**30th Regiment of the Corps explores a new path for cotton production by promoting hybrid cotton seed production technology
(Agricultural Wealth Network) Since July, workers of the 5th Company of the 30th Regiment, 2nd Agricultural Division of the **Production and Construction Corps, have arrived punctually at 12:00 in the morning and 19:00 in the afternoon every day at the company's 3110+ agricultural hybrid seed production cotton field to emasculate and pollinate the cotton, carrying out cotton hybrid seed production work.
In recent years, the 30th Regiment has taken increasing cotton yield as a breakthrough point for raising workers' incomes. In accordance with the requirements of "high quality, high yield, high efficiency," it has vigorously implemented the ten major agricultural main technologies and six precision technologies, comprehensively popularized superior varieties, and improved cotton yield and quality. For many years, it relied on cotton seed supplied by local seed companies for cotton production, and cultivation and planting suffered from the drawbacks of poor adaptability, easy degeneration, and high seed prices. To change this situation, starting in 2007 the 30th Regiment introduced cotton hybrid seed production technology, and in cultivation and planting in 2008 it showed the characteristics of high yield, good quality, and strong adaptability, achieving relatively good results. For this reason, in 2009 the 30th Regiment increased the intensity of promoting cotton hybrid seed production, promoting planting on more than 100 mu in total across 10 cotton-planting units of the entire regiment. The specific seed production workload was completed jointly by the cadres and workers of each company using their spare time. In order to increase everyone's sense of responsibility and enthusiasm for seed production, the 30th Regiment also specially formulated management measures for hybrid cotton seed production and established reward and penalty measures. Qualified seed-production cotton after acceptance inspection was recovered at a price of 30 yuan per kg, which not only increased workers' incomes, but also enabled everyone to learn hybrid cotton seed production technology, laying a foundation for large-scale seed production in the future.
According to Guo Yong, commander of the 10th Company of the 30th Regiment: last year the company planted 5 mu of hybrid seed-production cotton fields, with an output value of more than 5,000 yuan per mu. After deducting labor and production material costs, net income was around 2,000 yuan, 2-3 times higher than conventional planting.
