Chapter 1733： Alfalfa ryegrass mixed sowing technology

After the arable land was over, it was time for the performance of Aka. The car is more efficient. It can seed 40 to 50 acres of land a day, and the efficiency is messy. Then, after spring tillage and planting are over, it will start in April. In other countries, spring cultivation has just taken place.

Seeing that the whole country meant to rest, Marin felt a little wasted. Suddenly, he remembered-he could grow grass!

The so-called grass planting does not mean planting the grass for later greening, but planting forage grass. Mainly alfalfa, there is ryegrass.

Rye grass is not rye, the two are two things. Rye, also called triticale, is a food crop. Ryegrass, however, is forage grass and belongs to another kind of thing.

The most powerful part of ryegrass is more than a year old. In other words, it can be harvested many times a year. Of course, you can also graze directly and let cattle and sheep graze on the ground. After eating, rush to another place. After a few months, the ryegrass grows again and can graze again.

Therefore, ryegrass and alfalfa are generally used in those pastures in later generations. For example, in Australia, the technology of mixed alfalfa and ryegrass is widely used.

Why mix with alfalfa? Because alfalfa is a legume crop that can fix nitrogen. Planted with alfalfa can fertilize the land. The ryegrass is a crop that consumes land. Planting ryegrass alone requires even fertilization.

By mixing the alfalfa and ryegrass in the fertilizer field, the alfalfa nitrogen-fixing fertilizer field can be used, and the ryegrass can be "packaged". In this way, there is no need to fertilize pasture. Moreover, alfalfa itself is the top quality pasture.

...

However, the grasslands in Beihai are mostly native wild grasses at present, and the effects of animal husbandry are not good. It's hard to grow fat when cattle and sheep are eaten.

Therefore, Marin came up with the idea-why not use the opportunity of spring farming to plant alfalfa and ryegrass as much as possible on the land that was reclaimed into farmland?

Alfalfa nitrogen fixation fertilizer land, ryegrass can provide livestock with multiple rounds of forage. As long as the forage planting is done well, Beihai can raise more horses, cattle and sheep in the future.

Moreover, these professional forages are rich in nutrients, and can also be used as feed, instead of food, for raising horses ...

In addition, Marin also intends to rotate. The North Sea country has enough land, but it is very laborious to grow food on a piece of land. Although there are three fertilizers with complete fertilizer technology, after all, no land itself is fertile.

Marin ’s plan was to use cropland and grass for rotation. He intends to reclaim the same large or larger grassland around the cultivated land, mixed planting alfalfa and ryegrass. With alfalfa's nitrogen-fixing fertilizer land function, after one or two years, the grassland will become fertile.

The cultivated land on the side becomes barren due to the consumption of fertility. But it doesn't matter. After one or two years, cultivated land and grassland are exchanged. The original grassland grows food, while the original cultivated land grows alfalfa and ryegrass. In this way, the ground force is maintained.

Moreover, the grassland where professional grass is planted can also allow farmers to raise horses, cattle and sheep on a large scale. Not to mention, the horse feed for arable land alone is adequately supplied.

You know, although Eastern Mongolian horses eat much grass. However, eating professional nutritious pastures and eating ordinary weeds are two different things. If weeds are overeaten, the horse will grow thin and boring. And eating grass every day will make you fat and strong. When the farm is busy, pulling plows and carts is more powerful.

...

Therefore, Marin ordered that the farmers who ended the spring cultivation and the spring planting, continue to plow the land on the edge of the farmland to grow professional grass.

Why plowing the land? Because the original weeds will be killed. If the soil is turned upside down, the roots of those weeds will be exposed to the air and endure the spring cold. Then, live to death.

There is no herbicide this year, so if we want to solve those weeds, we can only do so. After the weeds are frozen to death, we are mixing alfalfa and ryegrass. In this way, we can successfully replace the original er weeds with professional grass.

With a single order, the peasants continued to move and continued to cultivate the land beside the cultivated land.

But after the land was cultivated, Marin found a very embarrassing thing-he did not have enough forage seeds ...

This era is not an era of highly modernized animal husbandry in later generations. Europeans in this era did not pay much attention to the cultivation of professional forage. Only the North Sea country has cultivated a lot of alfalfa and has stored a lot of alfalfa seeds.

