The invention relates to a method for constructing a high-yielding cotton
population structure of a jujube and cotton
intercropping drip irrigation cotton field in Xinjiang. The method includes steps of creating a suitable
population environment in the
drip irrigation high-yielding cotton field; preparing seeds;
sowing the seeds; irrigating; applying fertilizers; chemically regulating the cotton field; controlling diseases, insects and weeds; performing
topping; and harvesting and the like. The method has the advantages that the high-yielding cotton
population structure of the jujube and cotton
intercropping drip irrigation cotton field in Xinjiang can be constructed; and as shown by investigation for a plurality of fields, specific indexes of the high-yielding
population structure include that the maturity of selected cotton varieties is 5-8 days earlier than the maturity of local mono-
cropping main cotton varieties, the period between a
sowing stage and a boll opening stage is 148-156 days, cotton reaches the boll opening stage on 12-20 September under a jujube and cotton
intercropping condition, the cotton assuredly reaches the boll opening stage on 12-20 September under the jujube and cotton intercropping condition, the maximum
leaf area index is 3.9-4.3, the
plant height is 69-77cm, the
plant width is 51-58cm, the light interception rate of the cotton at a peak
polling stage is higher than 80%, the fruit
branch number is 8.6-9.2, the number of unit-
plant bolls is 3.9-4.3 per plant, the actual number of harvesting plants is 15380-17450 per mu (net area), and the boll yield is 61581-71337 per mu.
