On September 14, in Tigen Village, Guleawati Township, Wensu County In a cotton field, large tractor-type boom sprayers were shuttled across the field, busy spraying cotton with defoliant. Accompanied by the roar of the machines, each nozzle sprayed out mist-like defoliant solution. , spray evenly up and down on the cotton leaves. This is a scene from the autonomous region’s on-site demonstration of cotton defoliant spraying in the Nanjiang area of the autonomous region, which also kicked off the regional machine-picked cotton defoliant spraying operation.
The reporter learned from the on-site demonstration that according to the requirements of the autonomous region, This year, more than 70% of cotton fields in the region will use boom sprayers to spray defoliants, and the spraying work must be completed before September 20.
As the largest high-quality commodity cotton production base and long-staple cotton in Xinjiang In the main cotton-producing areas, cotton planting has always been an important pillar industry for increasing the income of people of all ethnic groups in the region. This year, in order to further consolidate the advantageous position of the region’s high-quality commercial cotton production base and ensure the sustainable and healthy development of the cotton industry, 7.4029 million acres of cotton have been planted in the region, all of which adopt the machine-picked planting model.
In order to improve the quality of cotton, as early as the spring sowing of cotton, the region vigorously The “one primary and two auxiliary” planting model of cotton varieties has been promoted, and the coverage rate of fine cotton varieties has reached more than 98%. At the same time, various regions have adopted “dry seeding and wet seeding” sowing technology and promoted high-efficiency, water-saving drip irrigation integrating water and fertilizer, ensuring that the total cotton output and unit yield have increased significantly this year. According to statistics, this year, the region’s total cotton output is expected to reach 1.1386 million tons, with an output of 153 kilograms of lint per mu.
Defoliant spraying work is a machine-picked cotton harvest A key link in the process, if the defoliation time is not timely and the defoliation effect is not good, it will affect the cotton fluffing, quality and harvesting work, and ultimately affect the income of the growers. Nowadays, the cotton harvest is around the corner. In order to improve the quality of machine-picked cotton, the region regards spraying defoliants as a key link in improving cotton quality and efficiency to ensure the quality of defoliation, lay a solid foundation for later harvesting, and improve cotton quality. Quality and market competitiveness ensure that the interests of cotton farmers are not lost.
It is reported that in order to speed up the spraying operation of machine-picked cotton defoliant Progress, so far, the region has implemented 2,796 tractor-type and self-propelled boom sprayers, which can achieve the goal of using boom sprayers for ground operations in more than 70% of the region’s cotton fields.
