According to the survey, in the 7~8 months of this year, some parts of the the Yellow River River Basin were attacked by severe convective weather such as torrential rain, hail and strong winds. The high temperature and drought in the Yangtze River Basin lasted for a long time.

In the subregion, waterlogging is more frequent than drought in cotton fields in the Yellow River basin. Verticillium Wilt and Fusarium wilt are mixed.

Drought is the main cause of cotton in the Yangtze River Basin, and Fusarium Wilt and Helicoverpa armigera are mostly harmful.

The weather is basically normal in the inland cotton area of Northwest China. Cotton growing in most parts of Xinjiang is better and the extent of the disaster is limited.
