At present, 330000 mu of high-quality machine-made cotton in Changji City, Xinjiang has entered a critical period of flower boll field management. For several days, various cotton related towns and machine-made cotton production enterprises have actively organized professionals to guide cotton farmers to use modern scientific and technological means such as integrated water and fertilizer intelligent irrigation systems, plant protection drone green control, etc. to carry out various chemical field control work of machine-made cotton, which is busy for cotton production and income increase.
Recently, cotton farmer Ma Chunfeng sat at home, opened the mobile app of the integrated water and fertilizer intelligent irrigation system, set the time and fertilization amount, and pressed the corresponding buttons to easily complete the fertilization operation for over 400 acres of cotton. He said, “Last year, the cotton yield I planted per mu reached over 500 kilograms. Looking at this growth trend this year, it should not be bad either.
Ma Chunfeng operates a thousand acre cotton field in the Laolonghe area. This year, the farm used the water and fertilizer integrated intelligent irrigation system of Xinjiang Huier Agricultural Group Co., Ltd. Relying on the company’s “Polyglutamic acid liquid fertilizer+intelligent fertilizer applicator+intelligent ball valve” intelligent water and fertilizer integration mode, Ma Chunfeng stays at home and controls irrigation and fertilization with one button, which can enable each drop of water and fertilizer to enter the field accurately, and use the precision control technology of water and fertilizer to achieve time-saving and labor-saving field management, water-saving and fertilizer saving, cost saving and efficiency increase.
In the 15000 mu high-quality machine picked cotton field of Donggou Village, Dianba Town, Changji City, Guo Teng, a professional plant protection worker, operates three plant protection UAVs to shuttle back and forth, and is easily carrying out chemical control operations of spraying foliar fertilizer and pesticides on cotton fields. We are using the Xinjiang T50 drone, with a daily workload of about 1000 acres. The drone uses the Beidou navigation system, and the atomization effect can reach 90 microns, with a coverage rate of 99% for each cotton plant, “Guo Teng said.
Ma Xiaolong, a villager in Donggou Village, is a major planter of machine harvested cotton. In 2022, he contracted to plant 9000 acres of machine harvested cotton in the village and received a cotton subsidy of 4 million yuan, earning 22.81 million yuan. This year, he expanded the planting area of machine harvested cotton to 12000 acres. During the critical period of cotton field management, the town officials invited him to operate three plant protection drones to spray foliar fertilizer and insecticides on cotton, and guided him to do a good job in the later stage of field management. Ma Xiaolong said, “The effectiveness of drone pest prevention and control is quite good. In the future, I will strengthen field management according to expert requirements and strive to increase the production to over 450 kilograms.
It is understood that the high-quality machine picked cotton planted in Changji this year has all blossomed and bolled, and is growing well. In order to ensure the high yield of cotton and increase the income of cotton farmers, the agricultural and rural departments of Changji City arranged 40 professional technicians to form a working group, which went to 8 towns in the city to carefully guide cotton farmers to do a good job in spraying foliar fertilizer and pesticide chemical control for machine picking cotton.
Since this year, Changji has continued to optimize the structure of cotton varieties, actively guided major cotton growers and professional cotton planting cooperatives, organized agricultural experts to go deep into the field, and guided farmers to use advanced planting machinery, Beidou navigation, dry sowing and wet out, “one model, three lines”, “one film, six lines” wide, early and excellent planting new technologies to grab cotton for high cotton yield Cotton farmers have laid a solid foundation for increasing their income.
