The leaf green bristlegrass

Palm leaf green bristlegrass (scientific name: Setaria palmifolia) is a perennial herbaceous plants, stem 0.75 ~ 2 meters high, about 3 ~ 7 mm in diameter, prop root. Blade spindle wide lanceolate, 20 ~ 59 cm long and 2 ~ 7 cm wide. In wet places of slopes or valley forests.. Native to Africa, we are all with a tropical and subtropical regions around the world.

Morphological characteristics

Perennial. With rhizomes, fibrous root is tough. Base of stem erect or slightly knee, 0.75 2 m tall, 3-7 mm diam., base to 1 cm, prop root. Relaxation, with dense or sparse warts, MAO minority glabrous, upper margin is relatively close and long warts cilia, Mao Yi fall off, the lower edge of the thin paper, without cilia; Ligule ca. 1 mm long, 2-3 mm long cilia; Blade spindle wide lanceolate, 20 to 59 cm long and 2-7 cm wide, apex abruptly acuminate, base narrow handle shaped, basal margin with warts of about 5 mm long hair, deep wrinkles, two masks warts hairy or glabrous.

Inflorescence axis extends very long, is carried out or slightly narrow tower, 20 to 60 cm long and 2-10 cm wide, spindle angulate, branched loosely arranged, very rough, to 30 cm long; Spikelet lanceolate oval, 2.5 4 mm long, close or sparse is arranged on the side of the parts under the spikelet with 1 bristles, setae 5-10 (14) mm long or shorter; First YingSanJiao ovate, apex slightly, 1/3-1/2 length of spikelet, 3-5 vein; Second glume length of spikelet 1/2-3/4 or slightly shorter Yu Xiaosui, apex acute, 5-7 vein; First flowers male or neutral, first lemma and spikelet length or slightly longer, apex acuminate, slightly curved tip intact, 5 vein, palea membranous, narrow and short, narrow triangle, two-thirds of the length of lemma; The second floret bisexual, lemma 2 less obvious horizontal wrinkles, length or slightly shorter than the first lemma, apex pointed for small, hard, mature spikelet is not easy to fall off. Scale by wedge emarginated, base along the color depth of arteries and veins; Styles united at base. Caryopsis ovoid lanceolate, often do not fall off with the glumes when mature, 2 -- 3 mm long, with a less obvious horizontal wrinkles. Central 3-4 behavior between upper and lower epidermis leaf vein and deep corrugated, long wall thinner cells, on both sides of 2-3 behavior of deep ripple, wall thick long cells, with occasional short cells. Chromosome 2 n = 36 (Avdulov), 54 (Krishnaswamy). And 5-12 months.

Growing environment

The leaf green bristlegrass In slopes, wet places or forests of valleys. Its growth period, in fujian, northern natural growth condition, about 180 days, 260 days or more, and in the central south, winter minimum temperature above 0 ℃, is almost no withered and yellow phase, stay green all year round, but still growth period for 190 days. Palm leaf green bristlegrass depend mainly on seed breeding, but the germination rate is low, and sowing, seedling growth is slower, unicast, difficult quicker ground cover, therefore, in establishing artificial grassland, it is best to adopt the mixed seeding. Experiments show that it has to do with digitaria mixed ideal. Unicast grass yield of 5230.55 kg/mu, mixed seeding of 6191.98 kg/mu, increases the yield of 20%. But seed breeding grounds, appropriate USES unicast, easy to harvest seeds. Palm leaf green bristlegrass generativity strong, can tationally cutting 3-4 times a year, plot test production. Each grass yield in 1000-1000 kg/mu. Palm leaf green bristlegrass xi warm humid climate. Also has a certain of drought resistance and cold resistance. In northern fujian province, winter minimum temperature of 9 ℃ below zero cases, winter smoothly. Lax to soil fertilizer requirement, suitable for cultivation in the southern red soil and yellow soil region. If in good condition, the water to grow strong, high yield. And in the barren, drought of soil and water loss region, can also be normal growth and development. But low yield and seed yield, also cauline leaf aging faster. Whatever the cultivation condition, have not found the harm of diseases and pests.

The distribution of

Origin: Africa.

Distribution: China zhejiang, jiangxi, fujian, hubei, hunan, guizhou, sichuan, Taiwan, yunnan, guangdong, guangxi, Tibet and other provinces and regions.

Zhejiang, jiangxi, fujian, hubei, hunan, guizhou, sichuan, Taiwan, yunnan, guangdong, guangxi, Tibet and other provinces and autonomous regions; Born in wet places of slopes or valley forests. Native to Africa, spreading in Oceania, the americas and the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia.

Cultivation techniques

Palm leaf green bristlegrass for site preparation requirements: sloping fields should be ploughing up harrow, plow deep 15 cm, the ground appropriate USES ridge, and drainage. Applying basal had better use organic fertilizer, content of 500 kg/mu, or using urea, calcium superphosphate seed seed manure instead of base fertilizer. Before sowing, the seeds should be bask in, can improve the germination rate. Can be used drilling or sow, drilling 30 cm apart. The rate of 3 kg/mu. Turns the soil depth 1-2 cm. Also can use dibbling seed, hole distance of 30 cm. When seedlings 40 to 60 cm high, can tationally cutting or grazing utilization. After each use, should according to time, urea and calcium superphosphate available every 5 to 10 kg/mu. Palm leaf green bristlegrass and digitaria, long pine guru green bristlegrass, corn straw mixed seeding, seeding rate in proportion to size. Seed cultivation, appropriate USES unicast, eli seed harvest.

The main value

Forage value

Green bristlegrass palm leaf stem leaf texture, rough for feeding the cows, poor palatability. The stem leaf than for forth in jointing stage 3. According to the fujian agricultural for feeding Cow test results, with palm leaf green bristlegrass instead of other grass fed cows, 50 kg per head average daily food intake, milk volume fell slightly in the first two days (every cow dairy compared with control group, the total of 4.5 kg), after the third day, returned to normal, and a bit more. That use palm leaf green bristlegrass feeding cows should have a process of adaptation. According to the chemical composition analysis data of the leaf green bristlegrass, the crude protein content is high, accounting for 18.78% of the absolute dry matter content, can be used as a protein source, feeding or toppings directly mixed with compound feed, instead of legume forages.

The essential amino acid content of the green bristlegrass palm leaf is also a more comprehensive and abundant, showed that palm leaf green bristlegrass is suitable for the southern red soil hilly cultivated a good forage grass. Has a wide adaptability, strong resistance, high productivity, generativity for high protein content, good palatability characteristics, can be used as establishing artificial grassland, used in the development of animal husbandry. At the same time, because the green bristlegrass palm leaf has developed root system, lush and broad leaf slice, can not only make full use of solar energy, and with a strong solid soil water retention capacity, good grass is also a kind of management of soil and water loss. Area of 30000 mu above.

Medicinal value

Caryopsis contain abundant starch, edible; Medicine with the root, the root can be medicinal cure rectocele, uterine prolapse.

Tender bamboo shoots can be eaten raw, can also be like bamboo shoots, leaves cooking. Medicinal: some samples or avoiding application, can do pill medicinal broth of wine. For external use with smoked wash affected part. Clearing damp with strong effect. Stem rhizome is used in the treatment of arthritis inappetence, bud dysplasia.
