“When the original water wearing rain boots, iron latte waiting for the water, a little afraid to let go, often need overnight waiting.With drip irrigation facilities, water and then no trouble, and only need to go to the ground to open the valve on the line.” Recently, Hu Fengmei, a worker at the Bezidak Farm in Tacheng, Xinjiang, said after the implementation of drip irrigation, the output of wheat increased from more than 300 kilograms to more than 400 kilograms. By the end of 2016, the area of water saving irrigation in Xinjiang has exceeded 50 million mu (including 15 million mu of corps), accounting for more than 60% of the national total. Globally, the most adaptable area has the largest popularization and application area The lowest, the most obvious overall efficiency.
According to Chen Jianjun, director of the Land Consolidation Center of Tacheng City Land Resources Bureau, from 2014 to 2016, 1.38 million mu of land in Tacheng City achieved full drip irrigation coverage through the implementation of land consolidation project. Watering and fertilization were more precise and scientific. The yield of wheat increased by 80-120 Kilo, corn acre increase 220 ~ 340 kilograms, the economic benefit grows 10% ~ 15% compared to the same period.
At present, drip irrigation technology as a platform, Xinjiang has formed a water-saving equipment production, supporting agricultural machinery and equipment, drip irrigation special fertilizer and automation information technology and other water-saving equipment industry clusters, water-saving agriculture in Xinjiang increased substantially.
Large-scale popularization and application of efficient water-saving irrigation technology has directly led to changes in agricultural production methods and management methods. At present, Shihezi City, micro-irrigation area of radiation promotion 356 mu, accounting for more than 90% of irrigated area, and to promote Corps initially built a national water-saving demonstration base. In the northern Qitai County, the State Government has made great efforts to develop highly efficient water-saving irrigated agriculture through the use of national agricultural comprehensive development projects and land management projects, and the area of drip irrigation has reached 1.2 million mu. In southern Xinjiang and Bachu County, 500,000 mu of field efficient water-saving drip irrigation project was implemented, and the annual average mu yield was 390 kilograms. The Aksu Prefecture completed 294,400 mu of agricultural water-efficient construction in 2016 and plans to add 45.3 this year Mu, efficient building area of water-saving will reach 464.154 million mu.
Data show that during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period, Xinjiang will aim at consolidating the foundation of farmland water conservancy, implementing 983 million mu of rehabilitation and water-saving reconstruction in large and medium-sized irrigation districts with 2640 kilometers of channels and raising the effective utilization coefficient of agricultural irrigation water to 0.57. By 2020, the total area of agricultural water-efficient irrigation will reach 43 million mu.
