Changji Agricultural Park: Improved seeds + methods produce good cotton
“When watering these two days, you have to use pesticides together.” On June 15, at the Laolonghe Modern Agriculture Demonstration Park of Changji National Agricultural Science and Technology Park, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Fu Shihai, a cotton expert from the Shihezi Comprehensive Experiment Station of the Cotton Research Institute, came to the cotton fields of Ma Chunfeng, a major cotton grower, to provide field management guidance.
This year, Ma Chunfeng followed last year’s “wide, early and high-quality” cotton planting model and planted 600 acres of high-quality cotton. “The ‘wide, early and excellent’ model has matching technologies and varieties. Seeds, pesticides and fertilizers are no longer wasted. The quality and yield have improved, and we have earned more.” Ma Chunfeng said.
The “Wide, Early, and Excellent” model is compared to the “Dwarf, Density, and Early” model. The “Short, Density, and Early” model is to plant 6 rows of cotton on the agricultural film covering the ground, while the “Wide, Early, and Excellent” model is to plant 3 rows. cotton. The “Wide and Early Optimization” mode reduces half of the planting holes on the agricultural film, has a significant effect of increasing temperature and moisture, saves water and can set bolls earlier, which relatively extends the boll-setting period of cotton, increases the boll-setting space by more than 30%, and improves the boll-forming rate and boll-setting rate. The weight also increased by more than 10%, and the production increase generally exceeded 10%.
Fu Shihai introduced: “The seeds used in this cotton field are Zhongmian 113. This variety is particularly suitable for northern Xinjiang. It has good resistance to wilt, verticillium wilt and other diseases and insect pests. The cotton yield is high and the quality is good.” Last year, Ma Chunfeng Due to the high quality of the cotton grown, cotton purchasing companies bid extremely high, at 6.5 yuan per kilogram. Ma Chunfeng’s gross income from 530 acres of cotton reached more than 1.5 million yuan.
The park has also introduced technologies such as integrated and efficient utilization of water and fertilizer, green prevention and control of diseases, insect pests and weeds, and cotton field intelligent monitoring and management. Through the integration of full-process mechanization, intelligence, and green Modern management concepts such as optimization and simplification have been adopted, and a supporting technology system of “good seeds + good methods” for high-quality cotton has been formed.
