Cotton Origin

1. Cotton Origin

Cotton originated in the subtropical regions, but it is now grown in many areas. The main producing areas in the world are China, the United States, India, Egypt and Uzbekistan. Among them, China has the largest single output. The main producing areas in China are the Jianghuai Plain, the North China Plain, the northwest Shandong Province, the Jianghan Plain, the southern Xinjiang cotton area, the northern Henan Plain, and the coastal plains along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Among them, the southern Xinjiang cotton area is the largest cotton growing base. The region has little rainfall throughout the year, sufficient sunshine and a relatively dry climate, which is suitable for cotton growth.

2. The growing environment of cotton

1. Light conditions: Cotton is a light-loving crop and is suitable for growing under conditions of sufficient light. When cultivating, you must choose a plot with sufficient light. The stronger and more sufficient the light, the better the cotton can grow, which is conducive to increasing yield.

2. Water conditions: Cotton has a certain degree of drought resistance, but it also needs water during its growth period. The water demand varies at different growth stages. The demand for water is greatest from sowing to germination.

3. Soil conditions: The water and nutrients needed for cotton growth and development are obtained from the soil, and there are certain requirements for the soil. It is best if the soil has sufficient fertility. Soil moisture, nutrients, temperature, air, salt content, texture, etc. all have a great impact on cotton growth.
