Preparations for spring sowing of cotton are underway in Turkmenistan

It is planned to plant cotton on 580 thousand hectares of agricultural land in Turkmenistan in 2023. Currently, preparations for the sowing season are actively underway. The plan is to get 1 million 250 thousand tons of raw cotton. This is reported in the Internet publication "Turkmenistan: Golden Age".

The complex of measures to prepare for the spring sowing season includes soil washing, land leveling, plowing, preparation of special equipment for agriculture, as well as preparation of seed material.

According to candidate of technical sciences Ashir Saparmyradov, the traditional method of seed pre-planting preparation leads to damage of planting material, and the chemical method contradicts the norms of environmental safety.

According to the scientist, the biological method is the most effective. Ashir Saparmuradov believes that this method of seed preparation is a new word in cotton growing, allowing to obtain higher yields without disturbing the ecological situation.
