本刊今年第四期曾呼吁人们注意农作物中的“小字辈”即小杂粮的研究和栽培,先后刊登了芝麻、绿豆栽培技术材料,现再发表两篇有关荞麦的文章。荞麦用途广泛,有特殊的营养价值。目前荞麦产量很低,主要原因一是没有优良品种,二是栽培管理粗放。我们希望农业科技工作者早日培育出高产荞麦新品种,研究出荞麦高产技术,尽早改变荞麦生产的落后状况。 This issue of the fourth issue of this year has called for people to pay attention to the study and cultivation of “minor characters” in crops, that has published technical materials for sesame and mung bean cultivation and published two articles on buckwheat. Buckwheat has many uses and special nutritional value. At present, the output of buckwheat is very low, one of the main reasons is that there are no fine varieties and the other is extensive cultivation and management. We hope that agricultural scientists and technologists will soon cultivate new varieties of high-yield buckwheat and research buckwheat high-yielding techniques so as to change the backwardness of buckwheat production as early as possible.
