Xinjiang Bazhou adopts high-tech water-saving irrigation technology for onion planting for the first time

In recent years, the agricultural machinery promotion department of Qixian County, Xinjiang has actively cooperated with water conservancy and agriculture departments to expand the application range of high-tech water-saving technologies. This year, the implementation of drip irrigation technology on onions, at present, the implementation of the technology of onions and unimplemented In comparison, the growth is obviously better.

The use of water-saving irrigation technology has the advantages of water saving, fertilizer saving, medicine saving, labor saving and land saving. It is more than 30% water saving than conventional flood irrigation, which can improve the utilization rate of water and fertilizer, effectively reduce labor intensity and save cost. The high yield and income have laid a solid foundation.
