Xinjiang'S Cotton Output Is Not As Good As Last Year'S.

"Before July this year, all parts of Xinjiang were basically in good condition, and cotton production was the best in recent years. Many farmers gave high hopes for cotton harvest.

After entering July, hot weather occurred in most parts of Xinjiang. The highest temperature in some areas exceeded 40 degrees centigrade, which was extremely unfavorable for cotton growth. The number of cotton peaches and peach was not as good as in previous years.

In the middle of August, the hot weather continued, and there was also strong wind.

Since late August, the continuous low temperature weather has affected the formation of cotton top peach and delayed the bolting time of cotton bolls, which made a large number of green peach and stiff peach appear in some cotton.

Ma Congbao, general manager of Urumqi Cotton Textile Co., told the futures daily that Xinjiang cotton production is not as good as last year.

Reporters and his colleagues visited Nong Xinxin agricultural cooperatives and ginning plants, Xinjiang Zhutian Logistics Co., Ltd., silver-cotton industry group, Shihezi Tian Yin Logistics Co., Ltd., Shihezi Beiquan town zhujiaxing community, Kuitun Concord cotton industry and Huimin cotton industry, North Xinnong Jia Le limited liability company, Jinghe County Hai Xiang cotton industry company, agricultural five division cotton and hemp supply and marketing company and other units.

Sun Tao, who has been engaged in cotton trade for 11 years in Xinjiang, has taken the whole year as a whole. It has encountered adverse weather damage in the late growth stage. Cotton production is not as good as last year, whether in North Xinjiang or southern Xinjiang.

From the analysis of journalists' grasp, this year, Xinjiang

Both the total output and the total output will decline, and the reduction of production will be a foregone conclusion.

It is understood that in order to guide the planting structure of crop varieties to become more rational, this year during the cotton growing season, the relevant departments of Xinjiang issued some measures and policies to guide farmers to reduce cotton planting. Some cotton fields and low yield cotton areas were replanted to other crops. At the same time, a lot of areas occupied a part of cotton fields due to the needs of urban construction.

In addition, because of the decline in cotton yield in recent years, some cotton growers have replanted corn, wheat, vegetables, melon, Cucurbita melon and fruit trees, which led to a decline in cotton planting area this year.

"In 2014, the cotton planting area in Xinjiang was 39 million 200 thousand mu. This year, the estimated area is only 33 million 300 thousand mu, and the cotton planting area of local and regiment groups is reduced by about 15%."

Zhang Wenmin, the general manager of the Huaxin Wanda futures cotton industry ministry, told reporters that, owing to the reduction in planting area, only this one would reduce the total cotton production of Xinjiang by 500 thousand tons in the case of normal production.

La Fu, general manager of Xinjiang Zhutian Logistics Co., Ltd. is born and bred.

According to him, cotton was planted around the company 3 years ago, and now almost no one can be seen.

Reporters from Urumqi to Shihezi, on the way to see the most crops are corn, wheat, millet and fruit trees, and in the past 40% of the land along the road is cotton, now only 10%.

Many farmers told reporters that planting corn and other inputs, high income, low risk, cotton planted more, loss is large, not cotton worry.

In addition to the decrease in planting area, the yield per unit area is also decreasing.

"7, 8, two months, high temperature above 39 degrees Celsius for 19 days, seriously affected the normal growth of cotton, this year.

The number of peaches is obviously less than that of last year, and the weight of single bolls has also dropped significantly.

A person in charge of 73 thousand acres of cotton field production in North Spring Town, Shihezi, said that the output of cotton production was 370 to 380 kg / mu (cotton seed the same below) this year. The actual output of the machine was only 280 - 290 kg / mu. The cotton boll weight dropped from 4.1 grams to 4.2 grams last year.

Reporters saw in some cotton fields that this year's cotton is generally not peaches, and the number of peach and peach is not large. Many cotton plants still have a large number of tightly wrapped green peaches. With the further drop of temperature, these green peaches are basically useless.

In addition, reporters also found that due to weather reasons, a lot of cotton that has fallen foliage still has stuck phenomenon, and there are a lot of crooked peach, which will affect cotton yield and total yield.

However, there are still some areas where the management and planting of high temperature resistant hybrid cotton have little impact on their yield and total yield.
