3. Some Cotton Areas in Xinjiang into Bolling Stage

Most of the northern cotton areas had good soil moisture, high temperature and sufficient light, which were conducive to the growth and development of cotton. Low temperature and low temperature and heavy rainfall in southern Huanghuai, Jianghuai, Jianghan, northern Jiangnan, and eastern southwestern regions affected cotton buds and flowers. At present, most of the cotton in Xinjiang, the Yellow River Basin, and the Yangtze River Basin is into the blooming period; parts of northwestern Henan are in the budding period, and the local areas in the eastern part of Xinjiang have begun to boil.
