Xinjiang Production And Construction Corps Is Fully Exploiting New Cotton, And Its Mechanization Level Is In The Forefront Of China

In October, Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, as an important commodity cotton production base in China, has fully exploited new cotton. In the silver cotton sea, cotton pickers gallop back and forth, greatly improving the harvesting efficiency.

Xinxing City, the 13th division of Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, which is located in the "East Gate" of Xinjiang, has planted more than 210000 mu of cotton this year and is expected to be harvested in late October. In recent years, with the acceleration of agricultural modernization, cotton planting in this city has been mechanized.

Han Wen, a cotton grower in the 7th company of rocket farm of the 13th division, said: "if it goes well, our family will be able to harvest 50 mu of cotton in half a day. The cost of harvesting 1 mu of land is about 200 yuan (RMB, the same below), saving labor and money."

Fu Jianglu, director of Hami Xinxing agricultural machinery service professional cooperative, introduced that this year, the cotton planting farms of Xinxing city of the 13th division signed a lease service agreement with Jiangsu ward group, introducing 57 cotton harvesters to harvest cotton for cotton growers in Shishi City and Hami City. At present, nearly 300000 Mu harvest agreements have been signed.

With cotton boll opening in succession, the work of 1.82 million mu cotton mechanical harvesting in Wujiaqu City, the Sixth Division in Northern Xinjiang, has been fully carried out, and cotton purchasing enterprises have also started to purchase.

He Liping, an employee of the seventh company of the Communist Youth League farm of the Sixth Division, planted 150 mu of cotton this year, with an estimated yield of more than 400 kg per mu. "Cotton has been planted for seven or eight years, and this year should be the best one."

Alar City, the first division in the south of Xinjiang, is a famous "hometown of long staple cotton" in China. On October 10, 117300 mu of cotton will be picked on a large scale in Huaqiao Town, 11th regiment of the first division.

Ren Shanfu, an employee of Liulian, Huaqiao Town, 11th Tuan, has leveled the ridge ahead of time to prepare for mechanical picking. Ren Shanfu introduced that the average yield of his 100 mu cotton per mu reached 480KG per mu. If calculated by the purchase price last year, the net income was about 150000 yuan.

Xinjiang production and Construction Corps has 110 farms to plant cotton. Cotton industry is the pillar industry and advantage industry of Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, and plays an important role in Xinjiang production and construction corps economy. In 2020, Xinjiang production and Construction Corps will grow more than 12.97 million mu of cotton, with a cotton output of more than 2.13 million tons, and produce more than one-third of the country's cotton with a quarter of the country's area. This year, the cotton planting area of Xinjiang production and Construction Corps is basically equal to that of last year.

Thanks to the unique light and heat conditions, Xinjiang production and Construction Corps has a higher quality advantage in China. Over the years, Xinjiang production and Construction Corps has been in the forefront of China in terms of mechanization, scale, water-saving irrigation and scientific and technological support. By the end of 2020, the comprehensive mechanization rate of planting industry in Xinjiang production and Construction Corps will reach 95.2%; The machine picking rate of cotton is 90.9%, which is the largest mechanized cotton picking base in China.

This year, Xinjiang production and Construction Corps has improved the quality of cotton from the source, implemented new measures to increase production, supported by science and technology, to ensure the steady improvement of cotton yield and quality and enhance the market competitiveness.
