Interpretation Of Cotton Production Situation In The Mainland

As the saying goes, cotton is "sitting in Peach in July, tenderness in August, not bad in September, and a bumper harvest in October". However, judging from the weather and cotton growth in the real estate area, cotton farmers' field management needs to be strengthened if they want to get a good harvest.

Zhang Jiangang, a cotton trader in Ningbo, told reporters that during the rainy season, cotton growers must strengthen field management in order to prevent the bolls from falling off. In the meantime, we should also use the fine weather to catch up with the bell fertilizer in a timely manner, and cultivate and cultivate the soil.

In addition, from 7 to September, cotton pests and diseases are in high occurrence time. Cotton farmers need timely spraying insecticides to control cotton bollworm, pink bollworm and Fusarium wilt.

"7 to August is the peak period of cotton Bolling and fertilizer demand. At this time period, the number of cotton sitting peach is related to the increase or decrease of cotton production."

Lu Xian futures cotton researcher Zhou Dalong told reporters that from the current Shandong, Hebei, Hubei and Henan and other real estate area cotton growth analysis, affected by adverse weather, the mainland cotton production situation is not optimistic.

According to Zhou Dalong, first of all, in the mainland part of the cotton area, such as Shandong and Hebei, there was a dry and rainy weather in July, which was not conducive to the increase of the number of peach bearing cotton. In the same period, excessive rainfall in Hubei and other cotton areas was not conducive to the flowering and Bolling of cotton.

Secondly, after entering August, Shandong and Hebei cotton areas with early drought and little rain continued to rain. This not only was not conducive to the formation of autumn peach, but also caused many peaches to fall off or rot.

According to the reporter, if the summer rainfall is too concentrated, coupled with higher temperature, it is easy to adversely affect cotton growth.

Precipitation is concentrated, one is easy to cause floods and floods, resulting in cotton production reduction; two, when the rainfall duration is longer, it is easy to cause cotton to fall and bud, and eventually the rainy and light weather will lead to low cotton sitting rate, which makes the number of cotton bearing peach and Autumn peach less, mature and shedding.

"From the analysis of the actual planting area of cotton in the real estate area this year, the total output of cotton in the mainland is estimated to be greatly reduced, mainly due to the excessive drop in area."

Zhou Dalong said that the cotton planting area of some farmers in Shandong province has been reduced by half this year, and the cotton planting area of most farmers has been reduced by 1/3 over last year.

The cotton planting area announced by the Shandong provincial agricultural department shows that the total cotton planting area in this province has been reduced by 1/3 over last year.

Reporters learned in the interview that cotton prices in recent years have continued to decline, coupled with the shortage of labor in rural areas and the rapid increase in labor costs, the cotton production area in the mainland has generally been reduced, such as Hubei, Hebei, and so on.

Cotton farmers in different places have turned the cotton fields into corn fields.

Told reporters that in addition to the mainland cotton production situation is not optimistic, this year's total cotton production in Xinjiang also has the possibility of decline.

At the same time, drought and high temperature are not conducive to the improvement of cotton quality. If this weather condition continues, it will result in short cotton length, coarse fiber and high sugar content.

In addition, the cotton planting area of Xinjiang has also declined this year. Because of the further optimization of the agricultural planting structure this year by the Xinjiang corps and the local government, the measures to reduce cotton and increase grain have been implemented extensively, resulting in a reduction in the cotton planting area in Xinjiang, such as

The cotton planting area of the Corps decreased by 1 million 350 thousand mu compared with last year.
