Tumushuk: strengthen the cotton seedling management to help seedlings are strong

In order to promote the stable and sustainable development of cotton production and improve the level of quality and efficiency of cotton technology, the team of Dr. Chen Bing from the Cotton Research Institute of Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Reclamation, together with the Xinjiang Tumushuke Agricultural Science Institute, the Agricultural Development Group and relevant regiments, held a demonstration field of cotton "dry sowing and wet out" in the seventeenth company of the forty-ninth regiment. The "dry sowing wet out" seedling emergence and seedling preservation technology demonstration field meeting.

　　At the meeting, Dr. Chen systematically introduced the cotton "dry sowing wet out" matters that should be noted at each stage and the specific operation method. After nearly two years of practice proved that cotton "dry sowing wet out" effect is remarkable, compared with traditional farming, "dry sowing wet out" mu cost savings of about 120 yuan, plus the seedlings are strong, mu yield increase of seed cotton up to about 50 kg, mu yield increase of nearly 500 yuan.

　　This year, the division city cotton sowing area of 1.05 million mu, of which the scale of the promotion of cotton "dry sowing wet out" technology area of 600,000 mu or so. As of now, the local sowing drip work has been completed, part of the early sown cotton fields one after another seedlings. In view of the serious salinization of the land in South Xinjiang, and the problem of water shortage in cotton fields, Dr. Chen's team has devoted itself to research for many years and through a lot of practice, and has also carried out demonstration field cultivation in the division for two consecutive years, proving that the water-saving effect is remarkable, and to achieve a sowing of all seedlings, more seedlings of cotton seedling management goals, the large-scale promotion of this technology will fundamentally alleviate the saline cotton and seasonal water stress leading to late emergence, poor emergence, weak growth and other problems. Weak growth and other problems.

　　At present, according to the normal pattern of sowing cotton seedlings are also emerging, the seedling rate are above 80%, some cotton fields reached 100%, the overall seedling situation is good. Cotton farmers are in time to put seedlings, replanting, to determine this year's cotton can increase production and efficiency.
