With the arrival of the Lixia solar term, cotton sowing in Xinjiang has basically ended. Since there were relatively few extreme weather events in Xinjiang in April this year, and a large number of precision seeding machines were put into use, cotton sowing progressed smoothly and the sowing cycle was significantly shortened. Snowfall occurred in many places in northern Xinjiang at the end of April last year, causing many cotton fields to be replanted or even reseeded. This year, the majority of cotton farmers have summarized their historical experience. Large-scale cotton farmers have appropriately dispersed and concentrated sowing time. At the same time, through timely dripping of water and emergence of seedlings, they can promote cotton seedlings to germinate as early as possible under good weather conditions and reduce the long-term dependence of cotton seedlings on temperature and humidity.
It is understood that after entering May, the cotton seedling emergence rate in most areas of southern Xinjiang has exceeded half, and after the May Day holiday, the weather in Aksu continues to be mainly sunny, with temperatures remaining at 16-30 degrees, providing good conditions for cotton production. in good condition. There are dusty and sandy weather in many places in northern Xinjiang, but it has not had much impact on cotton growth. According to feedback from some growers, the income from cotton planting has increased significantly in the past two years. Although land rental fees, chemical fertilizers and other planting costs have increased, driven by the considerable profits, farmers have a positive attitude towards increasing cost investment and purchase humic acid raw powder to reduce salt. New measures to conserve farming and increase yields, such as using alkali to increase ground temperature, have been widely used. In addition, online and offline planting technology training has been continuously carried out from the Corps field to local agricultural cooperatives, which has provided a solid foundation for this year’s cotton harvest.
The National Cotton Market Monitoring System launched a nationwide cotton planting intention survey in mid-to-late March. The results show that China’s intended cotton planting area in 2022 is 43.98 million acres, an increase of 789,000 acres or 1.8% year-on-year. Among them, Xinjiang intends to plant cotton. The area was 36.39 million acres, a year-on-year increase of 2.3%. In addition, as farmers in Xinjiang continue to improve their planting techniques and the frequency of extreme weather decreases during the same period, cotton yields are expected to increase this year, and farmers have higher expectations for a bumper cotton yield this year.
