新疆国营农场植棉面积约占农作物总面积10％。由于无霜期偏短、秋季气温低,各农场栽植的棉花,常常贪青晚熟,霜后花及剥桃花增多,产量和品质均下降,经济收益也低。为了达到增产增收的目的,近几年各植棉农场采用乙烯利对长绒棉和陆地棉进行催熟试验,1980年施药面积共达2万亩。从小面积试验与大田示范看,乙烯利对棉花的催熟效果是十分显著的。 Xinjiang state-owned farms cover about 10% of the total crop area. Due to the short frost-free period and the low temperature in autumn, the cotton planted on farms is often greedy and late-maturing. The bloom and peach after frost bloom and peel increase. Both the yield and the quality are reduced and the economic benefits are also low. In order to achieve the purpose of increasing production and increasing income, in recent years, all cotton planting farms used ethephon for the ripening test on cotton and cotton. In 1980, the total area of ​​pesticide application reached 20,000 mu. From a small area test and field demonstration, ethephon cotton ripening effect is very significant.
