April is the cotton sowing season, and machines roar in the fields in Yizhou District, showing a busy sowing scene. This also marks that this year’s 240,000 acres of cotton sowing work in Yizhou District has begun in various towns and parks. Open the curtain. On April 6, the reporter saw in the cotton field of Huanglugang Village, Daquanwan Township, that a large cotton seeder was slowly moving forward in the field, laying mulch film, drip irrigation tape, precision sowing, etc. “all in one go”, with several workers following closely. The seeder checks the conditions of trenching, planting, spreading film, covering soil, etc. Huanglugang Village, Daquanwan Township, planted 12,000 acres of cotton this year. In order to speed up the progress of cotton sowing and guide farmers to scientifically carry out spring plowing production, the Party Branch of Huanglugang Village, Daquanwan Township actively contacted the Yizhou District Agricultural and Rural Technology Promotion Center in the fields. The field provides technical guidance and coordinates agricultural input dealers and agricultural machinery cooperatives to ensure the supply of agricultural inputs and machinery, provide technical guidance services, and achieve refined and mechanized sowing. Zhang Chunyong, deputy secretary of the Party branch of Huanglugang Village, Daquanwan Township, told reporters that the weather conditions in the past two days have been suitable for the technical conditions of the main cotton sowing period in all aspects, so the preparation for farming of more than 12,000 acres of land has basically been completed. The land leveling has been completed, and now it is time to wait for the landing. In these more than 20 days, basically all the sowing volume must be completed. The daily sowing is 4 large precision cotton seeders, and the daily sowing volume is between 400 and 600. Between acres of land, it is expected that the cotton production of more than 10,000 acres of land in Huanglugang Village will be basically completed by April 20th in about 25 days. The varieties are all Xinluzhong No. 67, No. 66, and Xinluzhong No. 50 recommended by the Yizhou District Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, and some are seed cotton from cotton companies chosen by some farmers.

Zhang Chunyong said that during this period, in accordance with the relevant document requirements of Hami City and Yizhou District, they actively encourage farmers to purchase agricultural insurance for the cotton they grow to avoid risks caused by some natural disasters, because this year’s cotton sowing volume is relatively small. In addition, the cost of planting is relatively high, so natural disasters can only be avoided by buying insurance to reduce farmers’ losses.

Wang Duo told reporters that cotton planting is now fully mechanized, which not only saves costs and reduces labor intensity, but also promotes cotton quality and efficiency. The germination rate of cotton under “mechanical precision sowing + dry sowing and wet sowing” is above 90%.

In order to promote the high quality development of the cotton industry and guide villagers to transform cotton planting and production into full mechanization, this year Dewaili Township coordinated 8 large-scale precision cotton seeders , 15,000 acres of cotton have adopted mechanized precision and under-film drip irrigation sowing technology, and a high-quality development guarantee plan for cotton planting and production has been formulated based on the soil moisture, weather conditions, family labor force, etc. in Dewaili Township. According to Yidiris Aimaiti, director of the Planning Office of Dewaili Rural Town in Hami City, the South Gobi Development Zone in Dewaili Township entered a period of strong winds in April and May. During this period, the seedlings and mulch films planted by farmers are susceptible to damage. In response to this situation, the Dewaili Township Party Committee promptly notified farmers of the weather forecast through home visits, WeChat groups, etc., organized cadres to provide services to the affected farmers, and did a lot of publicity, so that all farmers purchased insurance in advance.
