Domestic cotton picking machine successfully developed in Shihezi Reclamation Area
During this cotton harvest season, the Shihezi Reclamation Area of the Eighth Agricultural Division uses newly developed domestic cotton picking machinery on a large scale. It greatly improves cotton picking efficiency and alleviates the heavy manpower required to pick cotton manually.
This year, the Eighth Agricultural Division planted 1.8 million acres of cotton in the Shihezi Reclamation Area. The total seed cotton output will exceed 700,000 tons this year. It recruits 200,000 flower pickers from the mainland every year, and only pays 1.5 for pickers. More than 100 million yuan. Since the cotton harvest period is relatively concentrated, during the peak picking period, all cotton planting farms are faced with a shortage of picking labor and are unable to pick cotton in time. In order to alleviate the pressure of cotton picking, with the strong support of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and the Eighth Agricultural Division of Shihezi City, Pingshui Machinery Company, which is affiliated to China’s Guizhou Aviation Industry Group, and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Mechanization Sciences jointly conducted scientific and technological research and successfully developed it after six years. Pingshui brand large self-propelled cotton picker.
Du Jinhang, key civilian product manager of Guizhou Aviation Industry Group of China, said that the main performance indicators of domestic cotton pickers are close to and equivalent to the level of imported machines in terms of picking rate and reliability. The price is only 70% of that of imported machines. Its other two advantages and highlights are that its social services and parts supply are unmatched by imported machines. Secondly, its design is completely based on China’s cotton planting model and characteristics, so it can completely replace imported products. ”
The successful development of the domestic Pingshui brand cotton picking machine has broken the monopoly of foreign products in our country and promoted the rapid and sustainable development of Xinjiang’s cotton industry. One acre of land can reduce the cost of cotton harvesting by nearly 200 yuan. . With the mechanical picking of cotton, the efficiency of cotton planting by employees is getting better and better. Zhu Yumei, a cotton contractor of the 147th Group, told reporters with satisfaction after using it: “The cotton picking machine is really good for cotton farmers. In previous years, manual picking was required. It takes a lot of labor, but using domestic cotton picking machines saves money and labor, which is quite affordable. ”
The success of the Pingshui brand domestic cotton picker in large-scale picking in the Shihezi Reclamation Area this year marks the gradual transition from heavy manual cotton picking to mechanized cotton picking. It is understood that China Guizhou Aviation Industry Group will, in the next few years, The company’s plan is to use the cotton picker and cotton production all-round mechanization project in Shihezi City of the Eighth Agricultural Division as the starting point, rely on the Corps to target the whole country, take into account other products, make the products go abroad, and build the company into a modern agricultural machinery industrialization base. .

In such a large cotton-producing region, during the autumn cotton harvest season, the outstanding problem is the need for a large number of seasonal labor “Flower pickers”. Statistics show that our district hires 400,000-900,000 flower pickers from the mainland every year, and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps alone pays 1.2 billion yuan in labor costs each year. In our district In cotton fields, the advantages of cotton pickers are very obvious. Data from areas that promote mechanical cotton picking show that during the peak period, a cotton picker picked more than 40,000 kilograms of seed cotton per day, equivalent to the labor of 1,000 “flower pickers” Amount.
