What is suitable for growing in arid regions?

Agricultural drought: Mainly concerned with soil moisture content and plant ecology, it may be the behavior of specific crops. There are many varieties of drought-tolerant crops, such as millet, millet, sorghum, sesame, peanuts, buckwheat, castor.

Sunflower, sweet potato, corn, bean offal, wheat, turmeric.

Peppers, oranges, peaches, cherries, garlic, carrots, chestnuts, persimmons, dates, sweet potatoes, etc. Specific varieties should be adapted to local conditions, drought usually refers to the climatic phenomenon that the total amount of fresh water is insufficient to meet people's survival and economic development, and is generally a long-term phenomenon.

Drought has been a major natural disaster facing humanity since ancient times.

Even today, with the development of technology, its disastrous consequences are still everywhere. It is particularly noteworthy that with the economic development of human beings and the expansion of population, water shortage is becoming more and more serious, which directly leads to the expansion of arid areas and the intensification of drought, and the trend of drought has become a global concern. The drought-tolerant crop is tomatoes.

Tomatoes need water at first to grow smoothly, but in times of drought, tomatoes grow better. This is a strange point. Tomatoes will perform better in dry climates.

Although there is no access to irrigation water, which may result in slightly lower tomato yields, the taste is good.

Eggplant cultivation is a common vegetable cultivation in the north. Eggplant is grown in the summer, just like pepper tomatoes. When eggplants grow, they need some water to maintain normal growth.

Before it really grows, the eggplant was the most tender at the time. At this time, it should be covered to prevent insect infestation. Follow the rules and plant well, then you can enjoy delicious eggplants all summer long.

The vegetation in arid areas is mainly composed of xerophytic grasses and shrubs. Plants in arid regions are characterized by root biomass.

Large, usually more than 50% of the biomass in arid communities is in the roots. The root-to-stem ratio of arid species is between 1 and 2. The litter layer of the dry community had a high nitrogen content, on average, which was higher than that of grassland and forest.

In arid regions, we can see the huge root biomass and the importance of dust fall in the nutrient cycle. The system considered in this example is closed, and the loss of nitrogen is actually high through ground erosion and animal dispersal. Vegetation dynamics in arid regions are greatly influenced by precipitation.

Some observations suggest that, in general, the biomass or density of vegetation in arid regions remains constant, with biomass rising after precipitation and seasonal lushness lagging behind precipitation periods.

It is suitable for planting wheat, arid areas are generally concentrated in higher places, in these high places generally have hemolysis, can fully meet the requirements of wheat for moisture, and the sunlight in arid areas is relatively sufficient, has sufficient light time and intensity, can fully meet the needs of wheat for light, and wheat itself has a relatively strong drought resistance, the main planting industry is concentrated in arid areas, is a very suitable crop for planting in arid areas.

Dry areas are suitable for planting some more drought-resistant plants, such as peanuts, or watermelons, but also mung beans, potatoes, chestnut trees, etc., which are more drought-resistant.

It is suitable to plant Junjun trees, because Junjun trees are the trees we planted in Alipay, which are more drought tolerant, which is also our contribution to the green desert.

For example, fruits include: watermelon, red dates, pomegranates, etc. Crops are: sweet potatoes, potatoes, soybeans, peanuts, corn, peppers, carrots, etc.

Skullcap is a relatively precious medicinal material, the market value is also very high, in addition to the strong support of national policies, so the planting of skullcap is also more and more, but the yield has not been very ideal. However, skullcap is very adaptable, not afraid of severe cold and drought, and can be very adaptable to barren mountains and slopes, woods, and wild lands. Big-leaved dandelion:

Its anti-stress performance is strong, has a certain effect on some clinical inflammation, and has a large sales volume in the national traditional Chinese medicine market, and is an indispensable commonly used Chinese medicinal material, which is not only a medicinal material, but also a vegetable. It can cut 6-7 stubbles a year, produce 7200-8000 kg of fresh vegetables per mu, and can last for 3-4 years.

The varieties of medicinal materials suitable for independent development and planting in mountainous areas are: Gastrodia, Skullcap, Zhimu, Shegan, White Peony, Peony, Bupleurum, Yuanzhi, Barley, Caowu (Aconite), Salvia, etc. 3. The varieties of medicinal materials suitable for intercropping planting under the mountain forest, fruit forest, and land returned to forest are:

Dry half summer, Aracea, Panshan Dragon, can be planted Poria cocos. Poria cocos is a mushroom herb that is easy to manage and does not require much manpower. The market price is generally more than ten yuan a catty, and the market demand is also very large.

