Xinchang Town in Shishou City is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, bordering Jiangling County. It is the largest town for early melons in Hubei Province and the birthplace of early chili pepper seedling cultivation in Hunan and Hubei. It was once the township in Hubei Province with the largest area, the highest benefits, and the best influence for intercropping cotton with melons and peppers. On this land where melons delight guests and peppers reflect the colors of spring, the year-round cotton planting area is about 24,000 mu. In recent years, under the promotion and guidance of agricultural technical service departments, some cotton farmers have been willing to accept new technologies and have actively and boldly explored new methods of cotton seedling cultivation.

Xinchang Town in Shishou City is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, bordering Jiangling County. It is the largest town for early melons in Hubei Province and the birthplace of early chili pepper seedling cultivation in Hunan and Hubei. It was once the township in Hubei Province with the largest area, the highest benefits, and the best influence for intercropping cotton with melons and peppers. On this land where melons delight guests and peppers reflect the colors of spring, the year-round cotton planting area is about 24,000 mu.

In recent years, under the promotion and guidance of agricultural technical service departments, some cotton farmers have been willing to accept new technologies and have actively and boldly explored new methods of cotton seedling cultivation. On the basis of substrate seedling cultivation and water-floating seedling cultivation in the previous two years, this year they have gradually expanded the use of seed dressing with chemicals and row-marked dibbling developed by Jingzhou Tianye Seed Industry Co., Ltd., that is, "soil seedling cultivation, soilless transplanting." The field cultivation area in the whole town is 1,000 mu, a considerable increase over last year's 100 mu. A total of 318 farming households have applied this technology. Scientific and technological demonstration households Jiang Tongde and Dai Shengchang, both from Group 3 of Gaojiacao Village, each carried out bare-root seedling transplanting on 50 mu. After transplanting, the survival rate was 98.8%, and the growth was good. In the cotton growth surveys on July 15, August 15, and September 15, the growth condition was better than the town-wide average level of soil-bearing transplanting with nutrient-pot seedling cultivation. It saves costs and increases efficiency. This technology will be promoted on a large scale throughout the town next year.
