“Happiness flowers” bloom in cotton fields
“Our new era of cotton planting is here”
On February 14, Yang Zhongchen, an employee of the Second Company of the 14th Regiment of the First Division, rushed to the cooperative early after learning that the company’s cotton planting cooperative was going to recommend this year’s main cotton varieties to its employees.
The yield of 100 acres of cotton seed cotton planted by Yang Zhongchen in 2022 reached 400 kilograms, and the quality indicators all reached “double 29”. The yield and quality were the highest since he planted cotton. highest level.
“The Corps’ cotton planting policy is good and has real financial incentives. Our cotton planting workers carefully select excellent varieties and go all out to improve the quality of cotton.” Yang Zhongchen said that he plans to continue planting cotton this year.
Good policies come from the high attention that the XPCC Party Committee attaches to cotton production. The Party Committee of the Corps has effectively strengthened its overall leadership over cotton production. At the beginning of 2022, the Corps’ cotton high-quality and high-yield work symposium was held to clarify the responsibilities and tasks of each relevant department, refine the division of labor for key cotton tasks in 2022, and achieve early planning and early implementation.
In 2022, the Corps introduced programs such as cotton production quality awards and subsidies, recommended cotton variety awards and subsidies, and implemented four cotton production award and subsidy funds in 2021 totaling 240 million yuan, including cotton production quality award subsidies and recommended cotton variety awards and subsidies. Funds etc. Policies and measures such as quality subsidy-oriented cotton target price subsidies have been accurately implemented, and the enthusiasm and initiative of cotton planting workers have increased, playing an active role in achieving the Corps’ goal of high-quality cotton production. Promoting effect.
Under the scientific guidance of the XPCC agricultural system and the incentives and guidance of reward and subsidy policies, cotton planting employees actively selected the main varieties recommended by the market. In 2022, the Corps recommends 19 varieties, 16 fewer than in 2021. The concentration of recommended varieties will further increase based on 2021, laying a solid foundation for the Corps’ high yield and high quality cotton.
In 2022, the Corps will implement a pilot subsidy fund of 30 million yuan for the green and high-quality development of cotton, implement a pilot reward fund of 58.9845 million yuan for cotton quality traceability, and include the purchase of seed cotton “three silk” cleaning equipment by processing enterprises into the scope of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies.
The deployment requirements of the Corps Party Committee are implemented by all levels, departments and units. The final results are reflected in the entire production process of front-line cotton planting workers and the “answer sheets” of high quality and high cotton yields.
With the rapid promotion and application of agricultural high-tech, XPCC Agriculture’s intelligent and informatization levels have been continuously improved, providing full-process mechanized services for land preparation, sowing, plant protection, and harvesting. The Corps comprehensively promotes the cotton industry to follow the road of high quality, high yield and efficiency, through precision sowing, Beidou satellite navigation system and other intelligent mechanical equipment, water-saving irrigation technology, precise soil measurement and formula fertilization technology, new cotton varieties and machine-picked cotton technology. Through promotion and application, cotton planting, management and harvesting have been fully mechanized, improving cotton quality from the source, reducing planting costs, and using blossoming cotton to support the workers’ dream of increasing income and becoming rich.
“From the pursuit of more at the beginning to the pursuit of more and better now, our new era of cotton planting has arrived.” Yang Zhongchen said.
“Grow cotton well, and I will do better this year!”
The ice and snow are melting day by day, and the birds in the trees are singing happily. On February 15, Yuan Jiaqiang, an employee of the Fifth Company of the Sixth Division’s Communist Youth League Farm, arrived early at the Communist Youth League Farm Branch of Xinjiang Junggar Agricultural Production Materials Co., Ltd., and after some inquiries and exchanges, he ordered 600 kilograms of “China Cotton 113” cotton seeds and 25 kilograms of microorganisms. Bacteria, and 30 tons of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, etc.
“In 2022, I have 95 acres of cotton fields sown with ‘Zhongmian 113’ cotton seed, and the yield and quality will be improved. This year I want to grow a variety of cotton, and plan to plant 300 acres!” Yuan Jiaqiang said that planting good cotton requires preparation for farming. The key, the seed is the key among keys.
A few years ago, most workers at the Communist Youth League farm chose cotton varieties on their own. There were many and mixed varieties, and poor management led to an overall decline in cotton quality. In recent years, the Corps and Wujiaqu City of the Sixth Division have vigorously promoted the “one primary and two auxiliary” cotton seeding model to achieve high quality and high yield of cotton.
Selecting the best cotton varieties, relying on the Beidou satellite navigation system for precision sowing, using drones for plant protection, and implementing mechanized harvesting… Yuan Jiaqiang enjoys the dividends of the Corps’ high-yield cotton technology achievements. In recent years, the quality of cotton has continued to improve, and his income has continued to increase. .
At this time a year ago, Yuan Jiaqiang was also busy purchasing cotton seeds and agricultural supplies, and coating and sterilizing the seeds to prevent them from rotting at low temperatures. After all this work, spring sowing has begun.
In March last year, when Yuan Jiaqiang pulled the seeds, mulch film and drip irrigation tape to the edge of the field, he saw a seeder equipped with the Beidou satellite navigation system waiting aside. The driver just taps the screen to plan the route, and the seeder rumbles into the ground, sowing seeds, laying film, etc. in one go. The 95 acres of land were sown in most of a day. “Years ago, in so many places, it took at least four days for 4 or 5 people to finish broadcasting.” Yuan Jiaqiang sighed.
After sowing the seeds, Yuan Jiaqiang began to lay water pipes and dissolve microbial agents into the water under the guidance of experts. Moist soil, sufficient nutrients, and warm sunshine allow cotton seeds to germinate quickly and bloom with tender green leaves.
Last June, Yuan Jiaqiang took out a small shovel and dug…When checking the growth of the cotton seedlings, it was found that the cotton seedlings treated with microbial inoculants had deep roots, many lateral roots, strong cotton stalks, and were growing well.
July last year ushered in the important field management season, and cotton topping was related to the quality of cotton pollination. At that time, Yuan Jiaqiang faced two choices: manual capping or drug capping? Medicinal capping is fast and saves 40 yuan per mu of land compared with manual capping. “However, it is difficult to accurately control the dosage of drug topping, which will affect the growth of cotton.” Under the guidance of the company’s “Two Committees”, Yuan Jiaqiang chose artificial topping. After autumn, the cotton yield in Yuanjiaqiang’s field is about 30 kilograms higher than that of cotton using drug capping technology.
When the autumn wind gradually picks up, cotton wadding spreads over a large area, and it is harvest time. Accompanied by the rumble of the locomotive, Yuan Jiaqiang’s 95 acres of cotton was harvested in half a day. “The six-row self-propelled baling cotton picker made by the Corps is used. It harvests quickly and has a high net harvest rate of more than 96%!” Recalling the scene during last year’s harvest, Yuan Jiaqiang was proud and happy.
“In the past, manual harvesting required bending down tens of thousands of times every day and picking from sunrise to sunset for nearly 60 days every year.” Yuan Jiaqiang was filled with emotion. “In those days, we were not afraid of planting cotton, but we were afraid of harvesting.”
Hard work has paid off. In 2022, the cotton grown by Yuan Jiaqiang has a seed cotton yield of 530 kilograms, the highest in history. It was identified as first-class cotton by the ginner, and the income reached 150,000 yuan. “Grow cotton well, and I will do better this year!” Yuan Jiaqiang said with confidence.
