Green Leads Cotton Industry To Save Cost And Increase Efficiency

 

"The cotton in our village is not only of good quality and sufficient yield, but also the level of green prevention and control of cotton is constantly improving." Sun Yingchun, Secretary of jueken village's Party branch, said that this year, jueken village adopted the integrated technology of drip irrigation, water and fertilizer. Farmers can operate cotton fields with mobile phones, which not only saves a lot of manpower, but also greatly improves the utilization rate of fertilizer.

 

"Green prevention and control technologies such as food attractants, insecticidal lamps and biopesticides are widely used in cotton production to reduce pesticide use, reduce agricultural non-point source pollution, and avoid pesticide harm to farmers." Sun Yingchun said that in recent years, some highly toxic pesticides have been completely banned, and relevant alternative technologies have been popularized. The cost of pesticides and chemical fertilizers per mu of land can be reduced by about 100 yuan, and the average yield of cotton can be increased by 50 kg, realizing an increase of nearly 200 yuan.

 

In the first half of this year, with "improving quality, reducing costs and increasing benefits" as the core, the whole region continued to promote cotton planting, and further concentrated in the advantageous production areas. More than 1.4 million mu of cotton fields without water source guarantee and fruit cotton intercropping were reduced, and the cotton variety structure was further optimized. In order to promote the high-quality development of cotton industry, the agricultural and rural departments, in combination with the work of "China endosulfan elimination project", actively promote green prevention and control technologies such as ecological control, agronomic measures, physics, natural enemies and biological pesticides, based on the screening test of endosulfan alternative methods and the development of green prevention and control technology mode of cotton diseases and insect pests, Boost the quality and efficiency of the industry.
