2016 cotton production mechanization level reached a new high

[China Agricultural Machinery Industry News Network According to statistics, the 2016 national cotton planting area of 5064.2 acres, 630.8 acres decrease year on year, down 11.1%; cotton yield of 105.5 kg / mu, an increase of 7.1 kg / acre year on year increase of 7.2%; cotton The total output was 5.343 million tons, a decrease of 260,000 tons year-on-year, a decrease of 4.6%.

2016 cotton production mechanization level reached a new high

Mechanization is the main way to increase the production of cotton, and it is also the key to the upgrading of the cotton industry. Xinjiang is one of the major cotton producing areas in China. In 2016, the area of ​​cotton harvested in the whole region was 3.63 million mu. The mechanization level of cotton in the northern Xinjiang cotton area has reached 89%, and the machine utilization rate has reached 65%. Among them, Xinjiang Shawan County Agricultural Mechanization Statistics Annual Report shows that the county's cotton mining area this year is 1.5534 million mu, accounting for 95.3% of the total cotton planting area, up 5.9% year-on-year, and hitting a record high.

Compared with Xinjiang, the mechanization level of cotton production in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is still low. However, under the concern of the agricultural machinery sector, the level of agricultural mechanization has also improved. On May 31, 2016, in Jingmen City, Hubei Province. The Agricultural Machinery Academician and the Cotton Academician Expert Workstation jointly conducted a live demonstration of cotton machinery in the Qujialing Management District. After two years of full mechanization test demonstration of cotton production, the agricultural machinery and agronomician workstations gradually formed relatively complete technical regulations. The mechanical sowing varieties are Huanian 3109, Zhong 190, Zhong 50, cn01, and the special planter for cotton with a row spacing of 66+10cm and a plant spacing of 15cm ensures the machine broadcasting standard of 12,000 mu per mu, and conquers the cotton machinery of Jianghan Plain. The technical difficulties of sowing. At present, the area has been promoted to spread nearly 100 acres of cotton. Cotton producing areas such as Shandong have also driven the mechanization of cotton production through the construction of a modern agricultural industrial technology system cotton innovation team.
