紫草就是“爱国草”。“爱国草”是由朝鲜传入我国的。我们过去对爱国草的情况了解不多,这方面的资料也很少。从目前看,国外对爱国草的评价分岐很大,好象美国对此曾经发生过一场辩论。兹将美国《作物与土壤》杂志1976年10月号登载的一篇文章《紫草奇迹还是海市蜃楼》译出供有关同志参考。这篇文章对紫草是完全否定的,我们并不赞成绝对否定的态度,但其中有些资料是有参考价值的。 Lithospermum is “patriotic grass.” Patriotic grass is introduced into our country by North Korea. In the past, we did not know much about the situation in Patriotic Grassland and there was very little information on this. Judging from the current situation, the evaluation of patriotic grass abroad is very different, as if the United States had a debate on this. The article “Crops and soils” published in the October 1976 issue of “Crops and soils” is hereby translated as “Miracles or Miracles” for reference by the relevant comrades. This article is completely rejected Lithospermum, we do not agree with the absolute negative attitude, but some of the information is of reference value.
