The Continuous High Temperature And Drought Weather In Akesu Has Affected The Normal Growth And Development Of Cotton.

Over the past few days, due to the eastward shift of Iran's Deputy High East, Xinjiang has experienced prolonged hot weather in southern and Akesu regions, especially in China.

The highest temperature in Awati County, Akesu, Xinjiang, climbed to 37 degrees Celsius.

Due to continuous hot weather, the flowering and Bolling stage is in bloom.

There are drought, water shortage, pests and diseases.

The local government has taken a series of measures to organize the agricultural technicians to go deep into the field and guide cotton farmers to do well in field management, so as to escort the healthy growth of cotton.

A cotton field in Ismailyan Kulbani, a village of Dulang village, Duan Lang Township, Ti County, saw that the cotton plants that were in the Bolling stage were wilted by the hot weather and aphid.

The phenomenon of mites and other pests and diseases has made it difficult for Ai River, kurbani Ziz: "these days the temperature is particularly high, and cotton is also suffering from drought, and aphids are also beginning to spread."

I am very worried that the technician explained to me how to manage scientifically and how to prevent pests and diseases. I also want to make efforts through my efforts to have a good harvest at the end of the year.

This year, Awati county has planted about 1300000 mu of cotton, including 1 million mu of long staple cotton.

Due to the fact that the cotton is in the flowering and Bolling stage, its own needs are relatively large, coupled with continuous high temperature and drought weather, pests and diseases such as Aphis gossypii and spider mites frequently occur, which directly affects the normal growth and development of cotton.

In view of the current cotton growing situation, Awati County agricultural water conservancy departments and other departments have been dispatched by collective operations, such as timely sluicing, water spraying, pesticide spraying, agricultural technology experts to go deep into the field, guiding cotton farmers to do field management and other measures.

Xing Haiye, director and senior agronomist of Awati County Agricultural Technology Extension Center in Akesu, Xinjiang, said: "in the near future, our agricultural technicians continue to guide the farmers to scientifically fertilize, scientifically irrigate, and scientifically prevent insects, and strengthen the operation and management of our cotton dropper. Through scientific hands, we can minimize the occurrence of pests and diseases caused by this year's weather and drought, so that cotton can resume growth as soon as possible."
