A New Planting Pattern In Nangong, Hebei: Summer Sown Cotton + Winter Wheat

　　 I've heard of cotton for a long time. Grow seedlings In July 24th, the author came to Dang Jia Zhuang village, Nan Du office, Nangong, and was attracted far from the cotton fields here: the cotton seedlings in other plots are only ten centimeters high, and the cotton plants are already one meter high, and the peach is strong and strong, and it is well organized with melon, green onion and mung bean.

The villagers are pruning for cotton. Zhang Heping Tell the author: "this cotton can be picked up in a month, 40 days earlier than the traditional cotton. We can catch up with the winter wheat early, but this has never happened before. It is understood that this year, the city has 2300 acres of cotton land to implement this new technology.

The annual growth of cotton in Nangong is about 500000 mu, accounting for 65% of the cultivated land in the city. Because the growth period of summer sown cotton is long, the land is idle after harvest. With the gradual expansion of cotton planting area, the production of grain has been affected, and the contradiction between cotton and wheat has become increasingly prominent. To this end, the relevant departments of the city and the cotton professional cooperatives are linked to the Cotton Research Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and boldly introduce the new technology of summer seeding and cotton transplanting with local conditions. According to the introduction of agricultural technicians, the cultivar was cultivated and transplanted one month earlier than the traditional cotton, and it was harvested a month earlier. It won time for planting winter wheat and formed the pattern of "summer sowing cotton + winter wheat" planting. It broke the rule of three years of cotton and wheat, and changed to two crops a year. At the same time, it also changed the traditional summer sowing cotton harvest late, frost after more flowers, low yield, poor quality and so on. increase cotton Intercropping and interplanting provide more room for farmers to increase their income.

The new technology has led to the change of planting patterns and accelerated the increase of farmers' income. It is understood that the cotton technology used in this year's cotton field can yield more than 70 kilograms of lint, and only one intercropping can increase 200 yuan. The Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences has set up the first demonstration farm of seedling raising and transplanting in this province, attracting more and more cotton farmers to get rich.
