BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 12
By Jeila Aliyeva - Trend:
Turkmenistan is considering the possibility of using the technology of the furrow method of watering cotton on inclined saline soil, Trend reports with reference to Turkmenistan’s Turkmenportal information portal.
This technology allows you to use water economically.
Also, one of the advantages of this technology is that during row-to-row processing, pests and weeds of cotton are killed.
The corresponding technology was proposed by scientists of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, after conducting a number of relevant studies.
As reported, the country plans to harvest 1.2 million tons of cotton in 2021, and 620,000 hectares of land will be allocated for crops.
Turkmenistan also buys cotton fibers. In 2021, the country plans to purchase 145,557 tons of cotton fiber, 8,500 tons of fine fiber, 200 tons of short-fiber cotton, and 200 tons of cotton wool.
Also, scientific work is underway to develop new varieties of cotton in Turkmenistan. So, earlier in the country, a new Ashgabat-140 variety of cotton was bred.
