The common sausage grass in the countryside can be sold for 230,000 yuan per mu, why do some people regard it as a harmful grass?
"Grass pest" in the field.
Cattail is a common weed in China's rural rice fields and fish ponds, which looks like a sausage and is a perennial herbaceous plant. Like a dandelion, it is floating around in the breeze, looking for a suitable living environment. In the countryside, children love to tease "sausage grass", but in the eyes of farmers, it is a noxious weed. But now, the cattail ** has multiplied several times, and each hectare can be worth two or three hundred thousand, what is it that attracts so many people and makes it a "nobleman in the grass"?
A very common weed near a pond, its scientific name is "cattail", which usually occurs in moist and waterlogged places, such as near ponds. Its fruit is like a red-hot intestine, hence the name Pu Huang. Its rhizomes are white, branchless, and staggered. A cattail plant grows with a beautiful leaf, and its leaves are pleasantly green. Although the fruit looks like a sausage, the name was derived from the introduction of Western barbecue. In the early days, because it was shaped like a candle, it was called "pampa wax" or "hair wax". Cattails like to be warm and moist, and grow in fish ponds, rice fields, wild ponds, etc.
However, because cattails grow in rice fields, they are hated by the people. Due to its fast and rapid reproduction, it draws nutrients from crops and thus causes great damage to crops. It takes a lot of effort for farmers to remove the pampas grass from the paddy fields. Because it has a strong ability to survive, it is very difficult to remove it all at once, and it must be pruned constantly. Therefore, growing cattails in rice paddies is an abhorrent behavior.
However, for the farmers, the cattails that are not planted in the fields are not too much of a problem. In the absence of flower water and mosquito coils, the flame of the cattail tree is a natural means of repelling mosquitoes. In addition, its leaves can also be used to weave straw hats, straw sandals, straw mats and other woven products, which are very popular with the poor.
And this is also the main use of cattail grass. It has high medicinal value, hemostasis, analgesic, lipid lowering and other effects, and has a broad clinical use. Cattail stem is a common vegetable, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and nourishing blood. In addition, it has the effect of purifying water bodies and certain aquatic animals. In addition, its stems and leaves can also be used to make paper, which is not only a good raw material, but also can be made into imitation cotton yarn and high-quality linen yarn.
In short, although it is harmful to farmers, it has a very wide range of uses and is very versatile. Therefore, today's cattail grass ** has multiplied several times and is very popular.
