一、人工种植麻黄草的意义麻黄草是提取麻黄素的唯一原料。随着麻黄素类产品的不断开发利用,麻黄素成为最畅销的医药半成品。到目前为止,新疆先后筹建了十余家麻黄素厂,年需草量十万多吨。托克逊县麻黄厂年需草量近万吨,而现有的(能被利用的品种)自然麻黄草年产量约4千吨,主要分布于通沟,乌斯通沟,祖日木沟,克克乃克及巩巴沟等山区。实际年收草量已由前几年的2—3千吨下降到1995年的1千吨,绝大部分从外地调运。产量下降的主要原因是无组织无规律地开采,造成资源严重破坏。如 First, the significance of artificial planting Ephedra Ephedra is the only raw material for the extraction of ephedrine. With the continuous development and utilization of ephedrine products, ephedrine has become the best-selling pharmaceutical semi-finished product. So far, Xinjiang has set up more than a dozen ephedrine plants, weighing about 100,000 tons annually. The annual production capacity of the plant in Tokex County for ephedra is nearly 10,000 tons, while the existing (available varieties) natural annual production of ephedra is about 4,000 tons, mainly distributed in the gully, the Ustong gully, , Grams of grams and Gongba ditch and other mountains. The actual annual grass yield has dropped from 2-3 kilotons in previous years to 1 kiloton in 1995, with the vast majority transferred from other places. The main reason for the decline in production was the irregular mining of tissues, resulting in serious damage to resources. Such as
