The Corps has sown 3.6838 million acres of cotton, and the sowing progress is faster than the same period last year
The reporter learned from the XPCC Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau that as of April 12, the XPCC’s spring sowing area reached 5.126 million acres, of which the cotton sowing area was 3.6838 million acres. The spring sowing progress of various crops including cotton and grain are faster than the same period last year.
It is understood that the total cotton sown area of the Corps this year is expected to be more than 13 million acres, basically the same as in 2021. As the weather warms up, cotton sowing work is in full swing in various divisions and cities. The full mechanization of the operation not only frees up the labor force, but also makes sowing more efficient and precise. The application of technologies such as “dry sowing and wet seeding” and Beidou navigation continues to empower cotton sowing.
“The ‘dry sowing and wet out’ cotton planting technology has been widely used in Tumushuke City of the Third Division this year. During the spring sowing stage, we will follow up the entire process to find and solve problems in time, laying a good foundation for a high cotton yield.” Xinjiang Agricultural Reclamation said Wang Fangyong, a researcher at the Cotton Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences.
This year, the XPCC’s spring sowing area accounts for more than 70% of the annual grain planting area. At present, all divisions and cities of the Corps are actively promoting the sowing of spring wheat, rice, corn, soybeans and other food crops to maintain the bottom line of food security.
