The Trend Of Mechanized Cotton Production Can Save Cotton Plantation 70% Labor Cost.

The reporter learned from the recent cotton mechanized field observation and new cotton varieties exhibition held in Anyang, Henan, that in recent years, the Cotton Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences combined with the Nanjing Agricultural Mechanization Institute increased the R & D strength of the whole cotton mechanization in the the Yellow River basin and the Yangtze River valley cotton area, and realized the integration of Agronomic and Agro machinery. The whole process basically realized mechanization, which could save about 70% of the labor cost of cotton planting.

Cotton is China

One of the economic crops is also labor intensive crops.

At present, the comparative efficiency of cotton seed and the high cost of human input are the bottleneck factors restricting the development of China's cotton industry. The promotion of mechanized cotton planting has become the fundamental way out for the development of cotton, so as to ensure the sustainable development of cotton production in China.

In recent years, under the support of the national cotton industry technology system, industry research projects and other major national science and technology projects and the innovation of science and technology projects in Nanjing, the Cotton Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Agricultural Mechanization Institute of Nanjing have intensified the research and development of the whole cotton mechanization in the cotton basin of the Yangtze River Basin and Yangtze River Basin.

The integration of Agronomy and Agro machinery.

According to the characteristics of machine picked cotton, we have developed the characteristics of spout concentrate, high fruit branch and high yield and stable yield. Suitable cotton varieties for machine harvesting can lay the foundation for popularizing cotton harvesting mechanization.

The use of biodegradable plastic film mulching reduces the pollution of farmland plastic film and reduces the cotton field's high intensity field film harvesting operation. Harvesting is mechanized harvesting.

Basically, the whole process has been mechanized.

The cost of planting cotton is about 70%.
