Hebei Cotton Grows Better And Cotton Growers Have Higher Expectations For New Cotton Prices.

Recently, the national cotton market monitoring system, Hebei Baoding and Hengshui monitoring station, made a field survey of cotton growth. It is understood that the cotton growth in Hebei is better than that in the same period last year, but cotton is basically a "drought resistant" crop.

Whether or not the field management is timely and in place is the key factor affecting the harvest this year. Cotton growers are expected to raise their cotton yields and expect higher prices for seed cotton in the new year.

At present, Hebei Province Cotton generally entered the buds stage, and the height of cotton plants was mostly 70-80cm. The individual height was 90cm, which was higher than that of last year. It was 5-10cm higher than that of last year. The main reason for this year is that the rainfall is enough to cause the cotton plant to grow faster. 6-9 branches per fruit branch, 7-18 buds and 1-2 buds of the bud are all higher than that of last year. Judging from the current growth situation, if the weather is normal in the middle and later stages, the picking time of seed cotton is expected to be 5 days in advance. Cotton growers predict that the yield per unit seed can reach 400-500 Jin / mu, which is higher than that of last year.

Field management is particularly important in the bud stage, and the management will immediately set up a good shelf for high yield and good harvest. The main management work of cotton farmers in the field is as follows: first, strengthen pest control work. The main pests are: Helicoverpa armigera, pink bollworm, bug bugs, Aphis gossypii, spider mites, etc. cotton growers have chosen 2-3 pairs of insecticides and insecticides have been controlled. The disease is mainly caused by Fusarium wilt, and the disease is removed in time to avoid affecting other healthy cotton plants. The two is to raise the grass and clear the ditch to cultivate the soil.

There was a lot of local rain. Cotton grower More tillage can remove weeds and dredge the field ditch. On the one hand, it can improve soil moisture conservation ability, on the other hand, reduce the humidity of cotton field and enhance the lodging resistance of cotton plants. The three is pruning control and reducing wastage. At present, the stability of cotton plants is the key. Cotton plant growth will cause the decline of field permeability and the loss of nutrition. In order to reduce losses, cotton farmers will timely remove old leaves and old shoots to ensure cotton growth and reduce the rate of cotton bud abscission.

It is understood that cotton farmers in Hebei basically understand that this year the country no longer carry out storage, but for seed cotton purchase price is still expected higher, under the premise of high cost of physical and chemical, expectations. Unginned cotton The purchase price can reach 4 yuan / Jin. This year, the state abolished the temporary cotton purchase and storage policy, and launched a pilot cotton target price policy in Xinjiang. Although the local agriculture departments are also actively seeking cotton related measures, the mainland has not issued relevant policies.

Take zhengmian futures price as an example, the current main contract CF1501 price is about 15300 yuan / ton, according to the linen rate 37%, the cottonseed price is expected to be 1.30 yuan / kg, the attrition rate is 2%, and the cotton enterprise acquisition processing link cost is 1000 yuan / ton estimate. It is estimated that during the new cotton listing period, the white cotton 3 class purchase price is only 3.45 yuan / kg, which is not only 0.50 yuan / Jin with the cotton farmers' psychological expectation this year, and the average price of last year's average price is 4.20 yuan / Jin, 0.80 yuan / Jin, cotton growers have indicated that they can not accept the price.
