Clever Fertilization in the Late Stage of Cotton: Disease Prevention and Yield Increase at the Same Time
In the late growth stage of cotton, the root system's ability to absorb nutrients declines noticeably, but if fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and boron are sprayed on the cotton leaves, they can prevent premature senescence, promote early maturity, prevent disease, prevent boll shedding and help set large bolls, with a significant yield-increasing effect. 1. Apply nitrogen fertilizer to prevent premature senescence: each time use 75-100 kg of 1% urea solution per mu, spray once every 5-7 days, for 2-3 consecutive sprays, which can enhance leaf photosynthesis and prevent premature senescence and increase yield. 2. Apply phosphorus fertilizer to promote early maturity: in the late stage of cotton, spraying phosphorus fertilizer on the leaves,

New Cotton Cultivation Technique: Saving Labor and Increasing Yield at the Same Time
This technique is based on the cotton cultivation method in which cotton is not pruned or disbudded, but only the terminal bud and side buds are removed, also called the two-time topping cultivation method. On that basis, a more labor-saving one-time topping cultivation method has been introduced. It saves at least 70% of labor, while increasing yield by more than 8%, and cotton quality is basically on par with the traditional method. Its key techniques are as follows: 1. Select good varieties and keep the sowing date moderate. It is advisable to choose large-plant types with strong mid-season growth, with seed cotton yield per mu of no less than 350 kg and high-yielding varieties exceeding 500 kg. Usually, the Hua Kang III series, Qiufeng Large Boll series, and disease-resistant

Key cultivation techniques for growing peach, apricot and plum that flower and bear fruit on the same tree
To meet people's need for enjoying both flowers and fruit, we used peach trees as rootstock and grafted early-, mid- and late-maturing plums, apricots and peaches onto the same tree. After 4a (years) of trials, complete success was achieved: in the year of grafting a certain crown formed and flowering occurred, in the 2nd year each tree bore 70-80 fruits, the flowering period lasted about 45d (days), the full-bloom period reached about 25d (days), and the fruit-bearing period lasted as long as 6 months. It allows enjoyment of both flowers and fruit, and the fruit can be eaten as well, and it is deeply loved by the general public. The key techniques are summarized below.

Mixed farming of turtles and earthworms in the same pond yields high economic returns
Under micro-flowing water conditions, amphibious turtles and aquatic earthworms are co-cultured in one pond, with the aquatic earthworms serving as the main feed or supplementary feed for the turtles. This can make the turtles strong and healthy, grow faster, shorten the breeding cycle, reduce feeding costs, and more than double economic returns. Moreover, throughout the entire rearing process, contamination of the product by hormone drugs is avoided, meeting the basic requirements for pollution-free food and making it more popular with consumers. The main technical points are introduced as follows: 1. Pond construction: choose a site with abundant water sources and good water quality

Sweet potatoes turn into feed, saving costs and increasing efficiency at the same time
1. Tuberous roots: each unit of fresh sweet potato is equivalent to 0.3 corn units. It is an excellent succulent feed and also a very good energy feed. All kinds of livestock like to eat it, and it is most suitable for feeding meat pigs. The method is to boil it, mix 15-20 kg of cooked sweet potato with 1 kg of concentrated feed (crude protein >= 34%), stir evenly and feed to meat pigs. The effect is the same as a complete compound feed, but the feed cost is much lower than compound feed. Feeding sweet potato alone or feeding it raw has a poor effect. Tuberous roots that are rotten or have black spot disease should be buried deep in a pit, and it is strictly forbidden for humans and livestock to eat them