At present, the main crops are as follows: corn, wheat, rape, which are common food crops at present. In recent years, the grain planting area in arid areas has declined rapidly, and growers have changed their grain fields to plant pepper trees and medicinal herbs (skullcap, salvia, bupleurum, yuanzhi, etc.).

The yields of these crops have been much higher than those of corn and wheat in recent years. Licorice has the characteristics of light-loving, drought-tolerant, heat-tolerant, salinity-alkali and cold-tolerant. It is suitable for semi-arid sandy soil, loess hilly areas.

Now the market is tight, and it is very popular in the national traditional Chinese medicine market, and it is bullish all the way.

Shoot dry, adaptable, can be planted all over the country, suitable for barren mountains, barren slopes, wastelands, grassland beaches, drought and cold resistance. 2-3 years of harvesting, the yield per mu of dry goods is about 250 kg, and the current market price is 38 yuan kg, ** trend.

1. Wheat, due to the melting of icebergs and snow in arid areas, it can ensure that wheat has enough water, and the sunshine in arid areas is relatively sufficient, with sufficient heat and solar energy, which is more suitable for the robust growth of wheat, and the climate in arid areas is relatively warm, even if there is no iceberg snowmelt, wheat is also relatively drought-resistant, so it is suitable for planting in large quantities in arid areas. 2. Cotton, cotton is a heat-loving, good light, drought-tolerant, taboo cash crops, suitable for planting in loose and deep soil, so it can be planted in arid areas with sufficient light, cotton is a light-loving crop, the growth period needs to have sufficient light, heat, high latitude in the northeast, more precipitation, heat and light insufficient, fertile soil, not loose enough, short frost-free period, so it is not suitable for planting, and China's cotton is mainly produced in southern Xinjiang, river basins, river basins.

You can grow some barley, wheat, sesame, buckwheat, sunflower, sweet potato, sorghum food, because these are all grown on dry land.

Crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, sorghum, sesame peanuts, buckwheat, cotton, fruits, okra can be grown in arid areas. These crops do not require much water and are suitable for cultivation in arid regions.

The arid regions are suitable for growing wheat, corn, sugar beets, cotton, barley, all of which do not have very high water requirements.

Due to the lack of water resources in arid areas, we can grow some plants that do not require much water, such as corn, wheat, potatoes, cotton and other crops.

These crops are potatoes, wheat, cotton, corn, rape, garlic, soybeans, peppers, sunflowers, peanuts, sorghum, sesame.

Barren land, dry land. If it's growing crops. It is more suitable to grow soybeans, millet, and sorghum.

In addition, it is good to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. Because the above crops are relatively drought-tolerant varieties, even if they rely on the weather for food, they can also be harvested to a certain extent, because these crops can basically grow without watering, and if there is too much rain, it will not be good for the growth of these crops. Therefore, it is more appropriate to grow these crops in dry land.

In addition, fruit trees can be planted in barren dry land. I think: planting walnuts:

Chestnut: A large persimmon tree is most suitable. Other fruit trees have higher water requirements, so it is not suitable to plant other fruit trees.

Because none of the above three types of fruit trees require too much water, I think they are most suitable for dryland cultivation. If you plant these three drought-tolerant fruit trees, it will not only be economical.

Good, and the benefit period is long. Because the older these trees are, the more fruit they bear and the economic benefits will get better every year.

The most optimistic thing for individuals can be Chinese herbal medicines, the sales channels of medicinal materials are relatively narrow, but the unit price is high, the profit is large, and it is an industry worth developing. The medicinal herbs suitable for cultivation in dry land are related to windbreak and pangolin.

Platycodon, Angelica dahurica.

Ox knee, astragalus, wolfberry and northern sand ginseng.

Wait. Among them, it is recommended to plant hyssop.

Ox knee has low cost and high efficiency.

The amount of hyssop used in one acre of land is between 3 and 4 catties, calculated according to 4 catties, the market ** 50 yuan per catty, and the subtotal is 200 yuan. Other inputs are as follows: 100 yuan for cultivated land, 150 yuan for fertilizer, 200 yuan for excavation, 100 yuan for water, etc., plus 450 yuan for land rent.

