Economic crops suitable for dryland cultivation Crops grown in arid areas

The barren land is dry land, so you can grow some bitter buckwheat, lotus root, corn, and potatoes and sweet potatoes . Because the above crops are relatively drought-resistant, you can still get a certain harvest even if you rely on the weather.

Because these crops can grow without watering, if there is too much rain, it will be bad for the growth of these crops. Therefore, it is more appropriate to grow these crops in dry land.

1. Planting lotus roots in dry land

This is a new and efficient lotus root planting technology that can not only keep water in the field, preserve fertilizer, and prevent water infiltration, but also prevent the lotus root from growing underground.

In this way, it is not only water-saving and convenient, but also makes lotus root planting free from dependence on water, and realizes the dry planting of lotus roots in water, and the suitable planting area is continuously expanded. Because the area of ​​lotus root planting in dry land can be large or small, it is easy to manage, requires little investment, has quick results, and benefits every year. Generally, the yield of lotus root per mu can reach 5,000 kilograms. Of course, the mastery of technology plays a big decisive factor.

2. Planting Tartary Buckwheat on Dry Land

It has a short growth period, is drought-resistant and barren-resistant, and is rich in bioflavonoids, making it an important health food resource. The annual planting area in China is 5 million to 6 million mu, with a total output of 600,000 to 650,000 tons. With the development and utilization of bitter buckwheat food, the planting area has a tendency to expand across the country.

In order to give full play to the role of buckwheat in stabilizing grain production and increasing income in mountainous arid lands and cold mountainous areas, and to give full play to the advantages of buckwheat in crop rotation, soil fertilization, and increasing farmers' income, we will help adjust the agricultural structure.

3. Planting corn in dry land

Take Heilongjiang as an example. It is located in the northernmost, easternmost and highest latitude part of China. Therefore, according to my country's corn planting zoning, Heilongjiang belongs to the northern spring-sown corn area.

According to Heilongjiang's rainfall, climate, natural resources and other factors, the corn grown in our province is dryland corn. Dryland corn accounts for a large proportion of corn planting in my country, and the annual output is increasing year by year.
