describe the geological conditions required for the cultivation of cotton. also write regions where cotton is produced.
Answers
Answer:
The ideal conditions for the production of cotton are: Climate: Cotton grows well in warm and moist climate where summer is long and where there is salinity in the soil. Temperature: Cotton grown well in a temperature of 24°C. But cotton bursts out, high temperature is injurious.
Cotton Cotton grows in warm climates and most of the world's cotton is grown in the U.S., Uzbekistan, the People's Republic of China and India. Other leading cotton-growing countries are Brazil, Pakistan and Turkey.
Answer:
Temperature :
Cotton is a plant that needs a long frost-free period, a lot of heat and plenty of sunshine. It prefers warm and humid climate. Cotton seeds will have a small germination rate, if the soil temperature is below 60°F (15°C). During active growth, the ideal air temperature is 70 to 100°F (21-37°C).
Soil
. Black soils are most suitable for the cotton crop hence it is also known as black cotton soil. Besides cotton, the soil is suitable for the cultivation of crops like wheat, groundnut, chillies, tobacco and jowar.
