Grassland science is an ancient and young major. Ancient, because it was rooted in the earth long before human civilization, and it is the material basis of agriculture and animal husbandry; Young, because Mr. Dong Wang, a herbalist of the older generation in China, has offered courses in major agricultural colleges (Gansu Agricultural University, Guizhou University (formerly Guizhou Agricultural College), Nanjing Agricultural College, etc.). ) After returning to England.
Strictly speaking, grassland science is a new interdisciplinary subject. It focuses on herbivore forage production, urban greening and ecological management, uses modern biotechnology to cultivate new varieties of grass seeds, studies the technical system of high-quality and high-yield grassland construction and management, creates a new pattern of people-oriented urban greening and landscaping, explores ways and means of ecological management in the western region, and realizes the industrialization of grass industry in China. In particular, agriculture has entered a new period of development, and the proportion of grass in agriculture will become larger and larger. As a country with grassland resources second only to Australia in the world, China has learned from the agricultural production experience of developed countries in the world. Grass industry plays an important role in China's agricultural structure adjustment, western ecological environment management, urban greening and beautification, improving environmental quality and so on, and has broad prospects in the future national economic construction.
