  This paper examines the transverse momentum spectra of baryons in the
multi-particle production at modern colliders using Quark-Gluon String Model
(QGSM). It discusses 1) the difference in \Lambda^0 hyperon spectra at
antiproton-proton vs. proton-proton reactions; 2) the growth of average
transverse momenta of \Lambda hyperon with proton-proton collision energies and
3) the dependence of average p_t on the masses of mesons and baryons at the LHC
energy 7 TeV. This analysis of baryon spectra led to the following conclusions.
First, the fragmentation of antidiquark-diquark side of the pomeron diagram
makes the major contribution to baryon production spectra in the asymmetric
antiproton-proton reaction. Second, the average p_t's of hyperons steadily grow
with energy on the range from 53 GeV to 7 TeV. Since no dramatic changes were
seen in the characteristics of baryon production, the hadroproduction processes
do not cause the "knee" in the cosmic ray proton spectra at the energies
between Tevatron and LHC.
