Cotton sowing is in full swing on 1.1249 million acres of Aksu City

As the ground temperature rises, 1.1249 million acres of cotton in Aksu City, Xinjiang has officially entered the spring sowing stage. In the fields, modern large-scale agricultural machinery shuttles sowing, using scientific and technological means to assist cotton sowing, greatly improving the level of agricultural modernization. Let cotton farmers save worry and effort and increase their income.

On March 29, at the Tianhai Village Cotton Breeding Base of the Liuyuan Farm Area Management Committee of Aksu City, an unmanned high-power cotton seeder equipped with a navigation system was operating in an orderly manner. The farmer Chen Yong was taking his employees to check Cotton trenching, seeding and film laying, etc. Relying on the accurate Beidou satellite navigation and positioning, not only can precise sowing be carried out according to the preset sowing route, but also the entire process of laying drip irrigation tapes and mulching films can be mechanized, with a linear error of no more than 2 centimeters. Compared with traditional sowing methods, not only can cotton be saved. More than 50% of the crops are planted, which also improves land utilization and facilitates later mechanized field operations and picking.

Chen Yong, a farmer from Tianhai Village of the Liuyuan Farm Area Management Committee of Aksu City, said: “I planted 800 acres of cotton and finished the sowing in about 6 days using an unmanned high-power cotton seeder. Now I have to plow the land. From sowing, fertilizing to spraying and harvesting, cotton is all done by machines. This year, dry sowing and wet sowing are used, which has also brought many benefits to our farmers, saving manpower and material resources, and also saving us costs. The saving per mu of land is about 300 to 400 yuan.”

Similarly, in the cotton field of Chen Xiaoping, a farmer in Yongxing Village of the Liuyuan Farm Area Management Committee of Aksu City, large-scale plows and land preparation machines operate simultaneously, and deep plowing of the land is one of the technical measures to increase production that Aksu City has promoted in recent years. , Chen Xiaoping used high-horsepower tractors and applied subsoiling technology to make the cotton fields reach the seven-character standard of “moisture, flatness, looseness, crushing, cleanness, neatness, and straightness”. At the same time, the soil structure was reasonably optimized and the soil permeability was increased. , improve soil water storage capacity, improve soil structure and fertility, promote cotton root growth, and increase yield.

“I have planted 100 acres of cotton this year. Now it only takes half a day to plow, harrow and sow. A high-power tractor is good for precise sowing.” Yongxing Village, Liuyuan Farm Area Management Committee, Aksu City Farmer Chen Xiaoping said happily.

Li Jiasi, an agricultural and rural cadre of Yongxing Village of the Liuyuan Farm Area Management Committee of Aksu City, said: “This year our Yongxing Village is expected to plant 100,000 acres of cotton, and coordinate more than 120 large machinery, from surrounding group farms and Aksu City Our own agricultural machinery cooperatives in the surrounding areas coordinate pesticides and fertilizers to ensure the normal operation of spring plowing.”

In order to do a good job in cotton sowing this year, the Aksu Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organized professional technicians to provide door-to-door agricultural machinery maintenance services, go deep into the fields to provide technical guidance, and coordinate agricultural input dealers to ensure the supply of agricultural inputs and provide full technical guidance services. , to achieve refined and mechanized sowing. In recent years, with the construction of high-standard farmland in the city, the implementation of high-efficiency water-saving projects and the support of agricultural machinery subsidies, land transfer and other policies, small fields have been transformed into large fields, intensive management has been carried out, and the mechanization level of the cotton production process has been continuously improved. Cotton earnings also increased.

Yusu Fujiang Yasheng, deputy director of the Agricultural Technology Extension Center of Aksu Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, said: At present, the soil moisture in various towns and villages in Aksu City is sufficient, and it is expected that the city will complete sowing on April 20. At the same time, farmers are guided to use preferred seeds and mulch for planting, and various large-scale machinery are coordinated for efficient and convenient mechanized planting, so that farmers can save time and effort, increase production and income while planting scientifically.

This year, Aksu City plans to plant 113,800 acres of long-staple cotton and 1,011,100 acres of upland cotton. During the spring plowing preparation period, 21,500 agricultural machinery of various types were overhauled in the city, and 9,000 sets of various machinery were invested in cotton production. The mechanization rate of harrowing, plowing, sowing, and cultivating reached 100%, and the mechanical mining rate reached over 90%.
