The horned bird is a modest garden decoration in a natural style. Horned Lotus Cultivation Technology in the Open Ground Growing from Seeds How to Grow Horned Lotus from Seeds

The horned bird is frost-hardy and winter-hardy. The horned bird is considered one of the best fodder grasses. Its hay is more nutritious than clover hay. The horned bird has high resistance to adverse weather conditions and high longevity: it can grow in one field for 5 years or more.

horned bird- most shade plant from perennial legume herbs. This gives him the opportunity to form dense grass stands, from which up to 30 tons of green mass per hectare can be collected in one mowing. Unlike clover, high temperatures horned loofah tolerates overheating well. The leaves of the Lotus Horned Lotus remain in good condition throughout the hot day.

Stem- ascending or ascending, sometimes recumbent. Their height is from 10 to 40 cm, and with good care and nutrition - from 60 to 80 cm. The stems form a dense bush. The number of shoots in the bush increases in the 3rd year of life.

Root- rod with powerful branched lateral roots. root system penetrates to a depth of up to 1.5 meters. The root neck is usually located at a depth of 1.5 to 2 cm.

Leaves- alternate, petiolate, trifoliate, with well-defined stipules.

Stipules- pointed, leaflets up to 15 mm. long, ovoid.

inflorescences- umbellate, usually five-flowered. The flowers are up to 15 mm long, and the color is bright yellow.

Bloom- long: it lasts from late spring to late autumn.

Fetus- straight multi-seeded bean, having a length of up to 25 mm and cracking when ripe.

Honeybees willingly collect nectar from the flowers of the horned loofah, but honey productivity is low: only up to 15 kg per hectare of solid crops.

seeds- dark brown in color and rounded.

The most widespread in Russia are the following varieties of horned loofah: Ray, Smolensky 1 and Sun.

horned bird differs in low demands on soils, it grows well on sandy and dry clay soils, can tolerate soil salinity, suitable even for sowing on acidic soils.

Sowing. Lotus horned is recommended to be sown in a mixture with other types of perennial grasses, and when sown in grass mixtures, the seeds of Lotus horned should be approximately 30% of the seeds of leguminous grasses. It is recommended to scarify the seeds of the Lotus Horned before sowing.

After sowing, it develops slowly from 1.5 to 2 months. Seedlings appear approximately 15-25 days after sowing. But already in the second year of life grows in early spring, and its vegetation continues until late autumn. In the non-flowering state, the horned locust is well eaten by animals. The horned bird reaches its greatest development in the 2nd - 3rd year of life.

Care. It comes down to weeding and loosening row spacing, as well as mulching.

Cleaning. If the Lotus Horned is sown in its pure form, it is harvested for hay before flowering.

Getting seeds. For the seeds of the horned lobe, you need to mow when the beans turn brown on the main shoots. Completely dried beans crack and release the seeds. The horned bird's eye, when harvested in a timely manner, yields from 300 to 400 kg of seeds per hectare.

I invite everyone to speak in

- kind of herbaceous perennials, which are characterized by a spring type of development, belonging to the legume family. He has a sprawling bush, the stems are thin, soft, 42-50 cm in height at the first cut, and at the second - 22-46 cm. In continuous crops, the tillering of the stems is quite high - 8 pieces, in sparse - 20-70 stems.

The stems are evenly and well leafy, do not coarsen. The leaves are lanceolate and oblong-ovate, bright green, with a fairly strong and powerful attachment to the stem of the plant, not pubescent, not crumbling when dried, compared with clover. Inflorescence - brush loose, bright yellow color. The fruit is a bean. One bean contains from 11 to 20 seeds. Seeds brown, rounded. The weight of 1,000 sunflower seeds is 1.10-1.20 grams. The root system has a pronounced main root, powerful.

advantages: promotes the restoration of soil fertility and structure, clears the fields from weeds, pests and pathogens of agricultural crops; able to give both the earliest and the latest food; can be used long time in farms; type of herbage - conveyor; can be used for cooking various kinds fodder: haylage, hay, grass meal, silage or for grazing; is an excellent honey plant; nitrogen is accumulated in the plow horizon due to fixation by bacteria; provides a large amount of mass of feed, which are characterized by high nutritional value with good digestibility and palatability.

used as a hay fodder and pasture plant. It has a high adaptability to soil and climatic conditions. Not demanding on soils, although it is oppressed on poorly breathable, heavy clay soils. Able to withstand competition, which is quite tough, wild meadow grasses and floods. characterized by high drought resistance, frost resistance and winter hardiness. It is not damaged by pests and is not affected by diseases. Contained in herbage up to 10-12 years.

