一前言我国是苧麻的起源中心。江西是我国苧麻的主要产区。据记载,在十一世纪我省就有苧麻栽培,并在不少地方发现有近缘野生、半野生苧麻。我省麻区分布面积广,栽培历史悠久,品种资源极为丰富。这些品种,是选育新品种的基本材料。五十年代,我所同有关部门紧密配合,在全省范围内开展了第一次苧麻品种资源调查工作,搜集到农家品种86份,近缘半野生种1份,并进行了初步整理归并、分类和利用的研究。近十多年来,由于林彪、“四人帮”的干扰破坏,使苧麻品种资源保存和研究工作,受到很大损失。粉碎“四人帮”后,我省又进行了第二次苧麻品种资源的搜集工作,在省农业局领导下,从各地农科所和主要产麻县抽调科技人员,组成全省苧麻品种资源调查搜集组,将过去遗漏或丢失的农家品种,重新调查征集,仅以三个半月时间,分别到了 A foreword Our country is the origin of ramie. Jiangxi is the main producing area of ​​China’s ramie. According to records, there is ramie cultivation in our province in the eleventh century and there are many wild ramie found in many places. Ma Districts in our province has a wide distribution area, a long history of cultivation and extremely rich variety of resources. These varieties, is the basic material for breeding new varieties. In the 1950s, I worked closely with relevant departments to carry out the first survey of ramie variety resources in the whole province, collected 86 farmland varieties and 1 semi-wild relatives, and conducted preliminary consolidation and merger. Classification and utilization of research. In the past decade or so, due to the interference and destruction caused by Lin Biao and the “gang of four,” great efforts were made to preserve and research the ramie variety resources. After the smashing of the “Gang of Four,” our province also conducted a second collection of ramie variety resources. Under the leadership of the Provincial Bureau of Agriculture, scientific and technological personnel were deployed from various agricultural institutes and major producing areas in the country to collect ramie variety resources in the province Group, past missing or missing farm varieties, re-investigation collection, only three and a half months, respectively, to
