What to do if strong winds and other abnormal weather occur during cotton emergence period

Affected by abnormal weather, from May 11th to 16th, precipitation, sandstorms, and cooling weather processes occurred in various places in the Aksu region, which had an adverse impact on cotton in the emergence stage. To this end, the region recommends that all localities should pay close attention to weather changes, carry out prevention and replanting work according to local conditions, and promote a bumper cotton harvest.

We learned from the Regional Agricultural Technology Extension Center that cotton in various parts of the region is currently entering the three true leaf stage. Windy and sandy rainfall weather has an adverse impact on cotton growth. This is mainly reflected in the fact that the rainfall process can easily cause soil hardening and saline-alkali cotton fields. Causes saline-alkali return, resulting in difficulty in cotton seedling emergence and stuck neck and dead seedlings. At the same time, weather with wind and rain will cause the temperature to drop, causing the cotton to form small old seedlings, tall seedlings, and stiff seedlings that will not grow.

Because cotton is the main source of income for cotton farmers in various regions, in response to abnormal weather processes, the region on the one hand releases weather forecast information in a timely manner, and on the other hand reminds cotton farmers to take precautions in advance to reduce losses caused by adverse weather effects. to the lowest.

Entering May, windy weather is common. For this reason, the district recommends that after sowing cotton, cotton farmers should lay windproof tapes along the vertical ridge surface of the mulch film. In drip irrigation cotton fields, the drip irrigation tapes must be compacted to prevent the drip irrigation tapes from being blown up by the wind. If cotton seedlings are damaged or die due to strong winds, they must be replanted immediately. The cotton seeds used for replanting must be the same as those originally sown to avoid mixing.

In cotton fields where the temperature drops due to rainfall and the cotton seeds do not emerge or die after emergence, more than 60% of the mulch film is destroyed, so it is suitable to remove the film and re-sow. For cotton fields where there is not much rainfall and the degree of water immersion in the cotton field is relatively low, after the soil covering the membrane is slightly dry, light rolling can be used to break the hard shell on the membrane. If the mulch film or drip irrigation tape is seriously damaged and cannot be repaired, it must be replanted.

At present, policy-based agricultural insurance has basically achieved full coverage. After a disaster, it is necessary to promptly contact the insurance company to conduct survey and damage assessment, promptly verify the disaster situation, quickly pay compensation, and solve the problem of funds required for replanting and replanting.
