Soybean yield-boosting secrets: master these methods for higher yields
To increase soybean yields, besides choosing excellent varieties, improving the nitrogen-fixing capacity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and controlling pests and diseases well, the following four measures can also be taken: 1. Pinching the seedlings. The specific method is: after the two cotyledons of the soybean have formed, remove all the unexpanded true leaves at the top. In this way, "double main branches" can emerge. After the two true leaves have formed, remove all the unexpanded compound leaves at the top, so that nutrients are concentrated on the new main branches, accelerating the individual cell division of the plant, promoting thick and strong soybean stems, luxuriant branches and leaves, and pods

New soybean topping technique for higher yields: operate this way to get a bigger harvest
Soybean terminal buds have strong growth vigor and consume a lot of nutrients. Removing the terminal buds of soybean transfers nutrients to the pods, which helps increase yield. This is especially true for soybean with higher soil fertility and vigorous growth; timely removal of the terminal buds makes the yield-increasing effect even more pronounced. The method for removing soybean terminal buds is: at the early flowering stage, the peak of soybean growth, pinch off the 2-3 cm tender tip at the top of the main stem, so that apical growth is inhibited and nutrients are concentrated for reproductive growth, promoting more flowering and more pod setting, and helping to make the plants shorter and sturdier and enhance stress resistance. Soybean topping should follow the “three

Raising cotton seedlings in foam tray substrate with hydroponics gives higher returns
The widely promoted F1 hybrid cotton variety Ezamian No. 10 was selected to compare the cultivation effects of plastic soft-tray substrate seedling raising, foam tray substrate hydroponic seedling raising, and fertile-soil nutrient bowl seedling raising. The results showed that on alluvial fluvo-aquic soil in the Wuhan area, with cotton planted in continuous cropping with rapeseed, the net income per unit area was highest with foam tray substrate hydroponic seedling raising, followed by plastic soft-tray substrate seedling raising. Therefore, matching cotton varieties with simplified, light-labor cultivation techniques selected according to local conditions and promoting them together can improve the profitability of cotton growing.

Cotton Harvesting Techniques: Careful Picking Brings Higher Returns
I. Cotton should be harvested at the right time. Cotton harvesting is the last step in cotton production and the key to ensuring a high-yield, high-efficiency harvest. Because cotton is an indeterminate inflorescence crop, it successively forms buds, flowers, bolls and maturity, and requires multiple harvests. Therefore, after the cotton boll matures, the third stage of fiber development still has to be completed during the cracking process, namely the fiber dehydration and convolution period, about 7 days or so. The moisture content of the cotton boll shell drops from 80% to 30%, and the moisture content of the cotton pulp drops from 57% to 18%. The fiber further dehydrates and matures, forming convolutions, and at the same time, due to cellulose deposition, fiber strength continues to increase.
