I am mad for "sand dates", and Xinjiang researchers have cultivated 6 new types of sand dates for more than 10 years

Tianshan News (Reporter Cao Hua reported) "Xinjiang has three treasures, dates, sea buckthorn and licorice." Recently, good news came from the sand dates, one of the three treasures. Among the first batch of the rights of new plant varieties in 2022 released by the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau, the six new types of sand dates selected by the Xinjiang Academy of Forestry Sciences were selected. This is also this. Xinjiang has obtained the most of the new varieties of forest and grass plants over the years, laying a foundation for accelerating the promotion planting and industrialization development of the dates in our district.

It is understood that the six new varieties of sand dates are Yaofeng, Jinsha, Bai Sha Tian, ​​Red Jade, Red Bell, and Golden Queen, all of which are large fruit sand dates, from the southern Xinjiang region, and researchers of Xinjiang Academy of Forestry Sciences have been in Continuous tracking observations, experiments, and research, these 6 new types of sand dates are selected from more than 20 kinds of large fruit sand dates, which have the characteristics of drought resistance, salt resistance, strong disease resistance, good taste, and yield.

"Sand jujube is a kind of tree that is suitable for growing in the arid area. It is generally distributed in northern my country. Because it has the characteristics of drought resistance and saline -tolerant, it is often growing in places with poor environmental conditions, such as saline -alkali land, farmland, roads, roads, roads Beside is a kind of ecological tree species with strong vitality, which has the functions of windproof and sand and improve the soil. "Luo Qinghong, a researcher at the Forestry Crimine Research Institute of the Xinjiang Academy of Forestry Sciences, said that dates have both ecological and economic benefits, but people have always seen more for people to see more It is its ecological effect and ignores the use of economic benefits. Many studies have shown that dates are not only nutritious, but also contain sugar, protein and vitamins. At the same time, the value of medicinal value is also obvious. Diseases, various uses of dates have been widely valued at home and abroad, and have become one of the main afforestation trees in the Northwest.

In the more than ten years of studying sand dates in Xinjiang Academy of Forestry Sciences, the Xinjiang dates resource survey was completed. Based on this, the breeding and cultivation of new varieties was selected throughout the country, and the cultivation of six new varieties was finally completed to obtain new plant rights. "The name of these 6 big fruit sand dates is named by our research team. Generally, it is named after the characteristics of the foundation+appearance. Sa' 'was found in Shache County because the color of the sand dates was golden.' Red bells' is because the fruit is red and the shape looks like a sharp bell. "Luo Qinghong said.

According to reports, Xinjiang's sand dates are mainly distributed in the southern Xinjiang area, mainly farmers' personal cultivation, and there is no large -scale deep processing. It is mainly based on family courtyards and road farmland.

"While carrying out resource mining, the cultivation and promotion of new excellent varieties, we are also trying the food processing and production of dates. At present, the production and processing technologies of some foods have made breakthroughs and accumulation. The production line. "Luo Qinghong introduced that the team has selected three new species of Sand Jujube species to apply for the right to specifically specifies the gifted region of the autonomous region to prepare for the next promotion. Due to excellent drought resistance and saline -tolerant characteristics, dates will not occupy cultivated land resources in future promotion and planting. It can be planted in areas such as poor environmental conditions such as deserted beaches. Ecological effects can also develop deep -processed industries such as juice and winemaking. It has the potential to create another special dry fruit tree species in Xinjiang, and is expected to become the "three -win" tree species with both ecological, economic and social benefits.
