What soil is suitable for cotton planting?

Cotton Introduction

Cotton has strong adaptability and is not very demanding on soil. Generally, sandy or clay loam with deep soil, high fertility and good drainage is the most ideal. It is not suitable for growth in poorly drained, infertile sandy soil, highly acidic soil, heavy saline-alkali soil, etc.

What soil is used to grow cotton?

Cotton can be grown in loam, which has moderate sand viscosity, is breathable and water-permeable, and has good water and fertilizer retention properties. It is an ideal soil for most garden plants.

Sandy soil can also be used for cotton cultivation. This type of soil has coarse particles, good water permeability, looseness and ventilation, but it has low nutrient content, organic matter is easily decomposed, and has poor water and fertilizer retention capacity.

Preparation of cotton nutrient soil

The nutrient soil for cotton can be made of mature and fertile soil as the subsoil, and at the same time, it can be mixed with 30% of decomposed soil and fertilizer. Such soil is not only nutritious but also very conducive to the growth of the plant.
