A cultivation method for drip irrigation of cotton fields in saline-alkali soil is provided, belonging to the field of agricultural planting technologies. It mainly includes performing land preparation; setting a planting mode; laying tubes; performing a high frequency drip irrigation; fertilizing with water; performing intertillage; performing chemical control; and performing green prevention and control.

The present invention provides a method for promoting plant growth, which comprises treating a plant with a compound represented by the following Formula (1): ##STR00001## provided that a method for promoting plant growth which comprises treating plants with a compound corresponding to any one of the following (1) to (8) is excluded: (1) Methyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate, (2) Methyl 5-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate, (3) Methyl 6-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate, (4) Methyl 7-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate, (5) Ethyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate, (6) Ethyl 5-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate, (7) Ethyl 6-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate, and (8) Ethyl 7-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate.

Disclosed are methods of improving germination rates of plants/crops, as well as preventing or arresting water evaporation loss from targeted soil areas, which allows for improved water usage efficiency by crops, plants, grasses, vegetation, etc.

Disclosed are an array cutting knife-type cotton topping machine and a control method thereof. The cotton topping machine includes cameras, controllers, a tacho-generator and a plurality of groups of topping assemblies arranged in a left-right direction; the cameras and the tacho-generator are connected to the controllers; and a plurality of topping devices staggered left and right are arranged for each planting row. In the present disclosure, by densely arranging low-cost topping devices and determining which topping devices are switched to an operating state for topping according to visually determined top bud positions, the potential problems in the prior art of the damage to other parts of the plant or the unnecessary intertwining of branches and leaves are avoided.

A method for preserving and strengthening seedlings in a continuous cropped cotton field with soil moisture deficiency in a desert oasis includes the steps of seedbed establishment, sowing and drip irrigation tape laying, soil moisture supply through drip irrigation after sowing, and field management after emergence. Within 0-2 days of a suitable sowing period for cotton, land plowing, harrowing and smoothing operations are completed, wherein a combined land preparer adopts a diverting soil leveling frame design that does not comprise any harrow groups. The drip irrigation tape is either a drip irrigation tape with a labyrinth on one side or a drip irrigation tape inlaid with emitters inside. After sowing, the first drip irrigation for soil moisture supply is generally carried out within 24 hours, and the second drip irrigation is followed after 3 to 5 days. After the cotton emerges, the planting rows are then covered with soil.
