Why is drip irrigation technology for cotton planting in China very popular in Central Asian countries?

China cotton planting and drip irrigation technology is very popular in Central Asian countries because China cotton planting and drip irrigation technology has important application value in Central Asia where water resources are scarce.

Drip irrigation technology used in cotton planting in China is a modern irrigation technology, which is characterized by tiny water droplets delivered through pipelines directly dripping to cotton roots, effectively prolonging the utilization time of irrigation water and avoiding farmland being wasted and submerged. Drip irrigation technology for cotton planting in China has greatly reduced the waste of water resources and the risk of soil erosion. Drip irrigation technology can improve the efficiency and quality of cotton production and reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, which has been widely used and popularized in Central Asian countries. Drip irrigation technology has also improved the technical quality and scientific level of farmers in Central Asian countries, bringing good prospects and opportunities for agricultural development.

The principle of drip irrigation technology is: pump water from the water source and then lead it to each ridge field through the pipeline. There will be small holes in the pipeline, and water will drip into the crops under the action of gravity. Farmers can also dissolve fertilizers in water and "feed" them to crops in the same way. Using drip irrigation to quench thirst, the investment of pumps and water pipes will be relatively large and the cost will be higher. Only some vegetable bases or crops with high economic value are willing to give up this "bloodline". Moreover, the key to using drip irrigation technology is to have water sources such as ponds, rivers and wells nearby, otherwise it will be useless.
