To achieve the goal of "three increase" in area, total output and yield per unit area, a high-yield field with a yield of 160 kg per mu and even 200 kg of lint per mu was produced.

In this year, the price of cotton market is lower than that of last year, and the Akesu area is one million.

Only 250 kilograms of seed cotton per mu can be produced, with a net income of 1000 yuan per mu.

Four years ago, the village began to carry out drip irrigation under cotton. The cotton yield per year reached 350 kg seed cotton, and the net income per mu was 1500 yuan. Three years ago, the village began to test hybrid cotton. Now cotton yields 500 kilograms of seed cotton, and the net income of cotton per Mu is 2500 yuan.

His family's total income of 10 mu cotton is 25000 yuan this year.

The popularization and application of new technology not only improved the efficiency of cotton planting, but also liberated the vast number of cotton farmers from heavy agricultural labor.

"Using precision seeding and integrated control technology, only one kilogram of cotton seed is used in an acre of land, and the weeds in the field can hardly be seen, and the work is much easier."
