Aksu: Continuous cooling and rain for many days may affect cotton production
According to feedback from field surveys, in August, due to the cooling and rainy weather that lasted for more than 20 days, insufficient light resulted in a small number of rotten peaches, premature senescence, and withered red leaves and stems in some cotton fields of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments of the 1st Division. Diseases and other conditions may affect boll weight and thus cotton yield.
At present, among the plots visited, about 30% of the cotton fields have 1-2 fruit branches sprouting at the bottom, less than 20% of the cotton fields have 3-4 fruit branches at the bottom, and about 50% of the cotton fields have sporadic sprouts. . Local cotton farmers said that if the temperature rises later, field management will mainly focus on preventing premature aging and increasing boll weight based on the growth of cotton fields. The time for spraying defoliants is expected to be around September 15th to 20th, which is slightly earlier than in previous years, but the specific time will still be determined based on local temperatures and climate changes.
