Cotton Farming

Cotton farming involves cultivating the cotton plant, primarily for its fluffy seed fibers, which are harvested and processed into cotton fabric. Farmers prepare the land, plant seeds, and manage crops through watering, fertilizing, and pest control. Cotton requires warm weather and well-drained soil to thrive. Once ready, the crops are harvested, typically using machinery, and then the fibers are separated from seeds and processed. Cotton is a key agricultural product used in textiles, clothing, and various consumer goods, playing a significant role in the economy of many countries. Sustainable practices are increasingly important to reduce environmental impacts.
