A good harvest is in sight! 1.02 million acres of cotton are spun out in Aksu City

It is a good season for wheat, yellow and cotton, and it is another good harvest year. At present, 1.02 million acres of cotton in Aksu City are growing well and have gradually entered the cotton-shedding period. In the past few days, Aksu City, on the premise of epidemic prevention and control, has organized agricultural technicians to go to the fields to guide cotton farmers on measures such as picking up field flowers and spraying defoliants with drones, and do a good job in cotton field management to prepare for the autumn harvest. prepare for.

On September 12, in the cotton field of Xinke Farm, Yongxing Village, Liuyuan Farm Area Management Committee, Aksu City, some cotton berries had cracked and exposed white cotton wadding. Agricultural technicians were checking the cotton berries, fruit setting, wadding, and disease and insect pests in the cotton field. Guide cotton farmers to do a good job in field management during the middle and late stages of cotton growth to ensure a bumper harvest.

He Jiahong is a large grower at Xinke Farm in Yongxing Village. Through the guidance of agricultural technicians, scientific management and dry sowing and wet planting methods, the 1,500 acres of high-quality machine-picked cotton he planted this year is growing well, with an average of 9- The 10 cotton bolls have now entered the critical period of boll formation and catkins growth, and a bumper harvest is in sight.

Cotton farmer He Jiahong said: “Judging from the current growth situation, the overall growth of cotton this year is very good. In the future, we will need to strengthen pest control and pay attention to conventional techniques such as field management to ensure a bumper cotton harvest.”

On the same day, in a cotton field not far away, cotton farmer He Jiahong was using a large plant protection drone to spray defoliant on cotton. The entire work was carried out in a busy and orderly manner, including mixing, mixing, charging and debugging, and spraying. It is understood that drone operation is the “messenger” of smart agriculture. It is fast, efficient, time-saving and labor-saving, and can complete spraying operations of more than 100 acres in just one hour.

“This year we adopted technologies such as large-scale mechanical farming, early sowing at the right time, and guided sowing. The sowing quality was high and the seedlings emerged completely. It is now the critical period to apply defoliants. Technical staff came over to guide us in correctly controlling the dosage to prepare for the autumn harvest,” said cotton farmer He Jiahong.

This year, Aksu City planted 1.02 million acres of cotton, including 920,000 acres of high-quality machine-picked cotton. In order to ensure the smooth progress of cotton harvest, the Aksu Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs planned, deployed and acted early, and arranged professional and technical personnel to go to various towns and villages in the city to carefully guide cotton farmers to spray defoliants on machine-picked cotton. So far, defoliants have been deployed 400 tons of agents have been produced, and the spraying of defoliants on 540,000 acres of machine-picked cotton has been completed.

Rao Cuiting, a cadre of the Aksu Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, said: “In the next step, we will comprehensively carry out water and fertilizer management, pest and disease control, and the use of defoliants in accordance with the idea of ’stabilizing cotton, improving fruit, strengthening livestock, developing characteristics, and promoting processing’ , mechanical harvesting and other skills training to comprehensively improve the scientific management level of cotton growers, lay a solid foundation for stable and high cotton yields, and help achieve a bumper harvest.”

In order to ensure that cotton farmers grow good cotton, at every critical season of cotton field management, agricultural technicians at all levels in the Aksu region go into the fields, carry out technical training and guidance according to local conditions, and guide farmers to seize the opportunity and apply drip irrigation and fertilization at the right time. , scientific control.

“In recent years, Aksu has accelerated the promotion of digital agriculture, smart agriculture, and modern agricultural production, continuously improving the entire mechanization technology of cotton planting, and realizing the simplification, standardization, scale, and mechanization of cotton planting in a large area. At present, the entire region The overall growth of cotton is better than in previous years. In the later field management, timely water shutoff, defoliation and ripening, and mechanical harvesting were implemented to ensure early maturity, high quality, high yield and high efficiency of cotton. At the same time, we also actively cooperated with the agricultural machinery department to conduct maintenance and repair of cotton picking machines. Deploying, picking up flowers quickly, ensuring that the catkins are returned to the warehouse, transporting them quickly, and delivering them for sale quickly ensure a bumper cotton yield and a bumper harvest.” said Ameljan Ablitif, senior agronomist at the Aksu Regional Agricultural Technology Extension Center.
