Hebei Hengshui Cotton Industry Is Facing Difficulties Under The Influence Of The New National Standard.

The survey was informed that since the middle of July, the whole territory of Hengshui, one of the main cotton producing areas in Hebei Province, has been raining. cotton Growth has a negative effect. Local cotton enterprises have been participating in the international inspection department. Spin Training standards and new revised international cotton classification standards for training, but how to understand and grasp the scale of seed cotton acquisition and lint processing standards in the specific implementation process, so as to be able to smooth storage in the new year, feel frustrated.

Due to the combined effects of the northern subtropical high and the cold air, heavy rain has occurred in Hengshui, Hebei Province, including Hebei, Jizhou, Zaoqiang, Jingxian County, Gucheng and other major cotton producing areas since 9. The rainfall lasted for a long time, and the rainfall was large. The accumulated rainfall reached 70-100 millimeters. The local precipitation even reached 150 millimeters. Most of the cotton fields had accumulated water and a small number of buds were falling off. On the morning of 12, there was still light rain in the local sky. According to the local meteorological department predicted that the rainfall process will end on the 15 day, the next 3-4 days, the local weather is still mainly to moderate rain.

Continuous rainfall will cause four adverse effects on cotton production in the following areas: first, cotton field water accumulation, soil moisture saturation, soil easy to harden and loss of fertility; two, rain and shine, large air humidity, easy to cause branches and leaves to grow wilfully, and poor ventilation. The early peach formed at the bottom of the river is black and mildew. Three, rain will scour the cotton farmers before spraying. After rain, it may cause the occurrence of insect pests such as cotton bollworms, bug bugs, and possibly induce cotton yellow and wilt. Four, cotton pollination will be delayed and the time of Bolling will be delayed. These unfavorable factors will adversely affect cotton growth and cotton yield and quality. If the weather clears quickly after rain, cotton farmers can take timely measures such as threshing, pruning, topdressing and spraying.

It is also understood that since the beginning of July, Hebei Province fibre The Inspection Bureau has started the intensive training work for the new national standard of cotton enterprises in the province, requiring that every 400 type cotton processing enterprise must arrange 3 participants. The training involves color level, mill quality, length, micron value, moisture regain, impurity rate, fracture strength, length uniformity, hazardous debris, sampling, inspection, certificate, packaging and marking. The training effect is obvious. However, when communicating with the staff who participated in the training, it was found that their understanding of the new national standard remained at the theoretical level. What problems should be paid attention to in the actual operation process of seed cotton purchase, processing and group preparation, and what measures should be taken to ensure that the lint of the new year's acquisition and processing can be successfully transferred to the store.

According to the requirements of the new national standard, the local cotton should be about 40-50% or so in the normal year, but if it rains all the way in the last 2 years, the cotton quality can only enter the sequence of dirty cotton or even yellow cotton. What makes cotton enterprises headache is that the local cotton growers have the habit of selling "whole cotton" all the year round. The way of bottom flower, flower spray, flower bud, stiff cotton, rain and rust cotton and soft white cotton are often mixed and sold. It can be done in the past, but it completely stopped in the new national standard in 2013/14. Otherwise, under the increasingly severe market situation of the cotton spot business, the cotton enterprises will pay much more if they buy more cotton seeds in the past.

Recently, the news came out that Hebei star detection equipment Technology Co., Ltd. has successfully developed the HX-410 handheld cotton colorimeter, which has the characteristics of low cost, small size and convenience, no need to open packets, accurate and stable data, automatic summarization and wireless transmission. According to existing cotton enterprises, they will contact the manufacturer as soon as possible, and plan to use the cotton samples retained by the company in the current year and combine the practice and technology of the enterprises to purchase seed cotton and lint, so as to realize the new national standard transition from rational knowledge to perceptual knowledge as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the next year's storage.