Total input cost: 1200 yuan. If the dry land is all your own, you can omit the rent, and the input of one mu of land is 750 yuan, which is equivalent to the cost of one mu of corn land.

After the harvest, the yield per mu of hyssop reached 600 catties, and the purchase rate was about 7 yuan, with a total output value of 4,200 yuan. Subtract the cost, and the profit is 3450 yuan. This level of profitability is very high and can greatly increase the income of farmers in dryland areas.

Here are a few suggestions, as follows: (Personal opinion on hyssop planting).

Growers who are relatively unfamiliar with hyssop should remember to engage in blind engagement, and should be prepared in two aspects first. First, learn the planting techniques of hyssop first. How to cultivate soil, set seedlings and loosen soil, topping, irrigation, pest control and some planting skills.

For example, when the seeds are sown on the furrow, a thin layer of chaff can be sprinkled to help the seedlings emerge.

Second, the market. After the harvesting of the herbs grown, it is usually marketed for the herbs**. However, there is no market for medicinal herbs in many places, which makes it difficult to sell.

It would be very good if someone could buy it in batches, and then go to the medicinal materials market. However, there is no market for medicinal herbs, and there is no special person to buy them, and they cannot be sold or planted. Therefore, the market should be investigated and understood clearly in advance, not blindly.

There are many drought-tolerant crops grown in the plains, so let's select some of the main drought-tolerant crops that are often planted and introduce them.

1. Tomatoes. Members of the nightshade family tend to be sun-loving crops, but as long as they grow well, they perform better in drier climates. They need rain or water for the first few weeks to thrive and need to be covered around to retain moisture, but tomatoes will grow better in arid conditions.

Tomatoes in arid conditions, although they may have lower yields without water, will taste unbeatable.

2. Chili peppers. If you take the time to build them, peppers can do well in dry farming. You can reduce the amount of watering on the plants, just keep a good cover of the soil, and you can enjoy the delicious peppers all summer long.

3. Eggplant. Like peppers and tomatoes, eggplants are built for summer production. They are initially tender before they really grow and should be covered to prevent pests such as flea beetles.

Upfront, they also need quite a bit of moisture to build. Buy drought-tolerant varieties and keep them covered, and enjoy eggplants all summer long.

4. Potatoes. The beauty of potatoes in dry agriculture is that they are often planted early enough in the year to take advantage of spring rains to grow in most areas. Once they're well grown, make sure the beans are kept well cultivated, and the yield won't let you down.

If you see sprouting weeds on the ground, then be sure to be aware of them, as weeds will compete with beans for nutrients and water, so cover them if you can.

5. Sweet potatoes. As one of the most robust perfect summer and fall crops, sweet potatoes can really handle the heat. However, sweet potatoes start with very tender seedlings, so make sure they have plenty of water to insert their rhizomes into the soil underground.

As soon as this happens, the plants will grow quickly and form their own ground cover to maintain the water they need to grow.

6. Okra. Okra is known for its heat and drought tolerance and is an excellent crop for arid agriculture. Mulch will certainly help it thrive in the dry months, but okra can withstand quite a bit of heat and water stress on its own before it really reduces moisture.

7. Garlic. Garlic is probably the easiest of all dry-farmed crops to grow, as it can grow throughout the winter months, which are the wettest and coldest seasons in most places. In most places, farmers plant in the fall and harvest in late spring, often dragging the garlic out before the dry weather arrives.

I recommend mulching it to keep the weed stressed and keep the last few months hydrated, but there's no reason to skip this crop on a dry farm.

Drought-tolerant crops in the northern region include corn, wheat, millet, ephedra, etc. Taking ephedra as an example, it has strong adaptability, in addition to growing normally on ordinary land, it can also grow in deserts, beaches, slopes, ridges and other places; The root system of ephedra is relatively developed, and the requirements for water and fertilizer are not strict, so it can not only be planted as a crop, but also can be used as a green plant to prevent wind and sand fixation, green desert, and also has the effect of preventing soil erosion after planting.

Drought-resistant crops include: millet, millet, sorghum, sesame, peanuts, buckwheat, castor, sunflower, sweet potato, corn, bean offal, wheat, turmeric, pepper, citrus, peach, cherry, garlic, carrot, chestnut, persimmon, jujube, sweet potato, potato, etc.
