Cotton fibres are natural plant fibres that are obtained from the fruit of the cotton plant known as cotton bolls.

The soil, water requirements, and climate conditions that are required for the cultivation of the cotton plant:

  • Cotton grows best in a warm climate with lots of sunlight and moderate rainfall.
  • Black soils are ideal for growing cotton found in peninsular India.
  • It is also known as black cotton soil.
  • Since black soil contains a high percentage of clay, it has a great water holding capacity, making it ideal for cotton cultivation.
  • Alluvial soil is also good for cotton growth found in northern India.
