Currently, 950,000 acres of cotton in Jinghe County, Xinjiang are entering the flocculation period. In order to seize the farming season, Jinghe County recently held an on-site meeting on cotton quality improvement and defoliant spraying in Xiaertuore Village, Daheyanzi Town. Fully carry out defoliant spraying work.
At the on-site meeting, professional technicians used a combination of “theoretical explanation + on-site demonstration” to explain the preparations for cotton defoliation, the application method, dosage ratio and drone spraying of defoliants. Systematic explanations and demonstrations were conducted on homework precautions and other aspects.
Li Dahai is a farmer in Xiaertuore Village, Daheyanzi Town. By adopting scientific management and dry sowing and wet sowing planting methods, the 230 acres of cotton he planted this year are growing well and are currently in harvest. It is a critical period for the growth of bells and catkins, and a bumper harvest is in sight.
Li Dahai said: “We are very grateful to the technical staff for their demonstration and guidance, which enabled us to master the key points and precautions for applying defoliants, laying a solid foundation for this year’s cotton yield.”
In order to ensure the effectiveness of cotton defoliant spraying, the Jinghe County Agricultural Technology Extension Center organized technical personnel in advance to conduct online and offline research on defoliant varieties, dispensing methods and dosage, spraying methods, and temperature conditions. and safety protection measures and other technical points, and implement “three unifications” for spraying cotton defoliants, namely; unified drugs, unified time, and unified dosage, and at the same time, establish operating locomotive files to ensure the quality and effect of spraying. Promote cotton to bloom early, quickly and intensively.
Wang Daguang, a researcher at the County Agricultural Technology Extension Center, said: “In the next step, we will continue to organize agricultural technical staff to go to the village teams to guide cotton defoliant spraying technology at each township and farm to ensure that All defoliation work will be completed before September 15th to fully prepare for the later machine-picked cotton picking.”
