The 125,000 acres of cotton sowing in Keping County is in good order
People are diligent, spring comes early, and cotton fields are busy with farming. In the past few days, various townships (towns) in Keping County, Xinjiang, have seized the favorable opportunity of rising temperatures and good soil moisture to carry out cotton sowing in a timely manner. Agricultural technicians have gone deep into the fields to provide follow-up guidance on land preparation, seed selection, sowing and other procedures, laying a solid foundation for a high cotton yield of 125,000 acres in the county.
On April 15, the reporter saw in the cotton planting field of Nurbag Village, Qilang Township, Keping County, that a high-powered Beidou navigation driverless tractor was shuttled back and forth in the field. Cotton farmers followed the seeder closely to check the opening. Ditching, planting, laying film, covering with soil, etc. are a busy scene in full swing.
Parhat Maimaiti, a farmer in the village, planted 30 acres of cotton this year. He told reporters that by using the Beidou navigation system and “dry sowing and wet planting” technology, not only did manpower and water resources be saved, but the emergence rate was also improved. The seeding rate is much higher than before.
Parhat Maimaiti said: “These few days are a critical period for cotton planting. Under the guidance of agricultural technicians, our cotton is sown on time. With the help of Beidou navigation driverless tractors, it is much easier to plant cotton. This year I will manage cotton strictly in accordance with technical requirements to lay the foundation for a good harvest next year.”
Since this year, in order to ensure the smooth progress of cotton sowing work, Keping County has actively adopted the “dry sowing and wet sowing” technology of cotton, and has increased its “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” services, and dispatched agricultural technicians to the cotton sowing site to provide guidance and services. , help farmers solve various technical problems encountered during spring plowing, guide farmers to seize the current favorable moisture conditions, speed up sowing progress, and make every effort to ensure the smooth completion of cotton sowing.
