Question

Wrote five properties of cotton

Answer 1

Cotton is both a food and fibre crop.The cotton plant produces fruit, known as bolls.When mature the crop is picked and ginned - which separates the cotton fibre (or lint) from the seed.Cotton lint makes up about 42 percent of the picked cotton by weight, and contributes about 85 percent of the total income from a cotton crop. The other 15 percent of income is from cotton seed.Almost all parts of the cotton plant are used in some way including the lint, cottonseed, linters, stalks and seed hulls.
