Every day of early spring for a farmer responsible and high-quality sowing campaign is a guarantee of high yields. In other words, ensuring the abundance of our people's table, all our sustenance depends on today's thorough measures and efforts.
In the Bukhara region, this year's cotton season begins somewhat prematurely. The reason is that this process is connected with the preparation of the earth, the variability of weather temperatures, the fact that March promises to be relatively hot. However, for the peasants, every day of spring is calculated.
This year Bukhara cotton growers intend to sow cotton on an area of 96 thousand 220 hectares and collect "hirman white gold" more than last year. In this process, 11 cotton and textile clusters of the region signed contracts with 3 thousand 38 farms in the districts for the cultivation of valuable raw materials for industry. This year, out of the total area, it is planned to sow 20,635 hectares under film, 2,141 hectares between rows, 8,750 hectares with 90 centimeters, 305 hectares between 76 centimeters and 64,389 hectares with 60 centimeter intervals.
At the demonstration and practical seminar held on March 8 of this year, organized before the sowing campaign in the field of the farm "Sharif Mirzo" in the SGG "Workak" of the Bukhara district, tasks on these issues were discussed. At the seminar, which was attended by heads of regional and district sectors, deputies of district khokims, heads of cotton and textile clusters, organizations and enterprises responsible for the industry, scientists and specialists of cotton and textile cluster enterprises, the processes related to agrotechnical requirements and standards for sowing seeds under film and in the open ground were explained through practical training, adjustment of equipment, ensuring uniform seed germination.
According to experienced dehkan specialists, if cotton is sown at a certain time, it will be possible to get early, smooth and healthy shoots. This is achieved when the seeds are placed in soft, moist soil and having a sufficient temperature. Premature or late sowing of seeds will not give the expected result. When the soil temperature reaches 13-14 degrees at a depth of 10 centimeters, sowing is considered the most favorable period for sowing seeds and sprouts a few days after sowing. The bare seeds are sown 5-6 days later than the omitted ones.
Speaking at a demonstration and practical seminar, the governor of the region Botir Zaripov, the deputy governor of the region for Rural and water Issues Amrillo Nazarov and others, speaking with their opinions on these issues, gave their recommendations and suggestions to the heads of farms, dehkans. The responsible officials were given recommendations on such important issues as the short-term and high-quality completion of sowing seeds, setting up seeders and preparing the soil for sowing.
