Cotton farming offers significant economic returns, making it a vital source of income for many farmers. Under optimal growing conditions and proper management, yields can reach 700 to 800 pounds per mu, which translates into substantial profits. However, in recent years, the actual output has been far below expectations. Most farmers only achieve around 500 pounds per mu, with very few reaching higher yields. Why is this happening? Several key factors contribute to this issue.
One major problem is insufficient or improper fertilization. When cotton plants don’t receive adequate nutrients, their growth weakens during the middle and late stages, leading to boll loss, fewer fruits, and increased vulnerability to diseases like red stem blight. This directly affects yield. To address this, farmers should focus on scientific fertilization—applying the right amount of nutrients based on soil conditions. This not only prevents waste but also ensures that the plants receive all necessary nutrients throughout their growth cycle, laying the foundation for higher productivity.
Another issue is the selection of unsuitable cotton varieties. Poorly chosen seeds often result in weak resistance to pests and diseases, along with small bolls and poor boll opening. Additionally, the seed market is filled with low-quality products, as some unscrupulous sellers prioritize profit over quality. Farmers must be cautious when purchasing seeds. It's advisable to choose reputable companies and opt for officially tested high-yield varieties to ensure better performance and reliability.
Inadequate technical knowledge and poor farm management also play a significant role. Even under similar growing conditions, the level of management directly impacts the final yield. Some farmers lack a clear understanding of cotton’s growth patterns, leading to mismanagement. This often results in imbalances between vegetative and reproductive growth, causing issues like premature aging or delayed maturity, both of which lower yield. As a result, many farmers end up with outputs around 500 pounds, missing out on potential gains of up to 200 pounds.
To maximize yield, farmers need to understand and follow the natural growth stages of cotton. Proper coordination between vegetative and reproductive growth is essential. During the early flowering stage, it’s important to encourage growth while maintaining strong seedlings. This helps build a solid base for high yield. At full bloom, vegetative growth should be controlled to promote better fruit development, ensuring strong stems, healthy roots, and sufficient nutrients for flowering and boll formation.
Observing the plant’s appearance at different growth stages can help guide management decisions. In the early stages, the plant should grow vigorously without becoming overly lush. The structure should be loose, with strong stems, thin sections, slightly yellow leaves, and more buds. As the plant matures, the focus shifts to reproductive growth. The plant becomes more compact, with thick stalks, short internodes, and robust fruit branches. Leaves remain dark and large, with fewer dropped bolls and better fruit retention.
By following these principles and adjusting management practices accordingly, farmers can significantly improve their cotton yields and overall profitability.
Fluorine-Containing Methylbenzene
Fluorine-Containing Methylbenzene products can be used as herbicides in the manufacture controlling wheat fields, cotton fields and other broadleaf weeds and perennial weeds. It can also be used in the manufacture of antipsychotics drugs.
The Fluorine-Containing Methylbenzene products must be kept under seal, once exposed to light will immediately cause discoloration. It should also be stored in a cool, ventilated warehouse, away from fire and heat. Compartment temperature should not exceed 30 ℃. And make the appropriate technical measures for fire and explosion. Products will Decomposition by high fever and emit toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen fluorid. Due to ts vapor is heavier than air, it can spread from low place to far away places. In case of fire conditions, should not fire with water. In case of a small amount of leakage should be evenly sprayed with dilute hydrochloric acid. In case of large spills should build a causeway or trenching asylum. The transfer pump to tankers or exclusive collector, recycling or shipped to the waste disposal sites.
