Nanjiang Cotton Innovation Center was officially established

Now is a critical period for cotton water and fertilizer management. Maiwulajiang Maihamati, a villager in Bostan Village, Qilang Township, Keping County, Aksu Prefecture, no longer worries about improper management of water and fertilizer. This year, Han Huanyong, a Ph.D. from the Cotton Research Institute of the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, provided scientific guidance to Maiwulajiang throughout the entire process, starting from the first water of cotton.

“Cotton is growing well now, with an average of 5 to 6 big bolls per plant. The yield will be high this year.” Looking at the large green cotton fields, Maiwulajiang said happily.

It is not an unreachable thing to enjoy free technical guidance services from doctorate-level cotton experts in cotton fields. On July 26, at the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps’ Rural Revitalization and Cotton Industry Development Forum held in Shihezi City, the Corps’ Southern Xinjiang Cotton Innovation Center was officially established. In fact, before this center was officially established, it had provided technical support to many cotton farmers like Maiwulajiang for many years.

Lin Hai, Secretary of the Party Branch of the Cotton Research Institute of the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that in the past, the agricultural scientific research units of the Corps mainly sent technology to the countryside by selecting science and technology commissioners to serve the regiment and company, to serve the cotton farmers of the Corps and regiment, and to solve the problem of cotton planting. various problems encountered during the process. After the establishment of the center, it will integrate the strength of authoritative expert teams in the cotton field inside and outside Xinjiang to help employees increase production and income from aspects such as the selection and breeding of fine cotton varieties and efficient planting management, and guide cotton processing enterprises to strengthen technological transformation to increase the proportion of high-quality cotton, and provide Xinjiang cotton with It provides a theoretical basis for the development of highquality in all aspects of the entire industrial chain including varieties, planting, harvesting, processing, and textiles.

Xinjiang is my country’s largest commercial cotton base. At the end of 2020, Xinjiang’s total cotton output was 5.161 million tons, accounting for 87.3% of the national cotton output. Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps accounts for 27% of the country’s area and produces 36.9% of the country’s cotton. It has played an irreplaceable role in the development of Xinjiang and even the country’s cotton industry.

Since 2014, the quality of cotton in all divisions of the Corps has been greatly improved, and the main quality indicators are generally higher than the national average. It has played a pioneering role in our district’s continuous expansion of mechanized cotton harvesting and the continuous optimization of the production and processing industry chain. A good example for testing.

At the forum, Professor Zhang Xianlong from Huazhong Agricultural University believed that our region should carefully sort out the issues affecting cotton quality in all aspects of cotton breeding, planting, harvesting, processing, storage and transportation, and through the Southern Xinjiang Corps The Cotton Innovation Center brings together cotton scientific researchers from all over the country to analyze and solve problems encountered in the development of Xinjiang’s cotton industry one by one.

Zhou Ping, vice president of the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that in the future, the Xinjiang Xinjiang Cotton Innovation Center of the Corps will build a technological innovation platform and a platform for displaying technological achievements for the region’s cotton industry. Platform, while giving full play to the role of the center’s talent gathering, technology evaluation, and technological innovation, to better provide scientific support for the high-quality development of the cotton industry in our region.
