As the ground temperature rises, 1.1249 million acres of cotton in Aksu City, Xinjiang has officially entered the spring sowing stage. In the fields, modern large-scale agricultural machinery shuttles sowing seeds, using scientific and technological means to assist cotton sowing, which has greatly improved the level of agricultural modernization, allowing cotton farmers to save worry and effort and increase their income.
On March 29, in the management of Liuyuan Farm Area in Aksu City In the Tianhai Village Cotton Breeding Base of the Committee, an unmanned high-power cotton seeder equipped with a navigation system is operating in an orderly manner. Farmer Chen Yong is leading his employees to inspect the cotton trenching, planting and film laying. Relying on the accurate Beidou satellite navigation and positioning, not only can precise sowing be carried out according to the preset sowing route, but also the entire process of laying drip irrigation tapes and mulching films can be mechanized, with a linear error of no more than 2 centimeters. Compared with traditional sowing methods, not only can cotton be saved. More than 50% of the crops are planted, which also improves land utilization and facilitates later mechanized field operations and picking.
Growers in Tianhai Village, Liuyuan Farm Area Management Committee, Aksu City Chen Yong said: “I planted 800 acres of cotton. I used an unmanned high-power cotton seeder to finish the sowing in about 6 days. Now, from plowing, sowing, fertilizing to spraying and harvesting, the cotton is all done by machines. . This year we adopted dry sowing and wet sowing, which has brought many benefits to our growers. It has saved manpower and material resources, and also saved us costs. The savings per acre of land are about 300 to 400 yuan.”
Similarly, planted in Yongxing Village, Liuyuan Farm Area Management Committee, Aksu City In Chen Xiaoping’s cotton field, large-scale plows and land preparation machines are operating simultaneously. Deep plowing of the land is one of the technical measures to increase production that has been promoted in Aksu City in recent years. Chen Xiaoping uses high-horsepower tractors and subsoiling technology to make the cotton field reach a moisture content of The seven-character standard of “flat, loose, broken, clean, neat and straight” also allows the soil structure to be reasonably optimized, increases soil permeability, improves soil water storage capacity, improves soil structure and fertility, and promotes the growth of cotton roots. Increase production.
”I planted 100 acres of cotton this year, and now I plow It only takes half a day to harrow the ground and sow the seeds, and a high-horsepower tractor is good for precise sowing.” Chen Xiaoping, a farmer from Yongxing Village of the Liuyuan Farm Area Management Committee of Aksu City, said happily.
Aksu City Liuyuan Farm Area Management Committee Yongxing Village Agriculture Rural cadre Li Jiasi said: “This year our Yongxing Village plans to plant 100,000 acres of cotton and coordinate more than 120 large machinery. We will coordinate pesticides and fertilizers from surrounding farm fields and our own agricultural machinery cooperatives around Aksu City to ensure the normal operation of spring plowing. ”
In order to do a good job in cotton sowing this year, Aksu City Agriculture and Rural Areas The bureau organizes professional technicians to provide door-to-door agricultural machinery maintenance services, go deep into the fields to provide technical guidance, and coordinates agricultural material dealers to ensure the supply of agricultural materials, provide full technical guidance services, and achieve refined and mechanized sowing. In recent years, with the construction of high-standard farmland in the city, the implementation of high-efficiency water-saving projects and the support of agricultural machinery subsidies, land transfer and other policies, small fields have been transformed into large fields, intensive management has been carried out, and the mechanization level of the cotton production process has been continuously improved. Cotton earnings also increased.
Yu Su, deputy director of the Agricultural Technology Extension Center of Aksu Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau Fujiang Yasheng said: At present, the soil moisture in all towns and villages in Aksu City is sufficient, and it is expected that the city will complete the survey on April 20.Kind of. At the same time, farmers are guided to use preferred seeds and mulch for planting, and various large-scale machinery are coordinated for efficient and convenient mechanized planting, so that farmers can save time and effort, increase production and income while planting scientifically.
This year, Aksu City plans to plant 113,800 acres of long-staple cotton. Upland cotton 1.0111 million acres. During the spring plowing preparation period, 21,500 agricultural machinery of various types were overhauled in the city, and 9,000 sets of various machinery were invested in cotton production. The mechanization rate of harrowing, plowing, sowing, and cultivating reached 100%, and the mechanical mining rate reached over 90%.
