Question

What are the ideal environmental conditions and soil type for the cultivation of cotton?​

Answer 1

Where irrigation is available it is cultivated on a variety of soils ranging from sandy to sandy loam and clay looms. Cotton being a deep-rooted crop, soil depth of less than 60 cm is considered unfavourable. Cotton grows best on neutral to slightly alkaline soils and a pH of 7.0 to 8.0 is considered optimum.

Answer 2

• Under rainfed conditions, it is generally grown on soils with high water holding capacity provide better internal drainage and greater productivity. Where irrigation is available it is cultivated on a variety of soils ranging from sandy to sandy loam and clay looms. Cotton being a deep-rooted crop, soil depth of less than 60 cm is considered unfavourable. Cotton grows best on neutral to slightly alkaline soils and a pH of 7.0 to 8.0 is considered optimum. The minimum pH for successful cotton cultivation is 5.3. Cotton is sensitive to salinity only during germination and early crop establishment.
