Abstract:
      To understand the wild forage plant resources in the southern agricultural area of the Junggar Basin, combing with relevant data, the wild forage plant resources in the southern agricultural area of the Junggar Basin were investigated, the family composition of the wild forage plants in the area, their life type and ecological characteristics were analyzed, and their palatability and nutritional value were examined. The results showed that there were 214 species of wild forage plants in 34 families, 145 genera, including Poaceae (71 species in 38 genera), Chenopodaceae (22 species in 18 genera), Asteraceae (21 species in 15 genera), Legumaceae (19 species in 14 genera), Amaranthaceae (11 species in 8 genera), and Cruciferous family (10 species in 8 genera). The life forms were mainly herbaceous plants (124 species in 1~2 years, 62 species in perennials), accounting for 86.92%, and 28 species of woody plants, accounting for 13.08%. The ecotype was mainly mesozoic (183 species). According to palatability, wild forage plants in this area were divided into four grades: excellent, good, medium and low, including 95 excellent species, 77 good species, 36 medium species and 6 low species. The forage plants with rich nutrient content and good palatability were mainly concentrated in Poaceae (21 species), leguminae (17 species) and Chenopodaceae (13 species).
