Yield in the cultivation of cotton by sowing seeds under the pellicle

Abstract

Uzbekistan is the northernmost region in the world in terms of cotton production, and there are many weather conditions during the cultivation of cotton. In the first months after sowing, the temperature in the northern and central regions is insufficient for its smooth germination. Therefore, additional temperature is required for early sowing of seeds and cultivation of early cotton. Additional temperature accumulation can be achieved by planting seeds under a transparent polyethylene pellicle. The advantage of this technology is the rapid germination of seeds, obtaining flat seedlings and achieving an early harvest. This allows you to fully harvest the crop using cotton-picking machines and plow the land in the warm days of autumn. In areas where the cotton crop is harvested immediately, the grain yield will be at least 10-15 quintals higher than in the areas planted between rows of cotton, due to the quality preparation of the land in the fall and timely sowing of grain. At the same time, it will be convenient even in areas where autumn grain is not planted, as spring sowing will pave the way for a quality transition in the short term. There is no doubt that the effectiveness of the factors listed above is extremely high.
