The best thing about spring is the spring. Since the beginning of spring, a beautiful picture of spring plowing has unfolded in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
At present, the spring sowing in our district is coming to an end. Thanks to the good climatic conditions and sufficient preparation work, the overall progress of spring sowing in the district this year is faster than that of the same period last year. So far, the spring sowing area in the region has exceeded 48 million acres, the spring wheat sowing task has been successfully completed, and the cotton sowing area has exceeded 23 million acres. The total sowing progress has exceeded 90%, and the progress is 2.4 million acres more than the same period last year.
The progress of seizing the farming season is fast
This year, Li Sancheng, a grain farmer in Kreyahad Village, Angrig Town, Wenquan County, got busy early, overhauling agricultural machinery and equipment, making good reserves of agricultural materials, and investing in spring plowing production before the snow completely melted.
“This year’s spring wheat subsidy policy is good. I have planted 70 acres of spring wheat, and I hope to have another bumper harvest.” Li Sancheng said that this year he expanded the spring wheat planting area. The staff of the local agricultural and rural departments have provided support for agricultural supplies, agricultural machinery maintenance and technology. We provide all-round services to grain farmers in terms of training and other aspects to help them seize the farming season and complete sowing work in a timely manner.
Tang Yiwu, director of the Planting Industry and Pesticide Management Division of the Autonomous Region’s Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, introduced that this year, agricultural and rural departments at all levels in our region will not miss the farming season to promote spring agricultural production work. In accordance with the “grain sown area shall not decrease compared with the previous year, “Strive to increase production”, implement the sowing of grain, especially spring wheat, effectively implement the strategy of storing grain on the ground and storing grain in technology, and firmly grasp the initiative of food security. All localities and departments should rationally formulate irrigation and water supply plans, prioritize water supply for food crops, seize the farming season, implement the sowing plan tasks for grain and important agricultural products, increase agricultural input reserves, promptly solve difficult and difficult problems in the supply of agricultural inputs, and make plans , procurement, transportation, warehousing and other work to ensure that the demand for agricultural inputs is effectively guaranteed.
Technical guidance for seedlings is good
The total output of winter wheat accounts for nearly 30% of the total grain output in our region and more than 60% of the grain rations. Implementing winter wheat field management measures and ensuring stable and increased winter wheat production is very important for stabilizing the annual grain output in our region.
“Affected by unfavorable factors such as the late sowing date of last year’s winter wheat, high winter temperatures, and less snowfall, the return of winter wheat in the region this year is weaker than last year.” Tang Yiwu said that this year, various regions in the region have adopted measures based on actual conditions. Targeted measures have been taken to ensure that winter wheat turns green smoothly. The Southern Xinjiang Wheat Region has done a good job in surveying the seedling condition of winter wheat after overwintering, providing “point-to-point” guidance and services to fields with deviated seedling conditions and insufficient populations, and implemented measures such as irrigation and top dressing during the greening period to promote the transformation and upgrading of seedling conditions; the Northern Xinjiang Wheat Region has coordinated We must take all aspects into consideration, do a good job in all field management tasks in spring, take effective measures to prevent the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, strive to improve the seedling conditionquality, and try our best to minimize risks.
“Under the guidance of agricultural technicians, our wheat has completed field management such as impurity removal, watering, and pest control for many times. The seedlings are currently in good condition and growing better than last year.” Pai Pai, Udalik Town, Shache County Ayishamu Maimaiti, a villager in Ziawati Village, said that with the help of agricultural technicians, good seeds and good technology were used in wheat planting this year, and he is confident about a bumper wheat harvest.
In order to deliver more practical technologies to grain farmers, during this year’s spring plowing period, the Autonomous Region’s Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Xinjiang Agricultural University and other units jointly selected experts and technical backbones to form 10 expert research and guidance groups. It went deep into 14 prefectures (prefectures and cities) across Xinjiang to help farmers solve technical problems in spring plowing production, implement management measures such as fertilizer and water regulation, resolve the risk of winter wheat overwintering, and promote the implementation of key measures in the fields.
With the joint efforts of all parties, the main grain-producing areas in our region have overcome the adverse effects of the early climate. The quality of winter wheat seedlings in the region is significantly better than that in the early stages of turning green. The winter wheat in southern Xinjiang has successfully entered the filling period, and the winter wheat in northern Xinjiang has successfully entered the filling period. Winter wheat in Xinjiang has gradually entered the booting growth stage.
Intelligent agricultural machinery shows its skills
This year, the district has invested more than one million units (sets) of agricultural machinery and equipment to support spring plowing production. Various types of intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment are galloping in the fields, such as plant protection drones, water and fertilizer integrated equipment and other intelligent agricultural machinery with high automation and strong precision operation capabilities. Equipment has been “entered into battle” one after another and has become the “protagonist” of spring plowing production.
Benefiting from the strong support of mechanized sowing, this year, Shaya County, a major cotton planting county, has widely promoted the “dry sowing and wet planting” cotton planting technology, achieving cost savings and efficiency gains in cotton production.
“This technology changes the previous sowing method of planting seeds first and then covering them with film and soil to covering them with film and soil first and then planting them. Sowing can be carried out directly without spring irrigation. While saving water, it can achieve uniform cotton seedlings. The growth goal of strong, uniform seedlings.” Aizezi Aihemati, a member of the Dolekun Cotton Farmers’ Professional Cooperative in Shaya County, said that this year the cooperative has 4,000 acres of land to pilot the “dry sowing and wet planting” cotton planting technology. Each mu of land saves about 130 cubic meters of water. The benefits of new technology are obvious.
Since the beginning of this year, our district’s agricultural and rural departments have specially organized expert technical service teams to go deep into the front lines of agricultural production to carry out work on the maintenance of agricultural machinery for spring plowing production, production safety, and the implementation of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policies.Provide guidance to help various localities promote advanced agricultural machinery equipment and production technologies and improve the level of agricultural machinery operations. While promoting agricultural machinery and equipment urgently needed for agricultural production in various regions, we will focus on promoting intelligent, efficient, and green agricultural machinery and equipment, increase subsidies and promotion of machinery and equipment in the forestry and fruit industry, animal husbandry, and primary processing of agricultural products, and promote the mechanization of specialty crops in the region. The level continues to improve.
With the mutual promotion of advanced agricultural machinery and equipment and supporting planting technologies, during this year’s spring plowing period, advanced agricultural production technologies such as “dry sowing and wet seeding”, “precision sowing”, “wide film mulching” and “water-saving drip irrigation under the film” were used throughout the country. The area has been promoted and popularized, and the comprehensive benefits of agricultural production have been further improved.
