This year, the cotton in Aksu region will usher in a bumper harvest year, which is based on the investigation of cotton growth in cotton-growing counties (cities) by the Regional Agricultural Technology Extension Center. On August 20, I learned from the Regional Agriculture and Rural Bureau that the regional agricultural technology extension center and the county (city) agricultural technology stations carried out the mid-term survey of cotton growth in this year from July 27 to 31, and scientifically summarized and analyzed the survey data, predicting that the yield of upland cotton and long-staple cotton will increase slightly this year. According to the relevant person in charge of the Regional Agricultural Technology Extension Center, in the mid-term survey of cotton growth, a total of 85,500 mu of cotton fields were investigated in various cotton planting counties (cities), and statistics were made from the cotton plant height, number of fruit branches per plant, number of bolls, number of flowers and number of buds. The survey showed that the bolls and flowers of upland cotton increased slightly compared with the same period of the previous year, and the total number of flowers and bolls per mu of long-staple cotton increased obviously compared with the same period of the previous year. It is predicted that the total cotton output in this year will increase slightly. Cotton is one of the main sources of income for farmers in the region. According to the statistics of the Regional Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the cotton planting area in the region in 2021 is 7.1 million mu, including 6.45 million mu of upland cotton and 650,000 mu of long-staple cotton. The main planting areas are Aksu City, awat, Shaya County and other counties (cities). At present, it is at the peak of cotton, which is also the key period of cotton field management. Cotton farmers in various places should do a good job of integrated regulation of water and fertilizer and pest control to lay the foundation for high yield and bumper harvest of cotton. "I planted more than 300 acres of cotton this year. Under the guidance of technicians, cotton is growing very well. I am busy watering and fertilizing these days. I believe there will be a good harvest." Buyimuti Tucson, a farmer from Kumu Aoyila Village, Airike Town, Baishi City, awat, said. This year, 1.375 million mu of cotton was planted in awat, which is the peak period of cotton peach expansion and fertilizer and water demand. The county organized agricultural technicians to go deep into the fields, and urged and guided cotton farmers to carry out field management in time. Cotton entering the flowering and bolling stage is often a period of high incidence of diseases and insect pests such as spider mites. Xinhe County organizes agricultural technicians to help farmers do a good job in cotton water and fertilizer regulation, pest control and other management work. This year, the regional adjustment and optimization of cotton variety structure, the full implementation of the "one main and one auxiliary" planting mode, increased the planting area of machine-picked cotton and the demonstration and promotion of practical new cotton planting technologies, laid the foundation for increasing cotton production. At present, cotton has entered the middle stage of growth and development in which the yield forming factors tend to be stereotyped, so it is particularly important to strengthen field management. Experts from the Regional Agricultural Technology Extension Center suggested that cotton-growing counties (cities) should actively organize cotton farmers to strengthen water and fertilizer management in the middle and late stages, promote multiple peaches, implement measures to promote early maturity, increase the flower rate before frost, strengthen pest control, and help cotton farmers increase their income.
