This Year The Western Climate Is Cool. Xinjiang Cotton Production Is A Foregone Conclusion.

< p > "from May to the present, the temperature has been low, and it is still raining. At this time in the past, cotton was covered with peaches.

In July 25th, Chen Kezhong, the 12 regiment of the 86 regiment of the fifth division of the regiment, looked at the cotton in the field and was worried. "Wait for ten days to pass the volt, even if there is no peach blossom,"

< p > Chen Kezhong planted 300 mu of cotton this year. Under normal circumstances, the yield per mu is more than 400 kilograms. But judging from the present growth, he expects that the output of cotton per mu will be reduced by about 100 kg.

< /p >

< p > at present, the reduction of cotton yield due to weather is no longer a case.

According to the Economic Crops Research Institute of Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Xinjiang's cotton production has been cut down this year by climate change, with a reduction of up to 10%.

However, if the temperature is prolonged this year, if the temperature is high in autumn, the loss of production will be slightly reduced.

< p > according to a survey by the Economic Crops Research Institute of Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, cotton grows well in Manasi, Wusu and Jinghe areas in Northern Xinjiang this year. In the southern Xinjiang, Kashi, Bazhou, Akesu and other places, the growth of cotton is affected by climate. The growth period is 10 days -15 days later than in previous years.

Especially in some counties and cities of Kashi, it is also hailstorm and low temperature. The weather has great influence on cotton growth.

< p > it is reported that in June and July this year, hail hit counties and cities, including Kashi, Yuepuhu, Mengaiti, Yengisar, Shache, hotspring County, Bole City and so on.

"Hailstones are as big as eggs, and in less than half an hour cotton is polished."

Yuepuhu County cotton grower Han Qi said that his family's 20 mu cotton production has reduced by more than 50%.

< /p >

< p > "now it is most hoped that the weather will get better in August and September and the autumn temperature will increase. The loss of cotton production will be saved."

Wu Yingmei, a cotton grower in Wenzhou County, Bole County, said.

< /p >

< p > according to the statistics of the agricultural sector of autonomous region, the total cotton output in Xinjiang accounted for the first time over 50% of the total cotton output in 2012, reaching 3 million 180 thousand tons.

For this year's climate is cool, and is not conducive to the growth of cotton, the Xinjiang investigation team of the National Bureau of statistics indicates that the agricultural sector should pay close attention to it. It is estimated that if the cotton price change factor is not considered, the per capita net income of the farmers will be reduced by 32 yuan per 1% reduction in cotton production.

< p > the economic crop Research Institute of Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences reminds cotton farmers that under the present circumstances, cotton growers should do well in the middle and later stages of field management and should be "big and small" in management.
