How Far Is The Road To Complete Cotton Mechanization?

Binzhou has been the first to demonstrate the mechanization of cotton in the whole country (outside Xinjiang). With the successful completion of the recent national cotton picking site conference in Binzhou, it will come to an end. However, the author also noticed that cotton There are still many problems in mechanization of the whole process, and the road to complete mechanization of cotton is still a long way to go.

At the demonstration site of picking cotton picking machine, it was crowded with people, and there was no shortage of cotton farmers in the crowd. Cotton growers have seen the direction and trend of cotton industry development from the demonstration site, and the problems that really need cotton farmers to accept cotton picking are not only ideological but also institutional. The problem that cotton farmers care about is the first problem that needs to be overcome in the process of cotton mechanization.

The most important concern of cotton growers is the replacement of farm implements. Cotton grower Every household has a complete set of farm machinery, and the complete range of farm implements, such as farming, broadcasting, and pipe links, can be achieved from planting to collecting, and the investment of household appliances is no small quantity. In accordance with the new cotton mechanization mode, the tractor with small power needs to be changed, and the general machinery and equipment need to be reformed, especially the large machines such as cotton pickers. Zhanhua County bears two years of experimental demonstration, because the mechanization of cotton mechanization is far from being able to hydrolyze near thirsty. The Agricultural Machinery Technology Extension Station of the county agricultural machinery bureau can only guide the agricultural machinery professional cooperatives that undertake the demonstration task to update the power machinery with little power, and improve the machinery needed to combine farming, broadcasting and management with agricultural machinery and agronomy. At present, the platform for carrying out the whole mechanization of cotton is only a professional agricultural machinery cooperative.

After the completion of the test and demonstration, where is the focus of the whole cotton mechanization? The national cotton industry technology system research and development center, director of the Research Institute of cotton harvest mechanization, the position expert of (mechanized cotton), and Zhou Yali, a researcher of the Institute of mechanical equipment of Xinjiang Institute of agricultural reclamation, believes that, from the experience of Xinjiang, although Xinjiang is the earliest place to carry out the whole mechanization of cotton in China, the whole level of cotton comprehensive mechanization in Xinjiang is not very high. In 2011, about 4000000 acres of machine picked cotton were concentrated in Xinjiang, of which 3 million 860 thousand mu were in the Xinjiang Construction Corps, and only 10 million mu in the area. Why is the mechanized level of the Construction Corps high? The key is the regiment's system and mechanism. The focus of Binzhou's future cotton mechanization should be on the scale of demonstration and extension. If there is a good demonstration, cotton growers will follow you, and only by expanding the scale can machinery be used. Large scale promotion requires the concerted efforts of all links. The increase of cotton picking machine and cleaning processing machine must be supported by a certain scale. Only when all the links are coordinated, the days of full mechanization of cotton may not be far away.

Binzhou's machine picked cotton demonstration has accumulated rich experience. Government promotion, policy guidance, sector linkage, market interaction, project pull and demonstration drive will play a greater and better role in the whole process of mechanization. Cotton is the largest economic crop in Binzhou. After the main grain crops are basically mechanized, the cotton plants will be adjusted in time. policy It is urgent for all levels of government and functional departments to promote the mechanization of cotton production.

The whole wheat mechanization in Binzhou took 10 years, and the corn took 5 years. The whole mechanization of cotton is certainly not an overnight event. Considering all aspects involved in mechanization of cotton, we should step by step and step by step under the premise of scientific planning.
