Where is cotton grown? Where is cotton grown?

Cotton growth habit

Cotton is a crop that likes high temperatures. It needs very high temperatures throughout its growth period, and the most suitable growth temperature is around 25-30 degrees Celsius. It also likes sunlight very much. If it can receive 12 hours of sunlight every day, it will help it grow faster.

Where does cotton like to grow?

Cotton is native to India and Arabia. The main producing areas of cotton are China, the United States, India, Uzbekistan, Egypt and other regions. Among them, China's producing areas are mainly distributed in southern Xinjiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Henan and other regions.

In addition, cotton is an economic crop that likes heat, light and is drought-resistant. It is suitable for planting in loose and deep soil and is generally planted in warm and sunny areas.

Cotton growing environment and conditions

1. Lighting

   Cotton is a light-loving economic crop that is more suitable for growth and development under sufficient light and warm conditions. The most suitable range of light intensity for cotton leaves is generally 8000~70000lx. Therefore, within this range, the intensity of photosynthesis will gradually increase with the increase of light intensity.

2. Moisture

   Water is an essential component in the growth process of cotton. Cotton needs to absorb water from the soil for its own growth and development.

3. Soil

   The water and nutrients needed for cotton's growth and development must be obtained from the soil through the roots, and most of the temperature and air needed for growth also come from the soil. Therefore, the quality of the soil in the cotton field largely determines the cotton yield and quality.
