How did domestically produced cotton pickers break the technology monopoly?
Our newspaper, Chongqing, August 18 (Reporter Jiang Yunlong) Chongqing Machinery and Electronics Group independently developed a cotton picker, breaking the foreign technology monopoly and surpassing similar foreign products in many aspects, including picking method, service method, and picking quality. At the "High-end Intelligent Agricultural Machinery Technology Innovation Forum" recently held in Chongqing, this achievement drew the attention and discussion of attending experts.
It is reported that in ** areas where cotton is planted on a large scale, mechanization is mainly reflected in the planting stage, while picking still relies mainly on manpower. Cotton picking machines are mostly monopolized by foreign products, and problems such as the seed cotton they pick containing many three-strand fibers and rope-like fibers, and the machines being prone to spontaneous combustion, have long severely troubled cotton farmers and cotton processing enterprises. The research, development, and application of the Chongqing Machinery and Electronics cotton picker can not only break the monopoly, but also achieve innovation and improvement in many aspects, including picking method, service method, and picking quality.
