In the southern districts, measures have been taken to expand the areas and secure the seed. In the units and farms of the south, efforts have increased to prepare the soil, secure irrigation and improve agrotechnics, so that cotton can be sown on time and with quality. Specialists stress that this year there are better conditions than a year ago and that work should focus on respecting deadlines, fertilization and the first care services after germination. In some areas the planned surfaces have been expanded and a good part of the seed has been secured. However, greater attention is required for mechanization and work discipline, in order to avoid losses and ensure a satisfactory yield.
