新疆日照充足,积温高,昼夜温差大,热量丰富,雨量稀少,有灌溉条件,十分利于植棉。多年来,新疆农垦系统的广大科技人员和职工,利用这一自然优势,探索棉花高产规律,取得了一定成效,涌现了一大批高产的连队和条田。如1973年阿克苏地区三团九连12.5亩陆地棉,平均单产皮棉341斤;1977、1978年石河子一四八团十三队陆地棉小面积高产试验田,亩产分别达351斤和373斤;1979年阿克苏农垦局农科所长绒棉高产试验田,亩产281斤;奎屯农垦局一二三团 Xinjiang is full of sunshine, high accumulated temperature, large temperature difference between day and night, rich in calories, scarce rainfall, irrigation conditions, is very conducive to cotton. Over the years, the vast majority of scientific and technical personnel and workers in the Xinjiang Land Reclamation System have made use of this natural advantage to explore the law of high-yield cotton and have achieved some success. A large number of high-yielding companies and fields have emerged. Such as the 1973 Aksu region nine with 12.5 acres of land cotton, average lint 341 pounds; 1977, 1978 Shihezi one thousand forty-eight group of thirteen teams of small area of ​​cotton high yield test field, yield of 351 kg and 373 kg respectively; Year Akesu Bureau of Reclamation Bureau of Agriculture, cotton yield test field, yield 281 pounds; Kuitun Reclamation Bureau 123 groups
