Cotton Cultivation 

Successful cotton cultivation requires long frost-free times, plenty of suns and moderate rainfall, usually up to 60 to 120 cm or 24 to 47 inches.

The soil usually needs to be heavy enough, although the nutrient level does not need to be exceptional.

Cotton Cultivation

In general, in the northern and southern hemispheres, these conditions are met during the season between arid tropical and tribal areas, but today cotton is grown in areas with

Crop production for a certain year usually begins shortly after the previous autumn harvest.

Cotton is naturally perennial but grows annually to help control pests.

Spring planting time in the Northern Hemisphere varies from early February to early June.

The region known as the southern part of the United States of America is the world's largest aromatic cotton-growing region.

Dry (non-irrigated) cotton has successfully grown in this region, with continuous yields being produced only with heavy reliance on irrigation water from the Ogalala aquifer.

Since cotton is somewhat salty and drought tolerant, it makes it a good-looking crop in arid and semi-arid regions.

As water resources become tougher around the world, economies that depend on it face problems and conflicts as well as potential environmental problems for example, unsuitable harvesting and irrigation

have led to desertification in areas of Uzbekistan where cotton is a major exporting country.

In the days of the Soviet Union, the Aral Sea was used for agriculture, mostly cotton, and now salinity is widespread.

Apart from the yellow off-white type of modern commercial cotton fibre, cotton can also be grown in other colours.

Naturally coloured cotton can come in several shades of red, green, and brown.
