    Cotton is also suitable for planting in my hometown, but the planting area is not as good as before, and most cotton farmers plant for their own use, and there is no idea of profit. So, the enthusiasm of cotton farmers in some places to plant cotton is not high, the reason is **?

    Cotton farmer **cotton** is not high here I personally think that the cotton ** mentioned by the subject is high, which should refer to the wholesale ** on the market, which can reach 8 yuan catty, or even higher. However, this ** is not buying cotton from cotton farmers**. In fact, cotton farmers have a very low cotton income, 2 4 yuan catty.

    If you analyze according to this **, the yield of one mu of cotton is very low, and it can only bring 400 600 catties of commercial cotton.

    Here is an example of 3 yuan jin purchase ** and 500 kg of commercial cotton per mu, with an output value of 1,500 yuan. For the cotton field with an output value of 1,500 yuan, cotton farmers need to invest fixed costs, physical and chemical costs, labor costs, and total yuan. As a result, the profit from cotton planting is only 10,000 mu.

    If the profit is too low, of course, it will not be able to motivate the villagers to grow cotton.

    Cotton planting is too troublesome, and it is also a major factor that farmers are unwilling to plant, cotton planting is a technical job, to carry out seedlings, sowing, fertilization, spraying and other links, but also often go to the ground to catch insects. These links need to be carefully taken care of by cotton farmers, otherwise the yield will inevitably be reduced, and the cotton yield is not high, and the reduction will inevitably affect the final income. In addition, these links of cotton require a lot of labor, resulting in high labor costs, from the above cotton planting costs, it is very obvious, occupying, more than half of the total cost.

    Among them, the labor invested in picking cotton should be the most, and each cotton needs to be picked out one by one by hand, which is time-consuming and laborious.

    It can be seen that the manpower invested in cotton is too large, and the labor cost is too high, which has also become a major factor for many farmers to be reluctant to plant cotton.

    Because its cost is very high, and it is easy to cause some pests and diseases. It will also consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

    Here I personally think that the cotton ** mentioned by the subject should refer to the ** wholesale on the market, which can reach 8 yuan catty, or even higher. However, this ** is not buying cotton from cotton farmers**. In fact, cotton farmers are divided into spring cotton, summer cotton, spring cotton in early April nutrient bowl seedlings, a month after transplanting the field, summer cotton in mid-May rape harvest can be planted, the cost of planting cotton is high, the seed price of 300 grams of about 60 yuan, plus the bottom fertilizer, top dressing, cover fertilizer, prevention and control of all kinds of according to my understanding, cotton is not particularly high, even in the past two years cotton into the trough period, and the cost of planting cotton is high, the corresponding subsidies are relatively reduced, so the cotton planting area is also reduced, At least we don't see a single cotton plant here.

    <>, cotton is an indispensable raw material for our daily home, it is not only a raw material for us to make clothes and sew bedding, but also widely used in industry and medicine. And in the countryside before, basically every household would plant some cotton, but now cotton farmers can't afford to eat, originally the state subsidy is to subsidize cotton farmers when the supply exceeds demand when the cotton price plummets, and when the cotton supply is less than demand, the state is not subsidized! As a result, when the yield is high, the cotton boss presses the state subsidy, and the cotton should have been more gratifying in the past few years, and the cotton is also widely used, and it is widely used in the textile industry and other lives.

    The main production area of cotton is Xinjiang, and the current national average price of seed cotton purchase price is in yuanjin, the national century basically does not plant cotton, the reason is that cotton is labor-intensive, all day long is either pesticides or pruning, and so the cotton is picked every day. Since planting, I have been working in the cotton field every day, our generation is old and young to work in the city, it is better to plant wheat cobs, ** so low may be related to supply and demand, we do grow less and less cotton here. First of all, the cost of cotton picking is high if it is not mechanized.

    Planting cotton is very cost-effective, and few farmers plant cotton because they can't grow it at all in many areas, except for Xinjiang, the quality of cotton grown in other places is not good, because of the geographical environment.

    1.At the seedling stage, the soil temperature should be stable at 12 14 before sowing, and the soil moisture should be 65% to 80%. The suitable temperature at the emergence stage is 18 20, and the soil moisture is 55% 70%2The suitable temperature at bud stage is 25 30, and the soil moisture is 60% to 80%; The suitable temperature of the flowering and boll stage is 25 30 years, but the distribution is uneven in each month, and there is drought and waterlogging.

    The number of days of the growing period and the active accumulated temperature of 10 are sufficient for the early and medium-maturing varieties and the early-maturing varieties of wheat stubble and cotton varieties in spring, but the number of days of the growing period and the active accumulated temperature of 10 for late-maturing varieties are slightly insufficient, and it is obviously insufficient in case of low temperature in spring and autumn or late sowing.

    The frost-free period is long, especially suitable for cotton planting, and the raw cotton produced has good color, long fiber and high quality. In particular, in many cotton areas, because the water source comes from the ice and snow melt water from the high mountains, there is no irrigation water for nearly half a year from the whole winter to the spring of the next year, and it is difficult for other crops to grow, and cotton does not need water this season. Abundant heat, sufficient light, drought and little rain, large temperature difference between day and night, is conducive to the growth of cotton, is the national high-quality cotton production base, but also the highest proportion of the national fiber cotton regional total output, the highest yield level of the region, cotton fiber length, specific strength, micronaire value are in line with the requirements of the textile industry.

    According to the actual situation in recent years, there are the best sowing on April 20-25, the best sowing on April 15-19, and the best sowing on April 26-30, and the sowing date can not be absolute. In the south-central Hebei region, most varieties can be considered for sowing on April 15, and the sowing date is suitable until the end of the month. Cotton requires deep soil, loose soil, suitable soil moisture, and low groundwater level.

    Cotton has a wide range of adaptability to soil pH, can grow normally in the range, and also has a slight salt and alkali tolerance, but generally neutral to slightly alkaline is appropriate. There are more than 400 kinds of cotton seeds in China, and different cotton species are planted in different geographical locations, and the yield is also different, so we must first choose cotton seeds in combination with our current geographical location.

    The planting conditions of cotton have sufficient light, the light is kept at 8-12 hours, and there is enough water, the temperature of seed growth is 10-20 disturbances, and the temperature of flowering should be about 25-35.

    Abundant heat and macro: The lower the average daily temperature, the more accumulated temperature is required from sowing to emergence. From flowering to flocculation stage, the heat conditions not only affect the yield of cotton, but also affect the quality of cotton, which is rich in heat and high in yield.
