There is a actual enviromental issue while making cotton. This because you get cotton from a plant (cotton plant) and when you take the cotton it kills the flower and flowers give oxygen to us to live.
Cotton is a bushy plant that is grown in different parts of the United States. In CA we plant our cotton by seed in the early spring and it grows all summer. The cotton plant has a flower that blooms and this flower becomes a cotton boll. The cotton boll is picked in late fall with a mechanical cotton picker. Before this can be done the plant has to be killed and this is done through a chemical application sprayed on the plant. After the plant is dead the machine goes through the field pulling the cotton off the boll. This takes several times to get all the cotton and it is put into big trailers that hold the loose picked cotton. It is then taken to a cotton gin where it is ginned, the seeds removed and baled. The seeds are used to plant the next year for the new crop of cotton.
no it is grown on a short bush, which is why it is such a labor intensive plant. one must bend down and walk miles hunched over to pick a crop
Cotton is a busy plant that grows in many parts of the United States. It is planted in early spring and by fall the white flowers that grow on the plant become cotton bolls. When the cotton is ready to pick the grower kills the plant so the bolls will open to show the cotton inside. After the plant is dead a cotton picker ( machine) goes through the rows of cotton and pulls the cotton off the plant. It usually takes about 3-5 times for the picker to get all the cotton. The picked cotton is put into big trailers and taken to a cotton gin where it is processed and the seeds removed. It is then packed into a big bale of cotton and shipped.
The boll is the fruit of the cotton plant, containing the seeds and fibers. It develops from the flower and typically opens when mature, revealing the fluffy cotton fibers inside. These fibers are harvested for use in textiles and other products. The boll plays a crucial role in the plant's reproduction and the commercial production of cotton.
Technically a fruit is the fleshy structure surrounding, and protecting , a plants seed or seeds. Cotton bolls are fibrous and not fleshy, but still are develpoed to protect, and distribute the plants seeds, and therefore can be classed a 'fruit'.
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective capsule, around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus GossypiumCotton fibre is obtained from the epidermal cells of cotton seeds