It is able to stay in a productive herbage during haymaking (2 or 3 cuts) up to 8-9 years. AT spring time grows very early and fast. The duration of the period from regrowth in spring to the beginning of flowering is 1.5-2.5 months, for early ripe varieties - 38-55 days. Grows well after cutting. In the middle lane gives 2-3 mowing. With early spring uncovered sowing, when grown for fodder purposes, it is able to form a crop in the first year.

The green mass yields an average yield of 250-260 c/ha and 20-30 c/ha of hay. It has a high protein content - 20%. 100 kg of its green mass contains 25 kg of feed units and per. arch. - 4.5 kg, respectively, in 100 kg of hay - 68.4 kg and 15.1 kg. To compare, 100 kg of green mass of timothy grass contains 20-25 kg of feed. units and 1.9 kg per. prot., respectively, in 100 kg of hay - 50 kg and 5 kg. Willingly eaten by animals before flowering. In flower stalks, cyanogenic glucoside is formed in the flowering phase, it helps to reduce palatability. Glucoside decomposes during drying and slight drying, and hay is very well eaten by all animals.

In order to successfully cultivate the bird's eye, it is necessary to have a field clear of weeds, deep autumn plowing, careful spring pre-sowing cultivation, cutting and polishing (leveling) of the soil, mandatory rolling with annular or water-filled rollers before and after sowing. Neglect of post-sowing or pre-sowing rolling significantly reduces the field germination of Lotus Seeds. not able to tolerate deep seeding, sprouts very slowly if the soil is dried out by treatments and lumpy. On light soils, the sowing depth is 1-1.5 cm, on heavy soils - up to 1 cm. Lotus is sown not only in monoculture, but also in a mixture with herbs, cereals or legumes. Under such conditions receive food High Quality, for protein, as well as for other important components perfectly balanced.

Lotus sowing is carried out with the help of grain-grass seeders in a continuous way without cover or under the cover of the main (main) crop. If sowing is undercover, then it is necessary to provide for early harvesting of the main crop. There is a much worse removal of undercover crops, compared with uncovered ones. In monoculture, the seeding rate is 8-9 kg/ha. If missed spring term sowing, or in the case of an unprepared field, and there is a need to carry out a large number of treatments that will ensure the achievement of dense, finely cloddy soil and the death of weeds, it is more expedient to shift coverless sowing to summer period, but not later than the 2nd decade of July. Before sowing, the seeds must be scarified, treated with a solution of microelements (which contain molybdenum, boron), microbiological preparations that belong to the class Agate -25 K, Extrasol.

It is necessary to strictly monitor that there are no weeds on the site, since the seedlings are weak and tender, in the first year of life they are characterized by a slow rhythm of development. As weeds appear in the year of sowing, they are mowed down. The bird-foot is able to easily endure low and repeated mowing. Optimal timing harvesting are - for hay - the budding phase, not late start flowering 50% of the herbage, for silage - the budding phase.

responds well to the introduction of phosphorus-potassium and organic fertilizers. Harvested for seeds during the first 4 years. Cleaning can be done separately. After 4-6 days, the windrow is threshed by a combine harvester with a clover grater, well sealed. Seeds that meet standard standards give 1.8 c/ha. It is necessary immediately after the receipt of the heap to organize primary cleaning, and if necessary, then drying. Sorting of seeds is carried out on a Petkus or CM-4 machine.

It is necessary to carry out the harrowing of the crops of the Lotus after the harvest and in the spring.

Description

Botanical illustration from the book by O. V. Tome "Flora von Deutschland, Osterreich und der Schweiz", 1885

Inflorescence

Perennial with a long (up to 150 cm) taproot. The root system of the Lotus Horned is very powerful, well branched, the diameter of the root can reach 2 cm. The root neck is laid at a depth of 1.5-2.0 cm from the soil surface. The plant tolerates a temporary lack of moisture.

