* * the 30th regiment of bingtuan to explore new ways of cotton production and popularize hybrid cotton seed production technology

Since July, the staff and workers of the fifth company of the 30th regiment of the second Agricultural Division of the production and Construction Corps have punctually come to the 3110 + agricultural hybrid seed production cotton field of the company at 12: 00:00 and 19: 00:00 every day to emasculate and pollinate cotton.

In recent years, the 30th regiment has taken the increase of cotton output as a breakthrough to increase the income of workers, vigorously implemented the ten main agricultural technologies and six precision technologies in accordance with the requirements of "high quality, high yield, and high efficiency," and popularized fine varieties in an all-round way. improve cotton yield and quality. Over the years, it has relied on cotton seeds provided by local seed companies for flower production, and there are some defects in cultivation and cultivation, such as poor adaptability, easy degradation and high seed price. in order to change this situation, the 30th regiment introduced cotton hybrid seed production technology in 2007. in 2008, it showed the characteristics of high yield, good quality and strong adaptability, and achieved good results.
