Xinjiang Arar cotton opens harvesting work

CCTV News: In the past two days, Xinjiang has opened cotton harvesting. Look at the reporter's report from Xinjiang Alar cotton harvesting site.

The reporter Su Meng: I am now in the bumper harvesting site of two million acres of cotton cotton in Alar, Xinjiang. You can see that many cotton pickers are now shuttle in the cotton field. Cotton in the north and south of Tianshan, Xinjiang has begun harvesting. As an important region of cotton in Xinjiang in Xinjiang, the climate geographical conditions of Alar City are very suitable for cotton growth. First of all, because it is located in the Taklama Gan Desert, there are sandy soil suitable for cotton growth. In addition, the sunshine here is very long. From July to August of cotton growth, the sunshine time can reach more than 15 hours a day, which is very suitable Cotton planting. As one of the main regions of my country's high -quality cotton, cotton planting in Alar has fully achieved science, refinement and mechanization.

Science is mainly reflected in water saving. The cotton field behind me adopted the technology of "dry sowing and wet" when sowing, that is, the seeds directly sowed into the soil and then watered. Through the drip irrigation facilities spread throughout the cotton field, the value of each drop of irrigation water was realized. Scientific distribution, according to calculations, can save 120 cubes of water per mu in one year.

Refined in all aspects of cotton planting. You can see the cotton field behind me. There are 12,000 cotton per acre, and the distance between each cotton plant is strictly calculated at 10 cm apart.

Mechanized is reflected in all aspects of cotton planting. This year, from sowing to picking, the mechanical and equipment used by Alar cotton has all realized localization. Large cotton pickers of my country's independent intellectual property rights behind me have gathered harvesting, cotton rod separation, removing debris and other functions In the collection, a cotton pad can be spit out every 30 minutes every 30 minutes. Local cotton farmers told me that mechanized picking is not only efficient, but also the quality of cotton picked is less impurities than artificial picking methods, and the quality and price are more advantageous.

It is expected that the cotton seasons of Xinjiang will continue from late September to early November.
