The Progress Of Cotton Seeding Is Coming To An End In Parts Of Xinjiang And Gansu.

The cotton seeding progress in some parts of Xinjiang and Gansu is coming to an end. The cotton planting area in these areas has changed greatly compared with that in 2015.

In addition, the cotton seed problem also affects cotton growers' cotton planting activities.

It is reported that although most farmers realize the quality of cotton, only a small number of farmers conscientiously select high-quality varieties, and the vast majority of farmers are at a loss as to what to do in the vast variety of cotton varieties.

Sampling survey of farmers in Dunhuang City, Guzhou county and Jinta County in Jiuquan area, in 2015, the total cotton planting area of these 12 cotton farmers (sampled households) amounted to 264 mu, with an average yield of 260 kg, and seed cotton sale price of 5.2 yuan / kg, and 150 yuan per mu subsidy, and all 12 cotton growers in 2016 were converted to other crops.

The region is also not optimistic. After sampling survey of farmers in Bazhou, Hami, Hami, Korla, Yuli County and ho Shuo county, the total cotton planting area of these 217 cotton farmers in 2015 was 77513 mu, with an average yield of 360 kg. The average selling price of seed cotton was 5.25 yuan / kg (excluding subsidies), and the total area of cotton planting in 2016 was 71556 mu, down 7.69% from the same period last year.

Among them, the total area of cotton planting in Bazhou was 68362 mu in 2015, and the total area of cotton planting in 2016 dropped to 61699 mu, down 9.75% from the same period last year.

The cotton planting area in 2016 was 20% lower than that in 2015.

The reasons for the decline are as follows: 1. There is a serious shortage of water in Pu Hui Township, Pu Hui farm and Bao Jia Hu farm. Some plots can not be sowed without spring water. Although some plots have been sown, farmers are worried that the latter can not keep up with the yield seriously. 2, the plots are not included in the subsidy policy; 3, the plots of cotton which are not suitable for planting (low cotton yield per unit area).

(surveyed households) 2015 cotton planting area of 9151 acres, an average yield of 400 kg or so, seed cotton sales average price of 5.3 yuan / kg.

In 2016, the total area of cotton planting reached 9857 mu, an increase of 7.71% over the same period last year.

There are 3 reasons for the increase of the area: 1. The alternative cash crops suitable for large area cultivation are limited; 2, the yield per mu of cotton is relatively high; 3, some farmers begin to plant machine harvested cotton, and the income is relatively high.
