Cotton Growing Is Temporarily Blocked In The Changjiang Huaihe River Valley.

After entering the plum Valley, the rainwater in the Yangtze Huaihe River Basin increased, and the illumination was less.

According to experts, cotton is a kind of warm and drought tolerant crops, but the necessary water and fertilizer conditions are indispensable. Because of warm and drought tolerance, cotton tolerance and short waterlogging are also unique. In the 90s of last century, the Yangtze River Basin suffered floods and floods twice. At that time, the cotton industry chain in the mainland was developing vigorously. Jiangsu, Yancheng, Nantong and Yangzhou shouted slogans "vowing cotton harvest and striving for lint Wan Wan county". Facing the plant height of four or fifty cm, the cotton plant was flooded, leaving only the tip of the leaf to shake on the water. The local cotton farmers continued to fight against floods and drains all day long to save cotton from the water. Immediately after the disaster, cotton fields were remedied vigorously, and a series of measures such as water damage and fertilizer supplement, drug control and disease prevention were implemented, resulting in cotton harvest in the year of calamity.

In the Jianghuai cotton region, 6, 7 and 8 months are the key period for cotton to build high yield structure and yield and quality. During this period, Jianghuai was windy and rainy due to its geographical and meteorological characteristics, which was unfavorable for cotton growth. But experts believe that the vast majority of cotton farmers have accumulated a lot of experience and technology in many years of production practice, plus the plasticity of cotton itself, so long as the key 6-7 months do not occur. Heavy natural disasters such as heavy floods, strong tropical storms and hailstones will have no significant impact on the production and supply of cotton quality and quantity in the Jianghuai cotton region. In the area with more than 10000 mu, the agricultural technicians have already strengthened the management of the cotton field water system and the supplement of the fat medicine as early as the plum rains season, and told the cotton farmers that the cotton will be flourishing after the plum blossom.

Recently, the cotton market in Jianghuai region fluctuated slightly. The standard grade lint went down to the factory price of 12000 yuan per ton, which was about 100 yuan lower than that of the beginning of the month, but the impact on the textile market was not great. Despite the fact that local cotton production is not as good as before, farmers are still concerned about the cotton market, indicating that the traditional cotton growing areas still have potential for cotton production.
