650,000 acres of cotton in Manas County are in full swing

It is now the busy season for spring plowing and spring sowing. 650,000 acres of cotton in Manas County are in full swing. The installation and application of the new Beidou navigation automatic driving system has greatly improved the cotton sowing efficiency and laid a solid foundation for this year’s cotton harvest. Base.

In a cotton field in Wenjiazhuang Village, Letuyi Town, five high-power tractors equipped with Beidou navigation systems are carrying out precision sowing according to preset sowing routes. The use of an unmanned seeder that integrates film mulching, laying of drip irrigation tape under the film, sowing, and covering soil is not only accurate, but also more efficient. It can achieve a linear error of no more than 2 cm. Compared with traditional sowing methods, it not only saves cotton More than 50% of the crops are planted, which also increases the land utilization rate by 3% and facilitates later mechanized field management and picking.

Zhao Chunfu, the person in charge of the cotton family farm in Letuyi Town, said: “We use new machinery to sow seeds through navigation and precision sowing, one seed per hole. This can save seeds and save more than 30 yuan per mu in cost. Our eight thousand acres of land can be sown within a week.”

In recent years, Manas County has actively optimized the cotton planting structure, based on high-standard farmland construction, guiding farmers to adopt six unified planting methods of unified varieties, unified sowing, unified dripping, unified fertilization, unified prevention and control, and unified harvesting. model, and apply new concepts and technologies such as soil testing formulas, high-efficiency water conservation, and full-process mechanization to achieve production and efficiency through refined management. After the cotton family farm in Letuyi Town used digital high-efficiency water-saving drip irrigation, the amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides was reduced by about 20%, the utilization rate of fertilizers increased by 10%, the utilization rate of chemical pesticides increased by more than 6%, and the average cotton production increased 3%.

Zhao Chunfu, the person in charge of the cotton family farm in Letuyi Town, said: “We are now growing cotton in high-standard farmland. The plots are relatively large, which is convenient for large-scale machinery operations. Drip irrigation is also digital, saving 50 or 60 cubic meters of water compared with previous flood irrigation. When there was flood irrigation, the yield was two to three hundred kilograms. Now it ranges from four hundred and five hundred kilograms. Sometimes it can reach six hundred kilograms at high yields. In the past, hundreds of acres of land were cultivated, but now it can be planted to thousands of acres. Tens of thousands of acres, this way the manpower and material resources are relatively easy.”

This year, Manas County mainly grows two varieties of cotton, No. 78 and No. 82, and also promotes the use of thickened and high-strength mulch films. The area will reach 300,000 acres. Liu Yingchun, Party branch secretary of the Manas County Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Mechanization Technology Promotion Station, said: “This year, we have vigorously promoted thickened high-strength mulch films. After the use of high-strength mulch films, it is beneficial to the temperature-loving, warming, moisture conservation, and weeding of crops such as cotton. In particular, it has a significant effect on increasing cotton’s lint yield. Last year, through comparative experiments, the output of lint per mu of land was increased by about 30 kilograms, which has improved the overall efficiency of farmers’ cotton. Very big benefit.”

In order to fully ensure the smooth progress of this year’s cotton sowing work, Manas County actively dispatched technical personnel to each village to provide on-site agricultural technical guidance to farmers, making every effort to ensure a bumper cotton harvest.

Lv Xiaoqing, director of the Manas County Agricultural Technology Extension Center, said: “The 650,000 acres of cotton in Manas County have been fully planted, of which 300,000 acres are under construction of high-standard farmland. In this year’s cotton management, we mainly promote It is the integration of water and fertilizer technology, as well as side sealing soil, dry sowing and wet seeding technology, and digital farmland management technology. Through the application of a series of advanced measures, we can ensure a good cotton harvest.”
