Weifang's First Large-Scale Mechanically Picked Cotton Reduces Costs

Recently, Weifang has been in Hanting, Shouguang, Changyi and the locals. cotton The cooperation of planting professional cooperatives and large cotton farmers has carried out the experimental demonstration work of cotton picking, and selected 3000 mu of saline alkali soil and 3000 mu cotton for the experimental demonstration base of supply and marketing machine. Large six row cotton picker The workload of 1 hours is equivalent to the workload of 10 hours of 60 labor forces, and the cost per mu is 310 yuan or less than that of manual picking. The net recovery rate is 96%, which does not affect two times of cotton re harvest, and greatly improves the picking efficiency. Now let's learn more about it.

Since 2013, Weifang's supply and marketing cooperatives have been foothold. Weifang cotton In cooperation with local cotton growers' professional cooperatives and cotton growers in Hanting, Shouguang and Changyi, 3000 acres of salinized land were selected to actively carry out experimental demonstration of machine picked cotton. The experiment is based on the newly established Yinhai cotton planting cooperatives cooperative association. It adopts the "six unified" full mode cropping pattern of unified farming and land consolidation, unified organization of agricultural supply, unified fertilization, unified prevention and control, and unified machine harvesting. Based on the supply and Marketing Cooperative seed breeding and extension technology center, the planting technology training is carried out. Scientific, standardized and meticulous field management is applied to cotton fields. The whole mechanization operation is carried out in all links such as land tillage, seeding, chemical control, spraying, harvesting and so on. In ensuring cotton quality and yield, the production cost per mu can be reduced by 280 yuan, increasing farmers' income by 480 yuan. From the current harvest situation, the yield per mu is 50 - 100 Jin more than that of conventional cotton. Changyi 1400 Mu Machine Cotton picking demonstration base From sowing to harvesting, only 5-6 people are employed, and the cost of labor is saved by 550 thousand yuan.

Next step, Weifang supply and Marketing Association We will sum up practical experience in a timely manner, comprehensively promote the construction of machine picked cotton and the operation and service system of cotton industry, and expand the cotton industry and strengthen the cotton brand according to the requirements of scale, standardization and brand. The plan will expand the planting area to 100 thousand mu in 2014, and the area of the cotton link hosting service will reach 200 thousand mu. The cotton production in Shandong Weifang will be further improved, and the first harvest of machine picked cotton will be reduced by 280 yuan.

　　 Shandong Weifang first batch of machine picked cotton began to harvest mu, reducing the cost by 280 yuan.

In October 27th, the first batch of machine picked cotton in Weifang, Shandong province began to harvest in the Bohai Bay cotton mechanized demonstration garden. Vice mayor of Weifang Qin Wei Qiang Field observation on the machine site.

It is understood that, in order to promote the scale, mechanization and standardized production of cotton planting in Weifang, the Weifang supply and marketing cooperatives this year selected 3000 acres of saline alkali soil in Hanting, Shouguang and Changyi to carry out the experiment of machine harvested cotton cultivation. After the whole mechanized operation, the production cost of cotton per mu is reduced by about 280 yuan. At present, the machine picked cotton has entered the harvest stage, and it is expected to increase more than 480 yuan per mu.
