我国近代苜蓿栽培利用技术研究考述

我国近代苜蓿栽培利用技术研究特点是在传统苜蓿经验的基础上,结合西方试验科学理论与技术,在品种类型之特性、引种驯化、种植栽培、加工贮藏和饲喂利用等方面构建形成了苜蓿栽培学框架。本研究采用文献考证法,在收集查阅近代文献的基础上,开展文献的整理排比、甄别考证和爬梳剔抉,并结合近现代研究成果进行总结归纳。结果表明,在近代我国苜蓿引种试验广泛,从东北、华东、西北乃至南方均进行了苜蓿的适应性观察研究,同时也对苜蓿栽培生物学、干草与青贮调制技术及饲喂技术进行了研究。在民国时期,中美农业科技考察团对我国畜牧业生产情况进行了调查,并对发展以苜蓿为主的饲料作物种植提出了建议。在近代,苜蓿与其他作物一样,其西方科学技术乃至本土试验研究成果已得到了快速广泛的传播。

Cultivation and utilization of alfalfa in modern China

The cultivation and utilization of alfalfa in modern China is reviewed from traditional beginnings to its rapid development through a modern scientific approach.The introduction,domestication,cultivation,pro-cessing,storage and feeding,and characteristics of different varieties are described.An extensive literature re-view was used as the primary research tool.Results show that alfalfa is extensively utilized in modern China. Originally the adaptability of alfalfa was assessed in the northeast,north,northwest and southern areas of Chi-na.The biology and potential usefulness as forage were also assessed.Since the establishment of The Republic of China,the Chinese and American Agricultural Science and Technology inspection group have surveyed ani-mal husbandry practices in China,and made suggestions on the development of forage crops.The development of alfalfa as an important forage crop has been rapid and its use in China widespread.
