Hangzhou Aided Construction Of Cotton Drip Irrigation Project Implemented &Nbsp; &Nbsp; &Nbsp; Akesu Cotton Land Increased Production And Income.

In November 1st, Akesu, Xinjiang Wang Hao, head of Xinke farm, has published new data: implementation. Construction of cotton drip irrigation project in Hangzhou After that, the farmers increased 80 kilograms of seed cotton per mu. It is estimated that this year's cotton farmers in Akesu will benefit from "Hangzhou aided construction", and seed cotton will increase by 3600 tons.

In the context of the current rise in cotton prices, local cotton farmers can increase their income by at least about 44000000 yuan this year.

　　 China Cotton capital Akesu

Hangzhou's counterpart support Akesu is an important cotton production base in the country. It is an important cotton trading hub and textile gathering place in Xinjiang. It is known as "China Cotton capital" and "the hometown of China's long staple cotton".

Akesu's cotton production accounts for 1/8 of the whole country, and long staple cotton accounts for 93% of the total output of the country. So there is a saying that "cotton in China looks at Xinjiang and Xinjiang cotton looks at Akesu".

However, because of the low level of local economy, many farmers are unable to use the technology of drip irrigation under cotton mulch.

Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient water-saving technologies in the world. It was invented by Israelis, which can save irrigation from irrigation and save a lot of water.

Drip irrigation technology helps cotton increase, mainly because the relationship between cotton and water is very important. If there is no water, cotton will not grow. In the past, irrigation was not good enough. If there was too much water, some of the cottons would atrophy.

The cotton drip irrigation project built by Hangzhou is an organic combination of plastic film cultivation technology and drip irrigation technology. First, the drip irrigation belt is buried underground, and then the cotton is planted on the top, so that the traditional irrigated land can be turned into crops.

A metaphor is to "drip" the cotton and pump up the ground water with a pump, so that the water will drip down to the cotton field along the drip irrigation, and there will be holes in the belt directly to the cotton root.

In this way, the soil is always loose and the best water cut state. With the film mulching, the evaporation of water will be greatly reduced, and the water consumption will be greatly saved. In addition, fertilizers and pesticides can also be spanported to cotton through drip irrigation belts, eliminating artificial fertilization.

This year, the central government proposed to launch a new round of counterpart support for Xinjiang and Hangzhou's counterpart support in Xinjiang, Akesu, June.

14 selected cadres from Xinjiang arrived in Akesu. One of the 9 aid projects launched earlier was to help farmers in Akesu use the technology of drip irrigation under cotton mulch. {page_break}

More than 40 thousand acres of cotton fields benefit from drip irrigation to increase production

In November 1st, Akesu Xinke farm was one of the location of Hangzhou's cotton drip irrigation project. Xinke farm has 78 households, more than 4200 mu of cotton land, Uighur cotton farmers and Han cotton farmers. Wang Hao is the farm leader recruited by farmers, and is a native of Akesu.

In November, it was the picking period of cotton. Wang Hao took me to the cotton field to see the brown cotton pole supporting a full of cotton, and a group of Uighur picking cotton girls, adorned with colorful scarves on their heads, which were very nice.

Wang Hao said, "Hangzhou's aid construction this year is really timely. The weather is bad this year, and it has raining several times. Many cotton bolls died in the water. Fortunately, the Hangzhou aid project has come to subsidize every peasant household, and the drip irrigation project has been used in cotton fields. It is expected that the increase of 80 kg per mu of seed cotton per mu has just made up for the loss caused by the weather factors.

Hangzhou counterpart support Gao Guofei, Party Secretary of Akesu command and Shao Jinghua of command and planning construction group, summed up a set of data:

Akesu's 45 thousand mu cotton land has been included in the pilot project of Hangzhou's efficient water-saving irrigation project. The total area of drip irrigation has reached 43 thousand and 134 Mu and more than 2600 households have benefited from it.

Akesu cotton business Wenzhou people over 20 thousand

Jinxiang cotton mill is one of the largest cotton factories in Akesu. It is invested by Wenzhou people. It has been 21 years since Wenzhou man Ma helped the boss manage this factory.

Mr. Ma said that from September to December, it was the acquisition season of cotton. This time to Akesu cotton business Wenzhou people, about more than 20 thousand. Cotton purchasing prices are changing almost every day, and we are actively buying cotton from cotton farmers and selling them to cotton processing enterprises.

The capital of Wenzhou businessmen in Akesu is about about 5000000000 yuan, most of which are used in the acquisition process, and very few are used for planting cotton. "Therefore, Hangzhou's aid for the construction of cotton drip irrigation projects and the increase of cotton growers are also good things for us." Mr. Ma said
