Akesu: Weather Continues Abnormal, New Cotton Growing Worrying

Recently, cotton and other cotton producing areas in Singapore and Awati have been investigated. It was found that cotton seedlings grew worse in late May than in the same period in 2018 and 2019. From late April to mid May, continuous low temperature, low illumination, precipitation and windy sand weather not only caused large lump of soil, but also seriously affected the growth and replanting of cotton seedlings.

In some cotton fields, due to early planting (late March), replanting and unbalanced nutrition, cotton growth is uneven. A large cotton grower in Akesu national farm said that at present, the survival rate of cotton seedlings is about 70%. The replanting and replanting greatly increase the cost of cotton planting, and the cotton seedling has just grown to 1-2 pieces of real leaves, and the ability of resisting pests and insects is weak. Some farmers in Kai Lang township of Ke Ping county reflected that the weather was abnormal in 4 and May this year, and expressed concern about the growth of cotton in the later stage.

According to the forecast of the autonomous region Meteorological Observatory, on the 21-25 day of May, the precipitation in the southern and western parts of the western region was frequent, and the continuous sand blowing weather in Akesu continued. The lowest temperature at night was only 12-13 degrees, which was not conducive to the rapid development and growth of cotton seedlings. Besides the timely tillage and loosen soil and heat preservation, farmers needed spraying foliar fertilizer on the cotton fields with poor seedling growth and severe Damping off, which promoted root growth, and also prevented large scale pests from occurring.
