High Technology Promotes Xinjiang Cotton Harvest &Nbsp; &Nbsp; Output Can Reach 1 Million 500 Thousand Tons.

Li Ming, a large cotton farmer in Da Xi village, Xingping Township, Yuli County, Bazhou, is picking up flower pickers these days.

Li Ming, farmer of Da Xi village, Xingping Township, Yuli County, said: "my drip irrigation area is not less than 400 - 500 kg per mu yield, and 4000 yuan to 5000 yuan per mu."

Cotton farmers, like Li Ming, are rich and productive.

This year, Changji's machine picked cotton planted area accounted for 35.5% of the total sowing area, reaching 412 thousand acres. At the moment, the mechanized picking is in full swing and the picking progress is accelerating.

Zhou Lizhong, farmer of Chen Jia Qu village, six family town of Manasi County, said: "machine picked cotton has brought great benefits to me. Machine picked cotton saves time, saves labor, reduces costs and improves production."

This year, the autonomous region invested about 10000000 yuan to create a high yield of cotton, and promoted the technology of drip irrigation under mulch, soil testing and formulated fertilization, integrated pest management and other technologies. Meanwhile, about 1000000 farmers were trained to ensure that cotton production was cost effective.

Reporters learned from the agricultural sector of the autonomous region that the rate of excellent varieties of cotton reached more than 95%, and the high density cultivation area of cotton was 100%. The cotton planted under mulch drip irrigation accounted for 35% of the total planting area, which laid the foundation for the high yield and high yield of farmers.

With the orderly development of cotton picking in the north and south of Tianshan Mountains, all cotton purchasing enterprises will receive cash settlement.

Kader Maimaiti, a cotton grower in the Road factory village in gal Le Bagh Township, Sha Ya county, said: "yesterday, it sold 1 tons and sold for 10 thousand yuan. Today (October 3rd), it has pulled two and a half tons of cotton and removed the cost. My 52 Mu cotton is estimated to be able to sell more than 60 thousand yuan."

Li Deming, director of the cropping Management Department of the Agriculture Department of the autonomous region, said: "at present, all cotton picking in Xinjiang is widespread. We hope that the majority of cotton farmers will pick them according to the technical requirements, strictly prevent the introduction of three filaments and enhance the market competitiveness of Xinjiang's cotton market. Two, the agricultural departments at all levels should increase technical services and take effective measures to speed up cotton maturity."
