Farmers in the Lebap velayat plan to reap a rich harvest from 130 thousand hectares of land sown with cotton.
Currently, cotton is being actively fertilized with mineral fertilizers, inter-row cultivation, watering of shoots and pruning of plant tops are being carried out, reports "Turkmenistan: Golden Age".
The efficient use of high-performance machinery, modern agricultural implements and trailers significantly accelerates these works. A special role in ensuring the smooth operation of the machinery is played by the etrap production enterprises "Obahyzmat" of the production association "Lebapobahyzmat", which are responsible for the adjustment and repair of agricultural machinery.
Work on the sixth inter-row cultivation continues. To date, more than 40 thousand hectares of land have been processed.
Irrigation work during the 3rd and 4th stages of cotton growth is also carried out at a high level, which creates conditions for ensuring high crop yields.
An important step in increasing the yield is the minting of cotton, which is being carried out successfully in the region. To date, the volume of work carried out in this direction in the Lebap velayat has exceeded 90 thousand hectares, the source notes.
