How to plant Pennisetum? What temperature will freeze to death?

There is a saying in raising cattle, plant grass first and then raise cattle. Some people may scoff and think that it is a free economy era, and you can buy anything without growing your own grass. However, this is the idea of people who have never raised cattle. When they really go to raise cattle, they may want to find a piece of land to grow grass and raise cattle themselves.

The cost of raising cattle and grass is low, and the cost of buying forage is high.

It is right to plant grass before raising cattle. Cattle raising is a low-profit industry. If you buy everything, the profit of a cow is very low. If the cow gets sick again and grows slowly, it may not make money. Now it costs two or three hundred yuan to buy a ton of forage, and a cow eats 10 ton, which is 2000 yuan a year. If you grow your own grass, 500 yuan's fertilizer money can supply fodder for two cows, and the cost of fodder for each cow is only about 300 yuan.

If you don't plant grass or buy grass, the cost of forage alone will cost 2,000 yuan for a cow, and you need to ask a driver to transport it. If the distance is a little longer, a ton of freight costs 100 yuan. When you get home, you have to ask an excavator to help unload the goods, which costs 500 yuan a day. In this way, the cost of forage for a cow has reached more than 3000 yuan.

It only costs 300 yuan to grow your own grass, and 3,000 yuan to buy forage. I believe you will choose to plant grass, and the higher the yield, the better.

Can we plant Pennisetum in the north? Nothing can be planted. It must be said that Pennisetum is a kind of forage with high yield and rich nutrition. Now the improved Pennisetum yield per mu can reach 20 tons, which can be achieved in Guangxi. One acre of Pennisetum can raise two cows.

But Pennisetum has one disadvantage, that is, it is not cold-resistant and cannot be planted in cold weather. Originally planted in Guangxi, a year can grow for eight years. If you plant it in the north, it won't grow for eight years and freeze to death in winter, you have to continue to buy seeds to save money next year.

Although Pennisetum has been successfully planted in Xinjiang, Beijing, Henan, Shandong and other northern regions. It should be understood that most successful planting records are experimental, and only with good basic conditions can we grow successfully. Cattle farmers want to plant Pennisetum, which needs to experience wind and rain outside, but it is not planted in the experimental field, so individual planting may fail directly. Therefore, the old farmer does not recommend that everyone plant Pennisetum in the north. Even if they can barely survive, the output is relatively low.

Since it is not recommended to plant Pennisetum in the north, what is better? Oatmeal can be planted at present. Oats can survive for 5-7 years once planted, and the most important characteristics are cold resistance and frost resistance. /kloc-was introduced and cultivated in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Jilin and other provinces in the 1950s. It can be said that it is suitable not only for plain planting, but also for alpine plateau planting.

It has the characteristics of cold tolerance and drought tolerance, and has low requirements for soil, so it is suitable for planting in the north. Only oat grass is better, but the yield is not as good as yellow bamboo grass. The output of fresh grass is only 54 tons, which is really not enough compared with the output of yellow bamboo grass of 20 tons.

In fact, it is not necessary to feed cattle in the north, but a large number of soybean straws or wheat and barley straws can be produced. Protein is also quite high, and it is also good to make coarse grains. The south is suitable for planting Pennisetum, so it is said that cattle should be planted with grass first, while the natural conditions in the north are not good, so it is also good to purchase local crop straws to feed cattle.

In short, Pennisetum can be planted in the south, but Pennisetum is not suitable for planting in the north. If you really want to grow grass and raise cattle, you can choose oatmeal in the north.
