Solution

The correct option is A 1 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: Cotton is a tropical crop grown in the kharif season in semi-arid areas of the country.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Cotton cultivation is closely related to deep black soils (regur) of the Deccan and the Malwa Plateaus and those of Gujarat. It also grows well in alluvial soils of the Satluj-Ganga Plain and red and laterite soils of the peninsular regions. Cotton quickly exhausts the fertility of soil.

Statement 3 is incorrect: Cotton requires 6-8 months (Around 210 days) for its harvest from the time of sowing.
