Industrial Cluster: Seminar On High-Quality And Efficient Development Of Cotton Industry In Saline Alkali Land Of The Yellow River Delta Was Held

Wudi is a key service county of the national cotton industry technology system. Participants visited the high-quality and efficient cotton production and extension industry of the "Junong Cotton Planting Professional Cooperative" located in Xixiaowang Town, and observed the key technology production effects of the national cotton industry technology system, such as boll opening, mechanized harvesting, etc, Listen to the introduction of technicians to the core demonstration area from laser grader land preparation, Beidou navigation unmanned precision seeding, one-time completion of seed fertilizer film, UAV flight prevention, chemical capping and other field management, as well as the mechanical harvesting of cotton pickers, impurity removal and drying of post harvest seed cotton and other full mechanized production technologies.

The meeting organized experts to carry out on-site evaluation and yield measurement on new cotton varieties suitable for planting in saline alkali land of the Yellow River Delta. The demonstration machine picked cotton varieties produced more than 350 kg per mu, and the machine picked cotton fields had good boll opening and defoliation effects, fully meeting the requirements of machine picked cotton.

It is reported that in recent years, the Economic Crop Research Institute of Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, together with Wudi Agricultural Technology Promotion Department and enterprises, has carried out key technology research and demonstration, such as selection of suitable cotton varieties in saline and alkaline land, integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, and matching of good varieties and good laws. The Economic Work Institute of Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences has arranged more than 30 cotton varieties to carry out comparative planting tests in the local area, screened out varieties suitable for the whole process mechanized production in saline alkali land represented by Lumianyan 37, Lumian 338, Lumian 691, etc., developed and applied supporting light and simplified cultivation, green control and other technologies, and achieved good results. Shiyao Agricultural Development Group Co., Ltd., a cooperative enterprise in the demonstration zone, has purchased new cotton pickers this year on the basis of the production line of machine picking cotton that was built last year, so as to truly realize the whole process mechanization of cotton production and processing.

The relevant person in charge of Wudi County Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau said that in recent years, Wudi County has introduced professional scientific research teams to conduct a lot of experiments and explorations in the introduction and screening of new cotton varieties, the demonstration and implementation of advanced cotton planting technology, and the investment of supporting equipment, which has accumulated replicable experience for the high-quality and efficient development of the cotton industry in the Yellow River Delta with full mechanization as the core.

Chen Changbing, head of the Economic Operation Department of the National Agricultural Technology Extension Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, pointed out that the moderate recovery and development of cotton production in the mainland is a strategic requirement for the safe and effective supply of important agricultural products in the country. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the National Agricultural Technology Extension Center will support "industry university research" cooperation and innovation in the whole industry chain, Explore the high-quality and efficient development model of cotton in saline alkali land of the Yellow River Delta supported by appropriate scale and full mechanization.

Researcher Li Fuguang, chief scientist of the national cotton industry technology system and director of the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that the high-quality and efficient development of the cotton industry in the saline alkali cotton areas of the Yellow River Delta is of great significance, and is an important guarantee to safeguard the safety of the national cotton industry. He called on the cotton science and technology personnel to follow the trend and provide strong scientific and technological support for the sustainable development of China's cotton industry.
