At present, our province is short of grain and cotton oil land, and cotton is pferred from plain to mountainous area.

New varieties should be introduced to deal with the shrinking crisis.


"In recent years, the rapid development of cash crops has made cotton, which relies on manual labor and cost more, has gradually shifted from plain to mountainous area."

Yesterday, Professor Zhang Xianlong, vice president of Huazhong Agricultural University, made suggestions on the "2011 provincial expert forum on grain, cotton and rape". Timely introduction of a number of new varieties will help alleviate the contradiction of land use in the cotton producing areas of the Yangtze River Basin.


According to statistics, nearly 5 million tons of cotton in China each year.

Imported

However, at present, 450 thousand tons of cotton planted in about 7000000 acres of land in our province are far from meeting the demand of 12 million tons.

However, the traditional cotton production has many costs, large investment, low returns, low mechanization and disasters, which has resulted in the shrinking of cotton planting area in recent years.


Professor Zhang Xianlong believes that cotton production should be promoted.

Mechanics

The new varieties can save land resources and cope with high temperature and drought and Verticillium wilt.
