Xinjiang Cotton Watch Corps

China Cotton looks at Xinjiang, Xinjiang cotton looks at Corps. In July, it is the flowering and boll period of cotton, large areas of green cotton fields in the bright sunshine, highlighting the hope of a bumper harvest. BINGTUAN people successfully planted cotton in Northern Xinjiang and achieved high yield, ending the history of "no cotton planting in Northern Xinjiang since ancient times".

Due to the alkaline soil in Xinjiang, large temperature difference in summer, long sunshine time and frost free period, the cotton here is famous for its white color, long velvet and strong pulling force, which is a high-quality cotton variety in China. The eighth division is an important high-quality cotton production base in China, with cotton planting area accounting for 1 / 12 of the whole country and 1 / 4 of the whole Corps; The total output accounts for 1 / 10 of the whole country and 1 / 3 of the whole Corps.

"The first agricultural company of the 14th and third regiment of the eighth Division has a cotton planting area of 3800 mu. The whole company uses the Beidou navigation system for unmanned sowing, and adopts the mode of machine picking cotton cultivation and drip irrigation under the film. At present, the mechanization degree of farming is 98%, the degree of sowing mechanization is 100%, and the rate of mechanical cotton harvesting is 96%." Agricultural technician Xie Yong told reporters that the drip irrigation mode under the film saves manpower and reduces the waste of water resources; It takes a lot of time to pull out the seeds of the previous machinery, which can replace the manual one; The large-scale application of cotton picker completely gets rid of the tedious and inconvenient manual picking.

In recent years, the Communist Party committee of the 14th and 3rd regiment has increased the adjustment of industrial structure. The relevant functional departments of the regiment and the "two committees" of the company have done a good job in the whole process of technical guidance services from the aspects of agricultural facilities, planting technology, selection of fine varieties, field management, etc., and applied new technologies to develop agricultural production relying on science and technology, improving quality and efficiency, and laying a solid foundation for high yield and income.