However, this reserve is really insignificant compared with the huge North Sea country. You know, there are 12 million mu of cultivated land in Beihai. If the rotation system is adopted, at least 12 million mu of pasture must be planted.

But the sum of alfalfa seeds in the North Sea country is only enough to plant 1 million mu, not even one tenth of the demand.

As for ryegrass seeds, there are quite a few in England. Because, sheep breeding in England, mainly rely on ryegrass. But Marin sent someone to buy it, and he only had enough to plant 1.2 million mu. After all, there is more wild ryegrass in England. Ryegrass is not cultivated and cultivated on purpose, so the number of seeds is limited.

Then, Marin was embarrassed-more than 10 million mu of grassland was plowing in the country. As a result, only 2.2 million mu of seeds were available ...

In desperation, Marin had to order to sow some grain seeds on the ground that lacked seeds. Originally, he wanted to sow rye seeds. However, considering the needs of animal husbandry, on more than 9 million acres of grassland, Marin ordered half of rye seeds and half of oat seeds.

There are too many rye seeds in the North Sea country, all in the warehouse. And oat seeds, Malinte sent people to other countries and regions to buy a lot of back to be used for spreading.

Because it is broadcast, not a scientific and reasonable broadcast. Therefore, Marin didn't even expect much of the yield from the plowed grassland. Fortunately, whether it is rye or oats, the vitality is very tenacious. At that time, somehow it was rewarding ...

Anyway, whether these rye or oats are grown extensively, they are used to feed animals. The best output is possible, if not, the straw is chopped and fed to the animals ...

But because of this year's embarrassment, Marin specifically ordered the establishment of a seed cultivation base in Beihai, and began to cultivate alfalfa and ryegrass seeds on a large scale to prepare for the coming year.

In the future, Beihai will use professional alfalfa and ryegrass mixed sowing technology to gradually transform most of the wild grasslands in Beihai into pasture.

In this way, while farmers are farming, they can also keep a lot of horses, cattle and sheep. Even the harvested forage can be used to feed pigs.

If it is used to raise horses, with the silage technology, the horses can be raised fat and strong. In the event of a war, all manors can bring out a group of fat and strong army horses for war.

Moreover, these grasslands mixed with alfalfa and ryegrass can also be exchanged with cultivated land to become fertile cultivated land. The two are rotated every two or three years, and agriculture and animal husbandry are both correct.

Even with enough pasture, Marin intends to force the raising of cows or sheep in all manors in the future. In this way, every child in the farm can drink highly nutritious milk or goat milk ...

At that time, the North Sea country will be like the Netherlands where agriculture and animal husbandry are extremely developed in the later generations. Because the people have sufficient milk sources, everyone will be tall and strong. In this way, in the event of a war, the North Sea State can also pull out a large number of tall and strong soldiers. If you are fighting bayonets, you will have an advantage after all. The devil soldiers of later generations have so good military literacy and strong fighting skills, but they still suffer from the Northwest Army Sword Team. Without him, it is not a matter of ability, but of height and arm length. No matter how good the technology is ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The height of Mi 5 is still in a disadvantage in front of the brave man with a long and strong arm in the Northwest Army Only when shooting each other, the devil has the upper hand ...

Even in the face of the unfamiliar eight-way fight, the devil does not have the upper hand. At most, they can rely on powerful technology to cause great casualties to Balu. In the final analysis, the devil suffered a loss. Why? The veterans who have been training for many years are different from the militia recruited randomly from the countryside by Balu. Even if the casualties were equal, the devils suffered a big loss. No way, the height is not enough, the arm is too short, and the bayonet is a disadvantage. Even if the technology is good, people can rely on their hands to compete with you.

Therefore, after the Second World War, the devil was ruthless, and the whole population drank milk and ate beef. In the 21st century, the height of the devil was almost the same as that of the Huaxia people, and even slightly overtaken.

And in World War II, according to height, you can judge the origin of the devil. For example, if you see a group of devil with a relatively high height, the commander can conclude that this is not a native devil, and may be the second devil in Korea. And a group of devils who are in their early 1s, 5s, or 1s, 6s ... well, local devils, it is more difficult to do ... Although Mrs. Pan plays stupid, it is not true, but that height is not lying. Even, Mr. Pan's height was a very standard height among devils during World War II. Otherwise, the devil will not be called a "little devil" at that time ...
