The Flowering Age Of Cotton Is The Key Period For Determining The Yield Of Cotton.

< p > early July to mid August is known as the flowering age of cotton, which is a critical period for determining the yield of cotton and also a key period for cotton field management.

Xu Tuxin, a master of agricultural technology station in Luo Bu, visited the cotton planting base in Zhengcun, Qingyang, as usual, and looked carefully at the growth of cotton.

The weather environment in recent days is very beneficial to cotton bolting in the future. Xu TSU Xin is very pleased to say: "this is the first batch of cotton planted by the Ministry of agriculture in this year's output of 10000 mu of cotton in Luo Bu. Its growth not only affects the development of high-yield creation activities, but also has great significance for the revitalization of the old cotton producing areas in Luo Bu."

< p > cotton growing in Luo Bu Town has a long history and is one of the most important cotton producing areas in Wucheng.

As early as the 70s and 80s of last century, the village of Zhengzheng, Dong Jia and gardens in Qingyang began to grow cotton.

When the state is responsible for acquiring cotton, the most profitable cotton farmers earn more than 4000 yuan per mu.

"At that time, almost every household lived by planting cotton, and whenever there was a good harvest of cotton, we could see countless carts shuttling across the fields, with joyful and spectacular harvest scenes."

Speaking of past cotton growers, Zheng Xiaowen has many fond memories.

< p > but in recent years, with the domestic cotton < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > textile < /a >, the operation of the industry has been in a low slump, especially in the textile foreign trade industry, which is in the "internal and external troubles", thus affecting the upstream cotton industry chain.

Domestic cotton prices fell or fell, and even the phenomenon of international cotton prices hanging upside down, which made the cotton farmers who had been working hard and could not bear heavy burden.

Below P > in such a trade environment, the old cotton producing area of Luo Bu Town has also been hit hard.

Affected by the supply and demand relationship, fewer and fewer people grow cotton, and the cotton planting area has decreased from more than 6000 mu to 4000 mu.

Many cotton growers have changed crops such as rice, sugar cane and corn.

In the mature season of cotton, some cotton farmers who go out to work even do not want to go home and pick them up, leaving the cotton rotten to the ground.

< p > in 2013, the Ministry of agriculture of the state launched the construction of high yield of million mu of cotton. The pportation facilities, flat terrain, deep soil layer, good irrigation and drainage conditions, and good cotton planting foundation and cotton planting level of Luo Bu Zhen became the first pilot project for high-yield cotton production in the city, and there was a turning point in the old cotton producing areas.

In order to carry out a good cotton production campaign successfully, in April 8th this year, the Wucheng agricultural and forestry bureau held two technical training sessions of two million mu high yield demonstration bases, invited experts from the Provincial Department of agriculture to analyze the new situation of cotton production at home and abroad, and raised the enthusiasm of cotton growers.

In order to explore new technologies and strive to make breakthroughs in cotton varieties selection and cultivation techniques, the cotton quality cultivation field, new variety exhibition field and new variety high-yield demonstration film were arranged in Hou Zhang village, Luo Bu Town.

Through experiments and demonstration, a set of cotton cultivation technology regulations were formed, and suitable varieties for local cultivation were screened, which laid the foundation for the smooth development of cotton high yield activities in the future.

< p > it is understood that the 10000 mu cotton high yield demonstration film is located in the core area of Zhengcun and Dong Jia village, Qingyang Town, Luo Bu Town, involving 61 villages, 5821 households, an area of 11 thousand mu, the target seed coverage rate is 100%, and the yield per mu is 130 kg, which is more than 20% above the non project area.

With the support of state policies, technologies and funds, the old cotton producing area of robu has ushered in new opportunities for its pformation and leapfrogging.
