Speaking of invasive species, I think most of my friends are very annoying, especially farmers, because most of these invasive species are weeds, and once they grow into crops such as fields, orchards and economic areas, it is bound to reduce the production of crops and cash crops or even no harvest, resulting in the hard work of farmers' friends, so the weeds of these invaders are extremely annoying. However, there are always some exceptions, some invasive weeds are not only not hated by farmers, but also become farmers'"cash cow". Below, the author will share with you one of these invasive weeds.

Sunflower potato is one of the many invasive plants. When it comes to it, many friends may not have many friends, but many friends may have heard its other name, that is, "Panax notoginseng". It is believed that many farmers in the south have heard of Panax notoginseng, which is another name for the invasive plant.

Sunflower potato is native to Southeast Asia and South America. It was introduced into China from Southeast Asia in the 1970s and later escaped into a weed. When it first entered China, it grew very fast and could grow as long as several meters because it had no natural enemies. Moreover, it is still wrapped around lianas, making crops and fruit trees often covered by it, resulting in disasters.

However, what is unexpected is that this kind of alien invasive weeds, which are growing very fast and easy to cause disasters, have become a kind of "cash cow" for farmers in our country.

The young leaves of sunflower potato are a kind of first-class wild vegetable (now a vegetable). It is easy to cultivate fewer diseases and insect pests, high nutrition, good taste, and rich in vitamin An and vitamin C. In addition, the sunflower potato also has a very high medicinal value. according to records, the bulbs, leaves and roots of the sunflower potato can be used as medicine, with the functions of nourishing, strengthening the waist and knees, dissipating phlegm, promoting blood circulation, invigorating the stomach and protecting the liver, and so on. therefore, it has become a natural green health care and medicinal food.

It is precisely because of these values that some nimble people began to plant them specially. It is understood that the sweet potato has the characteristics of fast growth and high yield. Basically, it can be harvested at any time more than 30 days after planting, but it enters the peak period after 2 months. On average, each plant can pick 300 to 400 leaves per month, which can be picked in four seasons. Moreover, it is a perennial vine that can be harvested for several years. The most important is the sunflower potato and easy to cultivate fewer diseases and insect pests, can be extensive management, it is very easy to worry.

According to the introduction of farmers who grow sunflower potatoes, 3000 sunflower potatoes can be planted per mu of land. With good management, about 3000 kilograms of sunflower potato leaves can be harvested a year, but now the price of sunflower potato leaves on the market is about 20 yuan per jin. In addition to leaves, the bulbs on the stems of sunflower potatoes are 80 yuan per jin, so apart from the cost, they can earn about 50, 000 yuan a year, and can be harvested for many years. Therefore, Luokui potato can be regarded as a "cash cow" for farmers' friends.
