Aksu Region: Cotton sowing has entered its peak period, mechanization helps accelerate production, and the area and time are “double and half”
The farming season waits for no one. In mid-to-late April, 7.4 million acres of cotton sowing in the Aksu region has entered its peak period. In the past few days, various regions have seized the favorable moisture conditions to speed up planting progress and lay a solid foundation for increasing production and income this year.
On April 17, reporters learned from the Aksu Prefecture Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau that so far, 4.76 million acres of cotton have been sown in various parts of the Aksu Prefecture, completing 64.3% of the planned planting tasks, achieving “more than half” of sown area and sowing time. .
Since cotton sowing began in various places in early April, precision seeders equipped with the Beidou satellite navigation system have become the “protagonist” of spring sowing in cotton fields. The highly efficient mechanized operation of laying drip irrigation tapes, covering, and drilling holes in one go not only speeds up the progress of cotton sowing, but also lays a solid foundation for high cotton yields.
This year, Shaya County plans to sow 1.6 million acres of cotton. As the sowing work is in full swing, the precision seeders equipped with the Beidou satellite navigation system busy in the local fields have become a beautiful landscape. .
On April 16, in a cotton field in Ake Village, Gulebag Town, Shaya County, Ma Wenbin, an employee of the Daxin Agricultural Machinery Cooperative in Shaya County, took his employees to inspect cotton ditching, sowing and film laying. Condition. Relying on accurate Beidou satellite navigation and positioning, the unmanned cotton seeder can complete operations such as laying mulch film, drip irrigation tape, and precision sowing in one go. Compared with traditional sowing methods, it not only saves more than half of the cotton seeds, but also Drastically reduces sowing time.
“Cotton sowing is now mechanized, which saves worry and effort. Our cooperative’s 8,600 acres of cotton fields can be sown in about 15 days. This was something that was unimaginable in the past.” Ma Wenbin said happily.
Aksu Region has vigorously promoted agricultural mechanization through the implementation of a series of new policies to benefit the people, such as agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, which not only reduced the labor intensity of farmers, but also made agriculture a promising industry.
Awati County plans to sow 1.35 million acres of cotton this year. The widespread use of agricultural mechanization in the fields has accelerated the progress of cotton sowing in the county and promoted the transformation of the cotton industry from quantity to quality.
Yang Binbin is a major cotton grower in Duolang Community, Awati Town. Thanks to the precision seeder equipped with the Beidou satellite navigation system, his family’s 430 acres of cotton were sown in less than 4 days. “The sowing quality is high, and the sowing rows are straight and even. Mechanical sowing is more efficient.” Yang Binbin said with emotion.
This year, in order to further consolidate the advantages of high-quality cotton production bases, the Aksu region has stabilized the cotton sowing area at about 7.4 million acres. With the goal of “high quality and high yield”, we will demonstrate and promote intelligent cotton Production technology, promote the application of information technology such as the Internet of Things, big data, 5G technology, and intelligent control in cotton production, accelerate the pace of “mechanical replacement” of cotton production, and realize the intelligent transformation of cotton production.
Statistics show that in agricultural production in preparation for spring plowing this year, 166,500 agricultural machinery and tools have been invested in various regions, including 18,500 seeders, which has accelerated cotton sowing this year. It is expected that all cotton sowing tasks will be completed in the Aksu region around April 25, about 7 days earlier than last year.
