Visiting Xinjiang Cotton Demonstration Fields

At present, Xinjiang cotton is gradually entering the peak boll period. Various regions are guiding cotton farmers to carry out cotton field management to ensure high yield and quality of cotton.

How to improve the quality and yield of cotton is a topic of concern for many people, including cotton farmers. On the 15th, Shawan City, Xinjiang, held the “2023 technical demonstration meeting of boom spray spraying defoliant ripening agent” at the demonstration cotton field in Jingouhe Town, to provide technical guidance and on-site demonstration on the current popularization of the use of boom spray spraying defoliant ripening agent in cotton fields, and encourage cotton farmers to take new technical means to defoliate cotton before harvesting.

In the past, drone spraying was not comprehensive, and the leaves could not fall off completely, which would reduce the quality of cotton during harvesting and processing. A boom type spray is used to spray defoliant and ripening agent evenly from top to bottom without harming cotton plants. ” The relevant person in charge of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Shawan City introduced that under the conditions specified by the department, cotton farmers who achieve A-grade seed cotton will be given a subsidy of 0.35 yuan per kilogram of seed cotton.

In the cotton field demonstration area, a reporter from China News Network noticed that there is a sign inserted in the field that reads “Bolsheng Plasma Cotton Special Demonstration Field”. It is understood that this is the first year for Hongji Cooperative in Jingouhe Town to use Bosheng plasma cotton seed dressing agent on farmland. To compare and showcase the field effects, technicians conducted on-site testing in the 380 acre demonstration cotton field of Hongji Cooperative Farm. The sampling using Bosheng seed dressing was 2.3 meters in two rows, totaling 222 cotton peaches. For those without Bosheng seed dressing, a total of 178 cotton peaches were collected, “said Zhang Yuxia, deputy general manager of the cooperative.

It is reported that “Bosheng Plasma Cotton Seed Dressing Agent” is one of the agricultural physical preparation series products developed by Zhongke Tuoda Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. It is a new type of planting input used for improving crop quality, increasing yield, and enhancing resistance.

It is understood that the “Bosheng” series of agricultural physical agents have been evaluated by the National Agricultural Technology Promotion Center and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences for many years in the field, and have been widely promoted and applied in corn, wheat, rice, soybeans, and peanuts in major agricultural provinces such as Heilongjiang and Henan in China. This product was introduced to Xinjiang in 2020 and was first demonstrated in the spring of 2021 on the important economic crop cotton in China through multi land networking in the field.

Zhang Fawei, a major cotton grower in Shawan City who attaches great importance to scientific management of cotton, has been exploring how to plant cotton more efficiently and efficiently in recent years. After the first year of experimentation, he used the Bosheng plasma cotton seed dressing agent on 1500 acres of cotton fields this year. “Compared to the unused ones, there are indeed two more cotton peaches on the cotton plant, and it is estimated that each acre of land can increase the income of about forty to fifty kilograms of seed cotton. The final yield of this year will still be measured at harvest time, but through current observations, the effect is indeed good.

It is understood that the “Bosheng Plasma Cotton Special Demonstration Field” in northern Xinjiang is mainly centered around Shihezi and Shawan; The southern Xinjiang is mainly distributed in the Aksu and Korla regions; The eastern Xinjiang is the Hami region. The current demonstration field area is 15330 acres.
