Industrial Cluster: Aksu Actively Organizes Cotton Farmers To Carry Out Cotton Topping Operations

At present, 7.5 million mu of cotton in the region has entered the critical period of cotton topping. In recent days, various regions in the region have actively organized cotton farmers to carry out cotton topping operations during the rush for agriculture.

On July 7, when we walked into the cotton field of Palhati Aizezi, a cotton grower in Kuoshkerek Village, Aybage Town, Awati County, we saw only 10 villagers lining up, busy with cotton topping.

"We can't wait for the topping of cotton, and we must do it in time when the season comes." Parhati Aizezi said that his family's cotton harvest was bumper last year because of the timely topping. This year, he set about ahead of time, seizing the time to top cotton and promote cotton to bear fruit.

As an important part of cotton growth, cotton topping can make the top of branches and branches of cotton return nutrients, turn to the development of cotton peach, achieve the purpose of automatic capping of cotton plants, avoid the enlargement of leaves, improve field permeability, and achieve cotton production.

This year, 1.3 million mu of cotton will be planted in Awati County. In order to realize the high yield and harvest of cotton, the county strictly controls the time nodes and organizes all townships (towns) to guide cotton farmers to timely complete the cotton topping operation and help the high yield and harvest of cotton in accordance with the principle of "early harvest of flourishing seedlings, late harvest of weak seedlings, and timely harvest of strong seedlings".

At present, it is in the "golden period" of cotton growth. The agricultural and rural departments of Kuqa City organize agricultural technicians to go deep into the field to guide cotton farmers to do a good job in cotton field management, laying a solid foundation for the city's 1.8 million mu of cotton yield and income.

"In topping, one leaf should be pinched at most, and one mind should not be pinched too many leaves..." On July 6, in a cotton field in Keqilike Village, Wuqia Town, Kuqa City, Zhao Hongxia, a technician from the agricultural technology promotion center of the city, was guiding the cotton farmers in the village to do a good job of topping.

Yang Hongying, a cotton farmer in the village, said, "With the guidance of technical personnel, we soon learned the tricks of cotton topping, and had more confidence in increasing cotton production and income."

This year, Keping County planted 135000 mu of cotton. At present, the county has organized cotton farmers to carry out cotton topping operations during the farming season.

"Our cotton is growing very well this year, and now I will carry out cotton topping every day to try to increase the per mu yield of cotton," said Wang Xiaobing, a cotton farmer in Keketograk Village, Qilang Township, the county.

Since July, the region has popularized cotton topping knowledge, improved the level of cotton field management, and ensured the progress of cotton topping by holding agricultural field meetings, holding cotton topping technology training classes, issuing technical materials and other forms.

According to the statistics of the regional agricultural and rural departments, up to now, the cotton topping area of 1.15 million mu has been completed in various regions of the region, and it is expected that the cotton topping operation will be completed in the middle of July.