The stems are densely leafy, numerous, recumbent, ascending or ascending, 15-40 cm tall, averaging 25-30 cm. In culture, with good agricultural practices, it reaches 60-80 cm in height. The stems going up from the main axis of the bush form a dense rosette. Sometimes there are specimens with several root necks, giving secondary side shoots, why the bush becomes loose. The tillering ability of the Lotus horned is very large, it increases with the age of the plant; in the 3rd-4th year of life, there are from 180 to 240 shoots per bush.

The leaves are trifoliate, consist of 3 broadly obovate or obovate-lanceolate leaflets, 7-12 mm long and 4-10 mm wide. At the base of the petioles, there is a pair of large stipules of the same shape and size as the leaflets, therefore, some researchers consider the leaves of the lotus to be unpaired with 2 pairs of lateral leaflets, the lower pair of which is located at the base of the leaf and looks like stipules; alternate leaf arrangement. The length of the leaflets of medium stem leaves is less than 3 times the width.

Calyx glabrous to densely pubescent with hairs 0.1 to 1.2 mm long, semi-appressed to erect; its teeth usually have a wide base and a narrow subulate apex. The flowers are medium-sized, 9-16 mm long, bisexual, moth type, collected in loose umbrella heads of 5-6 pieces on average, located on relatively long peduncles. The corolla is bright yellow, sometimes the flag is orange, round-beam-shaped, narrowed towards the base. The boat is beak-shaped, sharply bent upwards.

Legumes are linear, straight, slightly arched, glabrous, with two ribs on the sides and a hooked nose at the end, many-seeded; their flaps after cracking are spirally twisted. Seeds are dark brown or brown, often marble-spotted, spherical or slightly flattened.

Chemical composition

The aerial part, collected before flowering, contains protein, the amount of which varies depending on the growing conditions and reaches 22-33%, 35% fat, 24% nitrogen-free extractives, 27.5% fiber. During the flowering period, the plant has a bitter taste, toxic, due to the presence of a cyanogenic glycoside that cleaves hydrocyanic acid. In the leaves before flowering, from 123 to 130 mg% of ascorbic acid and 5-8 mg% of carotene were found per wet weight.

The seeds contain 6.48% fatty oils, galactose, mannose, glucose, fructose are also found.

The plant contains the amino acid canavanin, higher fatty acid(lauric, myristic, tetradecanoic, palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, arachidic, behenic, lignoceric), lipids, phenolcarboxylic acids (n-coumaric, ferulic), flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, kaempferol 3,7-diramnoside, cormiculatin , quercetin, quercetagetin 7-methyl ester, gossipetin 3-galactoside, 7-0-methylgossepitin 3-galactoside, guayaverine, quercetin 3-galactoside, quercitrin, kaempferol 3,7-diglucoside, 3-B-D-glucosido-7-a -kaempferol rhamnoside, kaempferol heteroside, kaempferol 7-glucoside), carotenoids (alpha and beta), carotenes (xanthophyll, violaxanthin). The ash contains Ca - 1.170% and Mg - 0.455%.

Spreading

The range of the wild-growing Lotus Lotus lies in Eurasia from the Atlantic coast of Europe to Central Asia and from the Subarctic to Asia Minor and India. The plant has been introduced to America and Australia. Widespread in southern regions forest zone, in the forest-steppe and steppe zones the European part of Russia (except the Arctic), in Ukraine, in Belarus, Kazakhstan, occasionally found along the river banks of the mountainous regions of the Caucasus, Crimea and the mountainous part of Turkmenistan, on various heights to the middle mountain zone.

It is common in all natural and administrative regions of the Saratov Right Bank. In the Rtishchevsky district it is noted growing along the road in the area of ​​the Bumblebee grove.

Features of biology and ecology

Grows in dry meadows, steppe habitats and less commonly in steppes, pine forests, along heaths, river banks, rocks, limestone and chalk outcrops, often along roads, in garbage places, in parks, settlements, sometimes along fields. It is very rarely the dominant plant in the cenosis, more often it is only an admixture.

Blooms in June - July; fruits ripen in August - September.

Winter-hardy and wind-tolerant plant; can tolerate prolonged flooding, from 35 to 50 days.

Economic importance and application

In medicine

Medicinal raw material is a herb. The most pronounced medicinal properties appear when collecting plants in June, the smallest - in July and especially in September.

The plant has a wound-healing, emollient, analgesic, soothing, tonic and tonic effect.

Infusions and decoctions of the horned louse have an expectorant, anti-inflammatory effect. A decoction of the herb is used in folk medicine for catarrhs ​​of the upper respiratory tract, bronchitis, pneumonia and various colds.

