After the beginning of summer, as the temperature gradually rises, cotton sown in various parts of the region has gradually entered the emergence stage.
On May 9, in Tunguzibashi Village, Tamutogelak Township, Xinhe County, cotton farmer Xu Duhai came to the cotton field early in the morning to check the emergence of cotton seedlings, and saw only bright green plants. Cotton seedlings have emerged from the ground and are growing well.
“In the past, when cotton was sown using the traditional method, the emergence rate would be good if it could reach 80%. This year I used the ‘dry sowing and wet seeding’ sowing technology, and the cotton emergence rate reached over 95%. This new sowing technology Technology is really a benefit to our cotton farmers,” Xu Duhai said happily.
This year, Xinhe County plans to plant 800,000 acres of cotton. In order to save water resources and reduce planting costs, the county has adopted the “dry sowing and wet seeding” sowing technology to plant 35,000 acres of cotton. Not only has the sowing been completed ahead of schedule, tasks, and the seedling emergence rate reached more than 90%, achieving “one sowing for all seedlings”.
Ma Zhongqiang, director of the Agricultural Technology Extension Center of the Xinhe County Agricultural and Rural Affairs Bureau, said that through field surveys, the emergence rate of cotton grown using the “dry sowing and wet seeding” sowing technology has increased significantly compared with previous years, and will further improve in the future. Strengthen technical guidance and services, and strive to enable growers to become proficient in this planting technology.
It is understood that the cotton “dry sowing and wet out” sowing technology uses drip irrigation belts to introduce moisture to promote early emergence of seedlings without winter irrigation and spring irrigation. This not only saves irrigation water in cotton fields, but also The goal of uniform, strong and even cotton seedlings has been achieved. As a major cotton planting area, the region plans to plant 7.2 million acres of cotton this year, of which 350,000 acres will be planted on a trial basis using the “dry sowing and wet seeding” sowing technology.
The relevant person in charge of the planting section of the regional agriculture and rural bureau said that the promotion of cotton “dry sowing and wet seeding” sowing technology has increased the cotton seedling emergence rate from about 80% in the past to more than 95%, achieving an increase in cotton production. , the purpose of increasing income of cotton farmers.
The “dry sowing and wet seeding” sowing technology has been recognized by the majority of cotton farmers once it was promoted. “I used the ‘dry sowing and wet sowing’ sowing technology for the first time this year. I didn’t expect the cotton seedling emergence rate to be so high. I plan to use this technology to expand the cotton planting area next year.” Si Sayrat, Awati County Fengsheng Area Management Committee Mao Wulanjiang Abulati, a cotton farmer in the village, said.
Wang Tongren, director of the Agricultural Technology Extension Center of the Awati County Agricultural and Rural Affairs Bureau, said that this year the county used “dry sowing and wet seeding” sowing technology to plant 150,000 acres of cotton. From field surveys, the cotton emergence rate An increase of ten percentage points.
Increasing cotton production and income is crucial to the cotton farmers in the region. This year, in accordance with the general requirements of “reduce area, optimize layout, increase unit yield, save water, increase efficiency, and stabilize total output”, the region will optimize the cotton planting layout while promoting the “one main and one auxiliary” seed use model, and pilot promotion of cotton The “dry sowing and wet planting” sowing technology has laid a solid foundation for farmers to increase production and income.
According to statistics, as of May 5, all cotton planting in the region has been completed, and the coverage rate of high-quality cotton seed patterns has reached more than 85%. Among them, the pilot planting area of cotton “dry sowing and wet planting” sowing technology reached 430,000 acres, completing 122% of the plan. Judging from the feedback from counties (cities) on the sowing situation, the pilot cotton fields using the “dry sowing and wet out” sowing technology have saved 90% of spring irrigation water compared with previous years, and the cotton seedling emergence rate has also improved a lot.
