湖北棉区地处亚热带(北纬29°05′～33°20′),光照充足,热量丰富,雨量充沛,且雨热同步,土地肥沃,具有得天独厚的植棉条件。传统的麦林直播棉花、粮棉两熟矛盾突出,棉花难于全苗早发,后期晚发迟熟,产量低、品质差。80年代以来,全省广大农业科技工作者和农技人员,在总结前人工作的基础上,广泛深入地开展了移栽棉的试验研究和示范推广,从实践中总结出:采用塑膜覆盖, Hubei cotton is located in the subtropical (latitude 29 ° 05 ’~ 33 ° 20’), adequate light, abundant heat, abundant rainfall, and rain and heat synchronization, fertile land, with unique cotton conditions. The traditional Mai Lin broadcast cotton, grain and cotton two contradictions prominent, early spring full cotton seedling is difficult, late late late maturing, low yield, poor quality. Since the 1980s, the vast majority of agricultural scientists and technicians in the province have carried out extensive and in-depth experimental studies and demonstration of cotton transplanting on the basis of summarizing their predecessors’ work. From practice, it has been concluded that plastic film covering ,
