Key Considerations for Cotton Crops
Cotton has a long frost-free period requirement and a high requirement for heat units, so it does well in climates that are temperate to sub-tropical. Though cotton doesn’t need a lot of water, it does require water at very specific stages. It grows well in a broad range of soils, as it is able to efficiently access water in fine-textured soils with high water holding capacity.
Cotton is very sensitive to pest pressures, especially early in the growing season and during fruiting.