In Ukraine, an infusion of herbs is drunk for rabies, as a lactagon. An infusion of the leaves is used as an astringent, in the Caucasus - for rabies. An infusion of flowers is drunk as a sedative, tonic in the convalescence phase, tonic in case of fatigue.

During the flowering period, the plant is poisonous, so care must be taken when using it internally.

In other areas

Cultivated in Russia, Western Europe, Northern and South America. There are varieties; in the USSR, selection work has been carried out since the 1940s.

The horned bird is one of the best forage grasses, it provides healthy and nutritious food. In a flowering state on pastures, cattle are not eaten due to the content of a bitter coloring matter in the flowers. In non-flowering - all types of farm animals eat it equally well. During the flowering period of the plant, cases of poisoning of animals are possible (more often - small cattle and geese).

It develops better than other legumes and gives good yields on poor soils. In the second and subsequent years of life, the horned lobe begins to grow very early in spring, blooms earlier than other legumes and vegetates until late autumn, remaining green; grazing resistant.

The horned bird bears well haying and grazing and in this respect is a good pasture and hay plant. It gives a delicate green mass; under favorable conditions, it can yield up to 40 c/ha. Average yield hay is 20-30 c/ha. In central Russia, when provided with heat and moisture, it gives 3 cuttings per year.

In hay, Lotus horned is eaten very well, and is also well eaten in silage. Toxic to animals in the flowering phase fresh, in hay and silage poisonousness disappears. When fed with hay, the animals gain weight and increase milk production. The horned bird gives milk a pleasant taste, and butter - a yellow color.

During flowering it is a good honey plant. Bees visit this plant well, collecting nectar and pollen, but not every year. Honey productivity of crops in different years life is 30-60 kg/ha.

Young beans are sometimes eaten. Flowers are used to make dyes that dye fabrics. yellow. ornamental plant, can be recommended as a substitute lawn grasses when landscaping slopes and fields in parks and gardens.

Apparently, this species received the name "horned" because of the shape of the boat, curved and pointed like a horn.

In the system of full-fledged feeding of animals, the provision of feed with protein is of paramount importance. Therefore, the task of increasing the production of vegetable protein is one of the actual problems contemporary Agriculture. The solution of the protein problem, to a certain extent, is also associated with the expansion of the range of legume perennial grasses due to their rare non-traditional species. Of the perennial legume species studied by us, the Lotus corniculatus L. is of great interest for the creation of agrocenoses with stable plant productivity and their stable adaptability to specific growing conditions.

Horned lollipop is widely distributed in the grasslands of the USA, Canada, in some regions Western Europe, as well as Russia. This is a perennial spring type of development, legume family. It is eaten by animals in a non-flowering state. Therefore, before flowering, it is used as a pasture crop, and from the beginning of flowering, as a hay crop. In the mass flowering phase, glucosides accumulate in plants, which give the grass a bitter taste. However, even with a short drying of the mass, glucosides decompose and the food is readily eaten by all kinds of animals.

Due to its high resistance to trampling and the ability to keep its green mass for a long time, the horned lotus can be used to create long-term pastures and for grazing until late autumn. It can also be included in grass mixtures when natural fodder lands are grassed, especially on eroded marginal lands, where clover and alfalfa develop relatively worse.

The green mass of the Lotus, due to its fine stems and high foliage, in terms of overall nutritional value and protein content, exceeds the indicators of red clover. Leafiness in the phase of cutting ripeness reaches 57-60%. The horned bird is distinguished by high winter hardiness, sufficient drought tolerance, productive longevity, resistance to trampling and undemanding to soils. It tolerates soil acidity quite well and is a real competitor to clovers.

Taking into account the above-mentioned advantages, this crop is of great value for agricultural production and its use, in particular, in the field of fodder production, should attract special attention of specialists. But in order for the lotus to boldly enter the fodder field of the republic's farms, seeds are needed. The main direction of increasing the production of seeds of Lotus horned, as well as other types of grasses, is to increase its yield through the widespread use of highly productive, adapted to local conditions varieties and their cultivation strictly according to the recommended technologies.

When developing the basic techniques for the cultivation of Lotus horned for seeds, we studied the sowing dates - early spring and summer; sowing methods - continuous, wide-row with row spacing: 30, 45, 60 cm; seeding rates - 8 and 10 kg/ha; the influence of bacterial, as well as macro- and microfertilizers on the seed productivity of the Lotus horned.

