Industrial Cluster: Xinjiang Awati County Strengthens Cotton Field Management To Help Increase Yield And Income

At present, it is a critical period for cotton field management. In recent days, all townships (towns) in Awati County have paid close attention to cotton field technology management, comprehensively improved the level of agricultural scientific management, and laid the foundation for this year's high yield and harvest of cotton.

A few days ago, the reporter walked into a cotton field in Tograklek Village, Tamutograk Town, Awati County. Rows of green cotton seedlings swayed with the wind and were full of vitality. The villagers were driving cultivators to carry out intertillage operations. The scene was busy.

The villager Arziguli Tuerhong planted 100 mu of cotton land this year. Under the guidance of agricultural technicians and her own careful management, the cotton in her family is growing well, which makes her confident about the high yield of cotton this year.

Arziguli Turhong, a villager in Tograklek Village, Tamutograk Town, Awati County, said: "Now 95% of the cotton seedlings have come out and grown very well. The agricultural technicians in the town have given me special guidance, which is very accurate. I will manage cotton as required to increase my family income."

In order to win the bumper harvest of cotton production this year, all townships (towns) in Awati County took a number of measures to set off a cotton field management craze, so as to arrange early and start early, and the field management will catch up as soon as the seeds are landed. According to the growth situation of cotton, water and fertilizer management shall be reasonably applied, and the method of promotion, control and adjustment shall be adopted. Measures shall be taken according to local conditions, seedling management and classification guidance. Water and fertilizer shall be dripped timely for weak seedlings to promote the transformation and upgrading of weak seedlings. Chemical control and manual control shall be carried out by machinery and manpower to effectively control plant height and promote the scientific growth of cotton. At the same time, intensive cultivation and weeding should be strengthened to ensure that the fields are clean and the seedlings are even and strong.

Deputy Mayor of Tamutograk Town, Awati County Gao Shan, secretary of the Party branch of Tograklek Village, said, "Our village has planted 21800 mu of cotton this year, including 5800 mu of long staple cotton. Later, we will coordinate the town water pipe station to supply sufficient water, coordinate agricultural machinery, do a good job in UAV pesticide spraying and cotton cultivation, and escort the cotton production and harvest."
