Epidemic Situation Cotton Spring Sowing Work

In recent days, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The whole country is about to start spring sowing. In order to ensure agricultural production, Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council has made instructions that spring ploughing is coming and the farming season is pressing. The relevant departments of all localities should conscientiously implement the spirit of general secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, implement the decision making arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and co-ordinate efforts to promote epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.

The end of February is a period when cotton farmers prepare for spring sowing materials. It is very important to get through the supply of agricultural materials, farm machinery and farmers. In the early March, a small number of cotton growers began to sow in southern Xinjiang, and late spring cotton varieties were widely planted in late March to early April. If the epidemic continues until the end of March leading to delayed spring sowing, some cotton farmers may replant early maturing varieties, which will have a certain impact on output. Of course, in addition to personnel control, this year's drought in southern Xinjiang also has a certain impact on cotton agricultural water.

Cotton growers in Akesu area told reporters that winter irrigation or spring irrigation must be carried out before planting cotton, otherwise they could not be planted. According to their cotton area, the proportion of winter irrigation and spring irrigation cotton fields accounted for half. From the end of February to the beginning of March, there will be spring irrigation in cotton fields where no winter irrigation has been carried out. At the latest late March, if the spring irrigation is not yet available, the cotton sowing date will be postponed, which will have a great impact on cotton yield. For cotton fields that have been irraged in winter, they are sowed below the end of the epidemic.

According to the North Xinjiang cotton personage, the spring sowing time in the northern Xinjiang was later than that in the southern Xinjiang. There were differences in the spring sowing time in some areas, some in early April, and some in late April or early May. According to the current epidemic control situation, coupled with the strong impetus of the government, I believe it will not affect the spring sowing in April in the northern Xinjiang.

It is understood that, in view of the spring sowing work, many places in Xinjiang have issued "guiding opinions on spring planting and spring sowing during epidemic prevention and control", so as to ensure the supply of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, seeds and other means of production and spring sowing work smoothly.
