< p > < strong > is weather reason < /strong > /p >

< p > from 2009 to this year, Hebei has been exposed to low temperature and rainy weather for 4 consecutive years in the middle and late growth of cotton. Serious rotten bells have been seen, grades have decreased, yields have decreased, and harvest has decreased. Especially in this year, precipitation has been ahead of schedule and precipitation intensity has also increased. Most of the cotton areas in July have experienced 5 heavy rain processes. Due to the early rainfall, Cotton Boll Rot and bud and boll abscission occurred in mid August.

The prominent characteristic is rotten bell early and heavy. Generally rotten bell reaches l/4 - 1/3, and the average peel rot bell is above 60 Jin / mu. According to the 10 autumn peach investigation in September, 14.7 bolls per plant, 0.9 lower than last year, the lowest number of bolls per plant since 2007, mainly in autumn peach peaches.

In September, the eastern and Northern cotton areas were hit by typhoon heavy rainfall, and nearly 80 thousand acres of cotton were destroyed in Cangzhou.

In 2012, when the new cotton started to scale, the cotton purchased was generally 4 grade. According to the analysis of cotton processing enterprises, it was speculated that in 2012, the level of grade 3 cotton decreased by l/3 compared with that of the whole year.

Mainly due to the impact of the international financial crisis and the European debt crisis, the demand for textiles has decreased, resulting in a relative surplus of cotton production and a continuous decline in prices.

< p > relative to grain production, cotton production management technology is more complicated. Besides sowing, most of the production links have not yet been mechanized, producing more labor, wasting labor and time, pest control, pruning, picking, picking up and so on, which will cost a lot of labor. Labor costs have risen sharply in recent years. At present, cotton pickers have risen to 0.8 to l yuan / Jin.
