A kind of harmful weed that farmers have a headache, often reduces soybean production, but they do not know that it is a good health product, 13 yuan per catty

In the countryside, we can always see a lot of weeds. They seem to be harmless, but they have caused great losses to agriculture before everyone is aware of them. For example, Striga is like this. As a unique weed, it does not seem to be too big, and the plant does not have too much vitality, giving people a feeling of being fragile, but in fact it is a big killer of cornfields. Even if the production is cut off, the production will be reduced by more than half, which makes the common people have a headache, and they don't know how to solve the problem.

In fact, in the farmland, there is another kind of weed that everyone hates. It is dodder. The old farmers who are farming should be familiar with it. After all, it is very harmful. As an annual parasitic plant, its stems It grows twiningly, and the plant is yellow, looks very slender, has no leaves, and will grow a small amount of white petals.

From China's Heilongjiang to Guangdong, Cuscuta is widely distributed. It can be seen on sunny hillsides and fields at an altitude of 200-3000 meters. It is mainly parasitic in various plants such as beans and chrysanthemums. In Japan, Iran , Australia, etc. also have a lot of existence.

In those humid and high-temperature environments, the growth rate of dodder is faster, and it has a very strong adaptability to the soil. It is generally found everywhere in farmland. After it exists in one place, it is difficult to dissipate. Once it meets a host, it will wrap around it to absorb the nutrients in the rhizome. It has strong vitality, and it is difficult for those hosts to compete for it, so that the nutrients are also drained.

Of course, it mainly relies on seeds for dispersal. After the seeds mature, they will fall into the soil. After dormancy and overwintering, it can germinate from March to June of the second year, so that the germ can emerge to form a filamentous plant.

As a parasitic plant, it will cause damage to the plants in the garden, at least it will affect the growth of the plants, and in severe cases it will directly lead to the death of the plants. Generally speaking, seedlings and flowers will be invaded by dodder, so that the tree vigor will also decline, the growth and development will not be perfect, and the ornamental effect will naturally be affected to a certain extent, and then it will die.

Cuscuta grows relatively fast and reproduces very luxuriantly. It will easily cover the crown of the tree, so that the photosynthesis of the host will be hindered, the nutrients will be taken in a large amount, the leaves will become yellow, and the plants will easily dry up. . It can parasitize many plants. Once it is invaded by it, it needs to be protected immediately with pesticides, and it needs to be buried deeply to prevent it from sprouting.

Regardless of the fact that dodder is more harmful, it also has certain nutrients. After all, it absorbs a lot of nutrients, and it will naturally be used in the body. Now it has a relatively large medicinal effect, and it is beneficial to various organs of the human body. It has the function of caring, and now it has become a health product, and male compatriots like it very much. The current purchase price is 10-13 yuan per catty, and the price in the market is even higher.

Its nourishing effect has been discovered very early, so people would harvest its seeds in ancient times, and now some people have seized its market conditions and carried out artificial planting to earn more. Many benefits!
