What crop is highland barley? Highland barley is a Gramineae plant, also known as highland barley, rice wheat, yuan wheat and Huai wheat. It is a special type of barley, called naked barley, because its inner and outer glumes are separated from caryopsis and its grains are bare.
Is highland barley a native crop in China? As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, China had a history of cultivating barley, mainly six-rowed barley. Mainly distributed in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and arid desert areas in northwest China. After selection, domestication and cultivation, plateau people cultivated wild common barley into highland barley, which became local food and horse feed.
According to scientific research, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the earliest place to cultivate highland barley in the world, so highland barley is a local crop in China.
Is highland barley a southern crop or a northern crop? Highland barley is a cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant crop, which is not suitable for planting in the south, so highland barley belongs to the northern crop.
What temperature zone is highland barley? Highland barley belongs to the vertical temperature zone.
Is highland barley a chlorine-free crop? Barley is not a chlorine-free crop. Highland barley belongs to chlorine-tolerant crops.
Highland barley is mainly distributed in Tibet, Qinghai, Ganzi and Aba prefectures in Sichuan, Diqing in Yunnan and Gannan in Gansu, as well as the Qinghai-Tibet alpine region with an altitude of 42,004,500 meters.
There are five famous highland barley producing areas in Tibet: Lianxiang, Nimu, Pulan, Zedang and Gamba.
The yield and economic benefit of highland barley in 2020, the yield of highland barley will increase by 25 kg, and the total output will increase by more than 50,000 tons, reaching the goal of 800,000 tons. The total grain output of the whole region is stable at 1 10,000 tons.
1. Highland barley is the main food crop in Lhasa and an important basis for ensuring food security. Lhasa has formed Lhasa, Shigatse, Shannan, Linzhi, Qamdo and other core grain production areas. By optimizing the internal structure of planting industry, the adjustment focus is to reduce the area of winter and spring wheat and increase the planting proportion of winter and spring highland barley crops, so that the sown area of grain, especially highland barley, is increased and the advantages of main grain producing areas are more obvious.
2. The cultivated land area in Lhasa area is limited, and increasing the breeding and popularization of highland barley varieties is an important guarantee for increasing the yield of highland barley. At present, three highland barley varieties have been replaced in Lhasa, and the yield per mu has increased by more than 40% after each seed replacement, and the yield per mu of highland barley has increased from 10 1 kg/mu to more than 350 kg/mu.
Aiming at the health care function of highland barley and the market demand for disease-resistant, high-yield and high-quality varieties, highland barley varieties with high glucan content and high disease-resistant performance were cultivated in Lhasa, which fully supported the yield-increasing potential of improved varieties.
According to statistics, there are more than 30 highland barley production enterprises in Lhasa. In addition to traditional Ciba making and highland barley brewing, more than 60 kinds of foods and drinks with health care functions such as highland barley rice, highland barley flour, highland barley tea and highland barley bread have been developed.
With the rich variety of highland barley products, highland barley is rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, fat and low sugar, which is increasingly favored by the market. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, Lhasa will continue to increase its support for the cultivation, processing and scientific research of highland barley and push the industrialization of highland barley to a new level.
