In cotton, seeds are removed from kapas the fruiting body which has both seed and lint. In the separated seed, seed coat will have hairy outgrowth and this is the genetic characteristic feature of the seed. These seeds are known as fuzzy seed as the hair like growth is known as fuzz. Normally these fuzzy cotton seeds are used for sowing purpose and these seeds creates problems on sowing as Maintenance plant population in the field mainly due to difficulty in recognition of contaminates, broken seeds, diseased seeds, insect infected seeds, immature seeds etc. Non free flowing nature of the fuzzy seed make the sowing difficult More seed rate Lesser storability    Hence separation of seed from the lint to increase the free flowing nature of the seed proper removal of the fuzz, the external hair from the seed coat...

Cotton is an important crop in many parts of the world, as it is one of the main crops used to make clothing. Growing it in your own garden can be fun, and you can even spin it into yarn. Cotton prefers the heat, so you'll only be able to grow it in warmer areas that have a long summer. Part 1  of 3: Planning to Plant 1 Contact your local agricultural department to see if you're allowed to plant cotton.  In many areas, growing cotton is restricted to commercial growing. That's because the boll weevil (a pest) is a major threat to commercial growing. Over time, it has mostly been eradicated, but non-commercial crops (without the proper growing techniques) may give it a chance to come back. Some areas will give you a waiver to grow it on your land, but you should contact them to find out the laws where you live. [1] For instance, Tennessee is one state the restricts growing cotton. 2 Choose high-quality seed with a cool-warm rigor index of 155 or higher.  This indicato...

Agriculture top Cotton We see that the cotton plant micronutrients so many deficiency at flower stage fruits Stage Boron (B) is classified as an immobile element in plants; once B has been taken up by the plant it cannot be reallocated to other portions of the plant when Boron availability in the substrate is limited. As with other immobile elements, symptoms first appear on new leaves. Boron is required to build plant cell walls, therefore, when not enough B is available the areas of the plant with rapidly growing new cells (i.e. the growing point and new leaves are affected first). The growing point often aborts (effectively “pinching” the plant) this leads to proliferation of branches. The branches and new growth are distorted, thick, and brittle; also the upper foliage can exhibit a mottled chlorosis (i.e. scattered yellowing of leaves). When the roots are examined they are often short and stubby. Unlike most nutrient deficiencies that typically exhibit symptoms uniformly...
