The comprehensive mechanization level of cotton farming and harvesting of the Fifth Division of the Corps has reached over 99%

As the temperature rises day by day, cotton sowing has been fully started in various regiment fields in Shuanghe City of the Fifth Division of the Corps. Different from previous years, this year a large number of “smart” agricultural machines are operating in cotton fields, and the scale and intensive production of cotton in the city have been significantly improved. The comprehensive mechanization level of cotton “ploughing, planting and harvesting” has reached over 99%.

On April 13, the author saw in the 90th Regiment a planter equipped with a Beidou navigation system shuttling back and forth in the cotton field. The scene was very spectacular. This year, the city plans to sow 770,000 acres of cotton. Since sowing started in mid-April, cotton farmers have used a large number of smart agricultural machinery to sow. The mechanization of cotton sowing has been greatly improved, making it more secure for cotton farmers to increase their income.

Cotton is the leading agricultural industry in the city, and it is also an important source of economic income for the workers in the cotton planting farm. In recent years, the city has continuously increased investment in science and technology, resulting in steady increases in total cotton output and yield per unit area. In 2020, the city had 762,000 acres of cotton. The seed cotton yield per unit area reached 417.5 kg/mu, a year-on-year increase of 12.5%. The total seed cotton output was 318,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.6%.

“This year, the city will strictly implement the cotton planting model of ‘one main and two auxiliary’, continue to increase the introduction of various intelligent agricultural machinery such as cotton pickers, residual film recycling machines, sprayers and other equipment, and promote the large-scale cotton planting, Mechanization, standardization, intensification and industrialization will promote the highquality development of the cotton industry.” said Liu Xinjun, director of the Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau.

In 2021, the city will further increase the application of information technology in agriculture. Beidou satellite navigation system, plant protection drones, large intelligent seeders and intelligent harvesters are widely used in agricultural machinery and equipment to transmit traffic. Sensory monitoring technology, wireless communication technology, and Internet of Things systems are used in farmland precision pesticide application, precision fertilization, precision seeding, intelligent harvesting and other operations to achieve the purpose of assisting agriculture with technology.

After optimizing the machinery, the optimization of seedlings cannot be left behind. In recent years, the city has insisted on promoting agricultural development through scientific and technological innovation, comprehensively promoting new measures and new technologies, and promoting the rapid transformation of scientific and technological research and development results. During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the Shishi Agricultural Science Institute established 12 science and technology projects and successfully applied for the “Cotton Breeding Research and Development Master Studio”. In 2020, it was awarded the “Cotton Breeding Research and Development Master Studio”. The establishment of the XPCC Cotton Germplasm Resources Research and Innovation Team” project has laid a solid foundation for the development of the city’s cotton industry.

Cao Yang, director of the Cotton Research Office of the Division’s Institute of Agricultural Sciences, said: “In the first year of the ’14th Five-Year Plan’, we set sail again and applied for national, Corps and division-city science and technology projects. The technological system innovation and genetic improvement project has received preliminary approval from the city and will provide a strong impetus for the development of the cotton industry in the city.”

Liu Xinjun said: “In accordance with the delineation of important agricultural product protection zones in Xinjiang and the Xinjiang Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and the regional layout plan of cotton varieties in the region, the Party Committee of the division city is guided by the needs of the market and cotton spinning enterprises, and based on the results of early trial demonstrations and comprehensive screening, formulates and A recommended catalog of regional cotton varieties has been released. According to the released variety catalog, this year, the city will promote four main cotton varieties. Their disease resistance, high yield, and high quality are all greatly improved compared to previous varieties. Combined with local Based on the climatic conditions, the wishes of the workers and the actual production, main and auxiliary varieties are selected to enhance the core competitiveness of the regional cotton industry.”
