Judging from the recent growth of cotton seedlings in southern Xinjiang, the growth of cotton seedlings is relatively ideal. Compared with the same period in 2021, this year there is less severe weather with cooling rainfall, strong winds, sand and hail. In addition, the soil moisture is suitable, and No large-scale cases of non-emergence and blight were found.
At present, the cotton sown in some cotton areas of Bachu, Jiashi and Aksu at the end of March has grown to 3-6 true leaves. Farmers have strong expectations for the growth of cotton yield and total output in 2022/23. A farmer in Yingwusitang Township, Bachu County, said that this year’s cotton planting area is about 2,500 acres, an increase of 500 acres compared with last year. Due to the more suitable weather during the sowing period, cotton seedlings have generally grown to 4-6 true leaves. In the later stage, water, fertilizer and water will be increased. According to field management, if there are no major meteorological disasters, the seed cotton yield per mu is expected to reach more than 450 kilograms.
Judging from the feedback from cotton farmers and cotton processing enterprises, farmland contract fees will generally increase by 300-400 yuan/mu in 2022 (in some areas, the increase will be larger, reaching more than 500 yuan/mu), of which chemical fertilizer investment will increase by 120-150 yuan/mu compared with last year. Yuan/mu, pesticides will increase by 30-50 yuan/mu, irrigation water will increase by 30-40 yuan/mu, and labor costs for tillage preparation, sowing and later field management will increase by about 50 yuan/mu. Therefore, while domestic wheat and corn prices remain high, cotton farmers have high expectations for the purchase price of seed cotton in 2022/23.
