Huangmei Cotton High Yield Project To Help Farmers Increase Income

"In 2010, cotton planting experienced severe disasters such as late spring frost and torrential rain.

Huangmei is a national high quality cotton base county. The annual cotton planting area is more than 200 thousand mu, and the total output of lint is more than 20 thousand tons.

In 2010, the county took the goal of stable production, high yield and balanced increase in production, and vigorously launched the cotton quality and high-yield activity to create a bumper harvest of cotton production during the year of disaster.

Statistics show that in 2010, the county cotton planting area of 220 thousand and 500 mu, an average yield of 102 kg of cotton linen, the total output reached 22 thousand and 500 tons; cotton farmers Mu net income of 1500 yuan, an increase of 950 yuan over the previous year, a record high.

To build a demonstration base of "10000 mu demonstration villages, 1000 mu demonstration villages, 100 mu high yield research and demonstration farms and high-yield demonstration households", we should actively establish a demonstration base for high quality cotton production, and promote the cotton growers in the county to expand their planting area.

In the 6 cotton producing areas of Tsai Shan, Kong Long, Xiao Chi and shunting, the county has held 1 provincial and ministerial level high quality cotton production demonstration plots, 6 acres of demonstration villages, 12 Mu high yield research and demonstration farms and 50 high-yield demonstration households.

At the same time, we will carry out scientific and technological household activities and improve cotton planting technology level.

The County Agricultural Bureau set up a special technical group and dispatched 30 technical classes to carry out technology promotion and service activities, which effectively promoted the establishment of high yield of cotton.

In view of the outstanding problems of cotton production density in recent years, such as sparse density and delayed premature senility, the county has comprehensively optimized and promoted the cotton high yield integration technology, constantly improving the quality and efficiency of technical services, and promoting the high yield of cotton.

It is mainly reasonable increasing density, implementing soil testing and formula fertilization, comprehensive control of diseases and pests, unified supply of seeds, and application of organic fertilizer.
