Cotton Cultivation
Cotton Planting Time
Cleaning up cotton waste from the previous year is extremely important for achieving high yields in newly planted cotton. In a deeply cleaned field, cotton grows faster and healthier in the new production. Quality seed is also extremely important for achieving high quality in cotton production. Quality seed means cotton that is resistant to diseases, grows quickly and without problems. Different seed types are determined by different soil types and the farmer's demand. Cotton farming and cultivation are easier today with harvesting machines.
How to Produce Quality Cotton?
Cotton planting starts in March in spring and continues until June. This is because cotton likes warm soil, and the soil starts to warm up during these months. As the soil heats up faster during the cotton's growth phase, the seeds grow quickly and become ready for harvest. Cotton is a plant sensitive to cold and does not grow in regions with harsh cold climates. If planting starts late despite the warming weather, the quality of the cotton also decreases. For quality cotton production, seed quality is as crucial as soil conditions and planting time. A quality seed ensures that cotton is more resistant to diseases and external factors.
