The farming season waits for no one. In mid-to-late April, 7.4 million acres of cotton in Aksu area Sowing has entered its peak period. In the past few days, various regions have seized the favorable moisture conditions to speed up sowing progress and lay a solid foundation for increasing production and income this year.
On April 17, the reporter learned from the Aksu Prefecture Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau So far, 4.76 million acres of cotton have been sown in various parts of the Aksu region, completing 64.3% of the planned planting tasks, achieving “more than half” of sowing area and sowing time.
Since cotton planting began in various places in early April, cotton fields have Here, the precision seeder equipped with the Beidou satellite navigation system has become the “protagonist” of spring sowing. The highly efficient mechanized operation of laying drip irrigation tapes, covering, and drilling holes in one go not only speeds up the progress of cotton sowing, but also lays a solid foundation for high cotton yields.
This year, Shaya County plans to sow 1.6 million acres of cotton. When the sowing work is in full swing, the precision seeders equipped with the Beidou satellite navigation system busy in the local fields have become a beautiful sight.
On April 16, in Gulbagh, Shaya County In a cotton field in Ake Village, Zhenya County, Ma Wenbin, an employee of Daxin Agricultural Machinery Cooperative in Shaya County, took his employees to inspect the cotton trenching, planting and film laying. Relying on accurate Beidou satellite navigation and positioning, the unmanned cotton seeder can complete operations such as laying mulch film, drip irrigation tape, and precision sowing in one go. Compared with traditional sowing methods, it not only saves more than half of the cotton seeds, but also Drastically reduces sowing time.
”Cotton sowing has now been mechanized, saving worry and effort. Our cooperative’s 8,600 acres of cotton fields can be sown in about 15 days, which was something that was unimaginable in the past,” Ma Wenbin said happily.
Aksu Region has implemented a series of new policies to benefit the people, including agricultural machinery purchase subsidies. , vigorously promote agricultural mechanization, which not only reduces the labor intensity of farmers, but also makes agriculture a promising industry.
Awati County plans to sow 1.35 million acres of cotton this year. Agriculture The widespread use of mechanization in the fields has accelerated the progress of cotton sowing in the county and promoted the transformation of the cotton industry from quantity to quality.
Yang Binbin is a large cotton grower in Duolang Community, Awati Town , thanks to the precision seeder equipped with the Beidou satellite navigation system, his family’s 430 acres of cotton were sown in less than 4 days. “The sowing quality is high, and the seeds are placed in straight rows and evenly. Mechanical sowing is more efficient.” Yang Binbin said with emotion.
This year, in order to further consolidate the advantages of high-quality cotton production base, Aksu region Stabilize the cotton sown area at around 7.4 million acres, with the goal of “high quality and high yield”, demonstrate and promote cotton intelligent production technology, and promote the Internet of Things, big data, 5G�The application of information technology such as technology and intelligent control in cotton production will speed up the pace of “mechanical replacement” of cotton production and realize the intelligent transformation of cotton production.
Statistics show that in agricultural production in preparation for spring plowing this year, various regions have invested in agricultural machinery There are 166,500 tools, including 18,500 seeders, which has accelerated cotton sowing this year. It is expected that all cotton sowing tasks will be completed in the Aksu region around April 25, about 7 days earlier than last year.
