Guidelines for adjustment of planting structure in cotton producing areas

Recently, Hubei Provincial Department of Agriculture issued the "Guidelines for the Adjustment of Planting Structure of Cotton Production Areas in Hubei Province" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"). According to the Opinions, Hubei Province intends to use the principle of “market-oriented, technology-based, efficiency-enhancing, and adaptation to local conditions, and adjustment and integration of stability” as the principle, to reduce cotton area and develop grain production; In the cotton area, optimize the layout of cotton fields; develop modern cotton planting technology to improve cotton production efficiency and efficiency.

The "Opinions" specify the cotton planting technology line and do a good job of adjusting the cotton planting structure according to the ideas of "reduction, stabilization, replanting, and quality improvement." We will focus on reducing the low-yield and scattered cotton areas with a yield per unit below 80 kg. Stable production of more than 90 kilograms of the main advantage of the main cotton-producing areas and acres of high-yield more than 2,000 yuan, stable production and high-efficiency cotton. Poor conditions for water sources, low topography, easy to collapse or “disease wilt” disease seriously reduce the cotton fields, and poor water source conditions should be changed to corn, soybeans and other crops. At the same time improve the quality of the cotton industry, strengthen the construction of high-yield projects in the dominant cotton-producing areas and high-yield and high-yield cotton areas, optimize the high-yielding cultivation techniques for integrated cotton-planting and promote the use of light-simplified cultivation techniques, and moderately develop high-yielding crops such as intercropping watermelons and maize. Improve the level of cotton production and the benefits of cotton planting, effectively increase cotton production, and increase cotton production.
