种,现把试种情况报告如下。 American amaranth is an annual amaranth herb, introduced by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences from the United States in 1982. It has the characteristics of drought tolerance, salt tolerance, resistance to infertility, rapid growth and high nutritional value. It not only provides a large amount of high-quality green feed for livestock raising, but also serves for food use, grain edible and ornamental purposes. To this end, my county in the spring of 1986 from the Northeast Agricultural College introduced the United States No2 varieties of grain amaranth, now try the situation reported below.
