In The World'S Largest Cotton Region, The Tarim Basin Began To Sow Cotton Seeds.

As the temperature continues to rise, the Tarim Basin, known as the world's largest cotton growing area, has been sowing seeds below a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > cotton < /a >. Compared with previous years, the sowing time was 10 days ahead.
< p > in the Yuli County of the northern margin of the Tarim Basin, 600 thousand mu of cotton fields have been sown. In order to further improve the cotton yield per unit area, cotton growers have generally adopted the "machine picked cotton" planting mode, and soil testing and formula fertilization, precision seeding, high-density cultivation and other cotton planting techniques. It is understood that this year more than 80% of cotton fields in Yuli County will use efficient water-saving drip irrigation technology. < /p >
< p > since the temperature rising in the southern part of Xinjiang is relatively fast since mid March, the highest temperature at noon is generally above 20 degrees Celsius. In the Akesu area on the western edge of the Tarim Basin and the Kashi area in the south, the cotton seeding has been started recently. In Mengaiti County, Kashi, known as the "hometown of cotton", cotton growers rush to catch up with the favorable opportunity for the current temperature rise and soil moisture to start sowing cotton. It is estimated that 460 thousand acres of cotton planting in the county will end before April 15th. < /p >
< p > according to the analysis of the industry, in recent years, the state has invested more and more in the construction of Xinjiang's high quality < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton base < /a > year by year, improving the scale, specialization and mechanized production level of the local cotton production, ensuring the stable and high-yield cotton production in Xinjiang. In addition, recently, the state started the temporary storage and storage of cotton temporarily, making the domestic a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > cotton price < /a > stable operation, effectively protecting the cotton growers' interests and cotton growing enthusiasm in Xinjiang. < /p >
< p > in 2012, the cotton planting area in Xinjiang reached 24 million 700 thousand mu, and cotton output exceeded 3 million 200 thousand tons, accounting for half of the total cotton output in the country. Among them, the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang is the largest cotton producing area in China and the world. In recent years, the annual cotton output has exceeded 2 million tons, accounting for nearly 1/10 of the total cotton output in the world. < /p >
