Why is the sweet and nutritious selenium melon "partially banned"? What is the reason?

Can you imagine what plants can grow in the Gobi? Gobi in Mongolian means land that is difficult to grow vegetation; In Uighur, it means desert; This is also a geographical phenomenon, and the sand is mixed with pebbles and sand.

The representative crops in Gobi are Populus euphratica, Populus Xinjiang and Betula platyphylla.

In fact, watermelon can be planted in Gobi for a long time through agricultural research and development.

Once upon a time, Gobi watermelon was all the rage, with an annual profit of 2 billion, which made many people embark on the road of supporting their families and getting rich.

However, it is this rich Gobi watermelon that is forbidden to grow locally by the state.

Let's learn about Gobi watermelon together.

Gobi watermelon, as its name implies, refers to watermelon planted in Gobi, also called selenium sand melon.

Selenium melons grow in cracks in stones and do not need to be sprayed with pesticides.

Planting begins from April to May and matures from July to September. Selenium sand melons are very big, each of which is at least 30 kilograms.

Moreover, the fresh-keeping time of selenium melon is as long as two months, which is convenient for long-distance transportation and saves the fresh-keeping cost.

How is selenium sand melon planted? Selenium sand melon only needs to be sown in the Gobi desert or even in the crevices of stones, without spreading fertilizer.

Selenium melon is very environmentally friendly, pure natural and pollution-free.

For melon farmers, this is very easy, selenium sand melon does not need to be taken care of, leaving only two links: sowing and picking.

Selenium melon has many benefits.

Selenium sand melon, as its name implies, is rich in trace elements such as selenium and zinc.

Selenium melon contains a lot of glucose, vitamins and trace elements.

It has high nutritional value and can resist cancer and aging.

Selenium sand melon has the title of "the sweetest melon on the Gobi Desert".

Selenium sand melon can also reduce swelling, because there is a lot of water in melon, which is beneficial to human absorption.

The taste of selenium sand melon is very good, and the rustling taste and refreshing sweetness at the entrance have conquered the diners.

In addition, selenium sand melon is big and has a long preservation time. If you can't eat it, you can save it and eat it another day.

The planting of selenium sand melon has helped to help the poor and help the farmers get rich to a certain extent. For example, the number of large melon farmers in Zhongwei, Ningxia has increased, and the economy has also increased to a certain extent, reducing the pressure on the government to help the poor.

Why is such a good melon banned by the government and asked for a partial ban?

Let's find out why.

Everyone has the impression that the Gobi Desert is dry, with many deserts and few green plants.

In fact, the soil erosion in the Gobi Desert is very serious. The plants planted on the Gobi desert are to consolidate the soil and prevent soil erosion. Once lost, the lost soil will be blown to the Yellow River or Loess Plateau by the wind, so sandstorms often occur in these areas.

Planting selenium melon in Gobi desert has three main hazards, but it is also fatal.

First of all, it will aggravate soil erosion.

Plants will absorb water and nutrients from the land. Plants planted in Gobi desert or desert are usually drought-tolerant and easy to feed, such as Haloxylon ammodendron, which does not need much land and does little harm to the land.

The planting of selenium sand melon will absorb a lot of water and nutrients from the Gobi desert soil, which will lead to serious soil erosion in the Gobi desert, an increase in sandstorms in the central region and an increase in severe weather such as sandstorms.

Secondly, it will destroy the Gobi desert landscape.

Planting selenium melon on the Gobi desert will aggravate soil erosion, destroy the mountain landform of the Gobi desert to a certain extent, change the landform of the Gobi desert, and increase the difficulty of controlling the Gobi desert in the future, leading to changes in the ecological environment, increasing the response cost of the environmental department and increasing the difficulty and pressure of the environmental department.

Third, it will aggravate land desertification.

Selenium sand melon will absorb a lot of nutrients and water on the Gobi desert. Without nutrients and fertility in the land, it is difficult to grow other plants in the future, even plants that are easy to survive, such as Haloxylon ammodendron.

Over time, there were no crops on the land, and the wind and sand could not be prevented, and the land became a desert. Over time, this land will become a desert.

Coupled with the effect of wind, severe weather such as sandstorm will increase, at the same time, the soil volume and turbidity in the Yellow River basin will increase, and the sand volume in the Loess Plateau will increase. By then, it will be more difficult to control the Yellow River Basin and the Loess Plateau.

The planting of selenium sand melon will aggravate the desertification of land and hinder the development of windbreak and sand fixation.

Although selenium sand melon is good, it is harmful to the overall ecological environment.

For the sake of sustainable development and future generations, we can't abandon the ecological environment to satisfy our appetite.

Planting selenium sand melon on the already arid Gobi desert leads to serious soil erosion, changes the mountain landform and intensifies land desertification.

We can't forget the ecological significance for petty gain.

This is why the government issued a partial planting ban.

I hope the Gobi desert can be managed as soon as possible and give us an oasis. I hope our ecological environment will be better.
