With the continuous development of science and technology, it is more convenient and faster for people to travel and other things, and alien species are better to invade various countries, because there is no good solution, so that every country has a headache.
In particular, invasive alien plants are known for their strong transmissibility and are flooded in various countries, likeArtichoke, tumbleweedetc., are all headaches for foreign countries, and a lot of money needs to be consumed every year to deal with these alien species.
However, what people didn't expect was that these alien species could not be rampant in China, and foreign countries need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year to eradicate these species.
Artichoke belongs to the Asteraceae family, a herbaceous plant of the genus SunflowerArtichoke is also called Jerusalem artichoke, devil ginger, and five-star grassAnd so on, it has a tuberous rhizome, which not only grows extremely fast, but also has a strong reproductive ability, and is one of the plants that have a headache abroad.
A single plant of artichoke can produce tens of thousands of small seeds every year, which can be carried everywhere by the wind, and as soon as they land on the ground, they can quickly take root and sprout into a new plant.
Artichokes can not only beSeeds are used for propagationIt's okayRelies on tubers for propagationAs long as there are tubers that are not cleaned, they will grow into new artichokes in the second year.
Due toArtichoke is hardy and drought-resistantand its rhizomes can be found inSurvive in minus 30 degrees Celsius, also able toSurvive on arid and water-scarce lands, likeIn the weather with a high temperature of 40 degrees, the artichoke can still grow
And that's not all,Artichoke can also survive on barren land, evenRuins, roadsides and other land that is not suitable for other crops to growIt can be grown, and with very low land requirements, artichokes can be said to be able to survive well in all countries.
Even artichokes can survive at an altitude of 1,000 meters, but they cannot survive in acidic soils.
Researchers have found that although the production capacity of artichoke in various environments is very different, such as because of environmental factors that cause artichokes to have fewer flowers, small underground rhizomes, or low production capacity, but artichokes will not die.
Like during the freezing period, the underground stem of the artichoke freezes, it will not die, but will enter a state of hibernation, when the temperature begins to warm up, the artichoke will gradually wake up from hibernation, and after the surface temperature reaches a certain level, it will begin to sprout and grow normally.
It is precisely because of the extremely fertile ability of artichokes and the fact that they can survive in most environments that it has begun to flourish in some foreign countries.
Especially in Europe,Artichoke is listed as one of the most threatened alien speciesBecause the growth of artichoke is extremely rapid, it grows up quickly, so that other crops cannot effectively irradiate sunlight, and the growth is restricted.
Artichoke is a product of North America, according to historical recordsArtichoke was brought to Europe in the seventeenth century by an explorer from France
Because of its resemblance to chrysanthemums, it attracted the attention of French explorers who thought it could be used as an ornamental plant, and brought it back to Europe.
What he didn't expect was that the reproduction ability and growth rate of artichokes greatly exceeded his expectations, and when the people in Europe realized the reproduction rate of artichokes, it was too late.
Artichoke is like a haystack ** a cluster of flames that quickly began to spread in the country, occupy the living space of other plants, so that the ecological environment is out of balance, so the artichoke is called by European people"Green Devil".
, likeGermany, the United Kingdom, France and other European countries, are deeply devastated by artichokes, because there is no biological can inhibit artichokes well, can only rely on manpower to remove.
Countries in Europe need to consume every yearHundreds of millions of eurosIt is used to clean up the overflowing artichokes, but it is not well removed by manpower, so the artichokes are still flooded in European countries.
According to statistics, nearly a quarter of the land in the UK has been encroached upon by artichokes, and this number is growing every year.
Compared to the European dilemma, likeAsiaThere was no overflow of artichokes.
Australia is an area infested with rabbits, and rabbits can just inhibit the reproduction of artichokes, so unlike Europe, there will be a flood, but rabbits have become a headache for people in Australia.
European countries also thought about introducing rabbits to inhibit the growth of artichoke, but what European people did not expect was that the arrival of rabbits not only did not inhibit the growth of artichokes, but instead harmed other plants.
So why is artichoke not widespread in China, and why do people still need to grow it?
The Chinese diet is mainly cooked, and after entering China, exotic species have been studied by people who like to eat and drink as new cuisines.
Like invading ChinaCrayfish, tilapia, scavengersand so on, all of which are invasive alien species like artichoke, but the country has solved these alien species very well and served them to people's tables.
And artichoke is no exception, under the study of the Chinese peopleArtichoke can not only be served on people's tables, but also can be used as a medicinal herb for some diseases.
Artichoke is on the land of China,In order to prevent artichokes from occupying large amounts of land, smart farmers use small plots of cultivationThe cultivation of artichoke not only stopped the spread of artichoke, but also promoted the growth of artichoke and became an economic leader for farmers.
In China, artichoke is not only a delicacy on the table, but also a condiment for cooking food, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was also a famine-saving crop.
During the Qing Dynasty, when there was a drought, people relied on artichoke from the farmland as food to survive the drought period.
Nowadays, under people's research, the medical value of artichoke has also been developed.
ArtichokeRich in a lot of dietary fiber, and it containstrace elements as well as minerals, andOligosaccharidesand other ingredients.
And not only thatPromote the peristalsis of people's stomach and intestines, help the human body detoxify, and relieve constipationThe role of artichoker can be traced by trace elements and mineralsImprove the immunity of people's bodies, andThere is antibacterialrole.
According to the findings of the researchers,Inulin can be extracted from artichokes, can be used for diabetes, and according to research, artichoke contains a substance, which is very similar to the structure of insulin, which is needed by diabetics.
Not only can it play a role in diabetes, but also when people have low blood sugar, eating a certain amount of artichok can relieve symptoms.
However, artichokes belong to warm foodsIt should not be eaten with rabbit meat, dog meat and other foods, which can cause damage to the human body.
YetArtichoke can not only enter people's tables for people to enjoy, but also have a medicinal effect to **, and can even be used to improve the environment.
Protecting the environment is a necessary awareness for people to maintain their lives, and controlling desertification is the current problem of protecting the environment, and the emergence of artichoke has helped people.
As we all knowThe most important aspect of combating desertification is sand fixation, which has been developed in China todayMulti-functional sand fixing vehicleto prevent erosion from desertification.
However, the desert still needs further sand fixation after the solidification of the sand fixation truck, and this is where the artichoke plays a crucial role, which can survive in an arid environment.
After the multi-functional sand fixation vehicle is carried out, the plants that need to be planted in the grass grid have become a problem that people need to consider.
After the research of scientific researchers, artichok can be used as one of the plants used to fix sand, first of all, in the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is a problem that people need to consider, and secondly, the growth environment is too harsh.
Artichoke is a good defense against both of these problems, and it is now used to control desertification in China, and it is the most abundant plant in the desert.
Artichoke leaves, stems, and roots are high-quality feed, and they grow very quickly, as long as they are properly watered after planting, in desert environments.
And after planting the artichoke,Its rhizomes are rooted in the desert and can play a role in wind and sand fixation, and after the maturity period, the artichoke can increase the fertility of the land after wilting, and the roots still play the role of sand fixation, which can continue to improve the land.
Even without affecting sand fixation, artichoke can be properly harvested after the third year of planting and play an economical role.
In China, artichoke has become a necessity in people's lives, and as long as it is controlled, it can achieve efficient use value.
As an alien species, the reason why the artichoke has not flooded the land of China is also because of the wisdom of the people, and it has become a delicacy on the table and an important partner in protecting the homeland...