Picture. A plant of a horned bird's eye variety Fakel.

The study of the timing and methods of sowing Lotus Horned showed that the most favorable conditions for the growth, development and formation of seed productivity for the second and subsequent years of life, the seed herbage is created when sowing in early spring in a continuous ordinary way. Sowing in early spring ensures the appearance of friendly seedlings, allows you to maintain optimal density, as well as the safety of plants. The maximum yield of 3.8 c/ha was collected from early spring solid crops, while the seed productivity of early spring wide-row sowing with row spacings of 30, 45, 60 cm was somewhat lower and, respectively, amounted to 3.7; 3.2; 2.6 q/ha (Table 1).

With an increase in the distance between the rows, the seed yield decreases both in early spring and summer crops. The decrease in the seed productivity of the Lotus Horned Lotus on wide-row crops is associated with its high lodging, the prolongation of the fruiting phase, and the uneven formation and maturation of seeds.

We have studied seeding rates of 8 and 10 kg/ha for continuous and wide-row sowing with row spacings of 30, 45 cm. optimal rate is 8 kg/ha. These grass stands formed the highest seed yield, averaging 4.7 centners per hectare over five years.

With a wide-row sowing method with row spacing of 30 cm, the highest yield was also formed at a seeding rate of 8 kg/ha. With an increase in the seeding rate and the expansion of row spacing, the yield decreases (table 2).

One of the advantages of the Lotus horned is the symbiotic fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, when sowing is done with inoculated seeds, moreover, with a specific strain - Rhizobium lotus. Sowing with inoculated seeds against the background of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers under the conditions of our experiment contributed to an increase in seed productivity by 12.5% ​​compared to sowing without inoculation.

The horned bird, as a legume that feeds on nitrogen symbiotrophically, makes high demands on the availability of phosphorus and potassium. In the case of low phosphorus content in the soil, nodule bacteria penetrate the plant root, but nodules are not formed. Air nitrogen fixation occurs with the participation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main integral part of which is phosphorus. With a lack of phosphorus, little ATP is formed and air nitrogen is poorly fixed. For active nitrogen fixation, carbohydrates must be constantly supplied from the leaves to the nodules, the movement of which in the plant is facilitated by potassium. This explains the increased need of legumes, including the horned lobe in phosphorus and potassium, and their high responsiveness to the application of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. As the results of our studies have shown, the use of bacterial and phosphorus-potassium fertilizers at a dose of 90 and 60 kg/ha, respectively, contributed to the formation of seed yields on average for 1995-1998 and 2005-2008. at 3.7 c/ha, while on the unfertilized plot and sowing without seed inoculation, this figure was 3.2 c/ha with a crop shortfall of 15.6%.

Along with the use of macro fertilizers, a significant reserve for increasing the yield of Lotus horned seeds is the use of micro fertilizers, in particular, boron and molybdenum. The use of boron stimulates the processes of fertilization and fruit formation of this crop. Boron also promotes the absorption nutrients, reducing the fall of flowers. Molybdenum fertilizers contribute to a significant improvement in the elements of the structure of the crop of the seed Lotus Horned Lotus, and, as a result, to obtain good harvest seeds. The action of boron-molybdenum fertilizers against the background of P90K60 is manifested primarily in the formation more beans. Thus, the use of boron and molybdenum against the background of P90K60 contributed to the formation and production of 3.9 c/ha of seeds with an increase of 1.2 c/ha or 40.7% to the control (table 3).

Sowing with seeds treated with boron against the background of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers provided a yield of 3.6 c/ha, and with molybdenum - 3.7 c/ha.

As a result of many years of breeding research, we have also created a variety of Lotus horned Fakel, which in 2015 was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements for cultivation in the Russian Federation.

Thus, the results of many years of research allow us to conclude that it is expedient to process seed material bacterial preparation, boron-molybdenum fertilizers and sowing them against the background of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers at a dose of P90K60. Due to this, seed productivity increases by 1.2 c/ha or 40.7% with a control yield of 2.7 c/ha. It is most effective to produce seed crops of Lotus Horned in the early spring, in a continuous and wide-row way with a row spacing of 30 cm and a seeding rate of 8 kg/ha.
