Xinjiang Corps'S Machine Picked Cotton Area Reached 5 Million Mu This Year.

The latest data from Xinjiang corps, this year,

The area of machine picked cotton reached 5 million mu, 1 million 500 thousand mu more than last year, and the number of large cotton pickers reached more than 1000. The area of machine picked cotton increased year by year, and the rate of mechanization of cotton production increased year by year.

"In the 120 thousand mu cotton planted this year, the area of machine harvested cotton reaches 108 thousand mu."

Xinjiang production and Construction Corps Agricultural first division Propaganda Department staff told reporters.

Xinjiang regiment Nong Yi Shi regiment is located in Akesu area of southern Xinjiang, planting 120 thousand mu of cotton this year, with 20 cotton pickers.

At present, 108 thousand mu of machine picked cotton has been fully developed.

Reporters learned that this year, the entire Xinjiang Corps Nong Yi division, cotton planting area of 1 million 700 thousand acres, of which 1 million 200 thousand acres will be realized by machine, for workers to save more than 300 million yuan.

In order to popularize the effective link between machine picking and processing of cotton harvester, the division invested 100 million yuan to expand and expand the cotton processing and production line of each regiment, effectively solving the problem of incomplete cotton processing.

For each cotton picker, 3 to 4 sets of flower cars are equipped to reduce the pile up flowers and speed up the processing of machine picked cotton.

Up to now, more than 260 cotton pickers have gone to the first line of cotton picking, and we expect to complete the task of machine picking cotton by November 10th.

Xinjiang Corps is the most important commercial cotton production base and quality in China.

In the production area, the annual output of cotton accounts for 1/6 of the country's total and exports account for half of the total output.

Since 1995, cotton yield per unit area, cotton per capita, commodity rate and export rate have always been the first in the country. The quality of cotton resources has always been a pride.

However, due to the low degree of mechanization of harvesting links and the shortage of labor due to harvesting time, the industrialization of cotton and the development of modern agriculture have been seriously hampered.

To this end, the Xinjiang corps, while organizing artificial picking, has been making more efforts to popularize cotton picking in recent years, so as to cope with the shortage of pickers and overspend.

The data showed that the mechanization rate of cotton production in Xinjiang Corps increased year by year, and the number of flower picking workers decreased year by year due to the vigorous promotion of machine picked cotton. In recent years, the average annual reduction of cotton production was 100 thousand.

In early 2011, the Xinjiang Corps proposed to use 3 to 4 years to complete mechanized cotton picking in the whole corps and promote the whole mechanization of cotton.

In the same year, the Xinjiang Corps was planted

3 million 500 thousand mu, accounting for nearly 50% of the cotton sown area, and the area of machine picked cotton increased by nearly one million mu in 2010.
