Development Proposals and Supporting Equipment Development of Cotton Planting Mechanization in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region locate in the northern boundary of yellow river basin，an advantageous cotton-producing areas.And its cotton industry plays an important role in our country.In the past few years，cotton acreage here has declined，mainly due to the plantation，management and collection still relying on manual work，with a great labor intensity，low efficiency and small output.Based on sub-region layout and natural conditions of major cotton producing region，existing planting patterns and agronomic characteristics such as unequal row pitch，same row pitch，inter-plant of cotton and wheat were summarized.Current situation of mechanization skills and equipment types were researched.The latest needs and trends of cotton mechanization skills in the region were analyzed.Some suggestions such as improvement of cotton cultivation model，research on technology of supporting machinery，research and development of new machines were put forward.Based on specific technology system of Hebei cotton industry mission requirements，research and development，testing and demonstration work of cotton planting multifunction combined operating machine which was suitable for the local area were carried out.A variety of new type of sowing machine arrived technical appraisal.They promoted development of cotton planting mechanization technology in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
