随着世界人口的迅速增长,先进农业国家以至发展中农业国家对新粮食资源的研究越来越给予重视。1975年美国国家科学院开展了粮食新资源的开拓研究,曾筛选出粮食饲料兼用的籽粒苋作为最有开发前景的作物;其他许多国家也做了大量工作。现将籽粒芡的种类、利用等情况简介如下,以供参考。 (一)籽粒苋的种类和特性籽粒苋为芡科(Amaranthaceae)苋属(Ama-ranthus)一年生草本植物。苋科约60属850种,我国有12属约39种。按用途不同,苋种可分粒 With the rapid growth of the world’s population, research on new food resources in advanced agricultural countries and even in developing agricultural countries has drawn more and more attention. In 1975, the National Academy of Sciences conducted a pioneering study on new grain resources. It has screened out grain amaranth as the most promising crop for both grain and feed. Many other countries have also done a great deal of work. Now the type of grain,, utilization, etc. are as follows, for reference.
