A few days ago, held by the national cotton industry technology system, Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences economic crops Institute undertook the Ministry of Agriculture and rural cotton main push technology "the Yangtze River Valley machine cotton standardized cultivation technology" field inspection meeting held in Jianli City, Hubei province.

Team this year, hubei academy of agricultural sciences' institute of economic crops cotton NSW in jianli city town village with jianli city luo peace grain growing professional cooperatives carried out 400 mu cotton-picking machine test and demonstration of demonstration to do our own breeding varieties "EZ9", adopt "a full stand feeding, add close to lose weight, chemical weed control and regulation of plant type", etc.

In the inspection meeting, the participating experts observed the demonstration effect and development mode of cotton mechanical harvesting technology. The seed cotton yield reached 272.8 kg per mu in the inspection site, realized the concentration of boll, concentration of flocculation, concentration of machine harvest, and reached the goal of the whole cotton mechanization, light and simplified cultivation, quality and efficiency improvement, green and sustainable development.

In recent 10 years, hubei cotton planting area gradually decreased, the important cause of this phenomenon are harvested rely mainly on artificial cotton, the intensity of labor is big, and the Yangtze river basin cotton-picking machine standardization cultivation technology research and development of the Yangtze river basin are set up by cotton cultivation technique system of form a complete set, seed cotton yield per mu can reach more than 500 catties, one-time net rate over 90%, It provides a set of high efficiency technical mode for improving the level of mechanized production of cotton, greatly reducing the manual input and increasing the benefit of cotton planting.

It is reported, this technology on cotton production in the Yangtze river basin TouGong much, high cost, labor intensity and the high benefit of planting industry problem has carried out technical research, effectively solve the Yangtze river valley machine cotton-picking nine key technical difficulties, implements the m (oil) of cotton continuous cropping, ensures that the oil does not dispute, raising the overall level of the mechanization of cotton production, It will play an important leading role in supporting the resumption of cotton production in the mainland, maintaining the sustainable and stable development of the cotton industry chain and reliable supply of cotton in the Yangtze River Basin, and improving the efficiency of cotton planting.

"In the various costs of cotton planting, the cost of manual cotton picking is high. It costs 1.5 yuan to pick a catty of cotton wool, and it only costs 0.5 yuan per catty to achieve machine picking. From the need of economic and social development, it is imperative to pick cotton by machine. The cost per kilogram of cotton by machine is nearly 70% lower than that by manual picking." Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences economic crop Research Institute deputy director villa introduction, the team from thousands of varieties selected suitable for Hubei planting machine-picked cotton varieties.

Yi Guoxiang, a researcher of Hubei Provincial Agricultural Technology Extension Station, said that this year's machine-picking experiment demonstration work is a large-scale and effective one in these years. The application of standardized cultivation technology of machine-picking cotton has reduced the fertilizer and pesticide by 40% in cotton fields. Machine-picking has solved the bottleneck problem of cotton production -- labor shortage. In the long run, it is beneficial to realize the sustainable development of Chinese cotton industry.

"Building high-quality cotton planting belts along rivers and lakes, such as Jianghan Plain, and accelerating the research and development and promotion of cotton mechanization technology are of great significance for improving the quality and efficiency of cotton production in Hubei Province and promoting the appropriate recovery of cotton in the Yangtze River Basin." You Aiqing, president of the Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences, pointed out that it is not easy for the demonstration work to succeed in this year's high temperature and particularly dry weather.

In the past two years, the cotton planting area in Hubei has stabilized at about 1.9 million mu. Next, the standardized cultivation technology of machine-picked cotton will be popularized and applied in the cotton producing areas of Hubei Province to improve the quality and efficiency of the cotton industry and increase the income of cotton farmers.
