Dead cotton refers to cotton fibers that are no longer viable for production due to various factors such as disease, pest damage, or environmental conditions. These fibers can appear discolored, brittle, or degraded, making them unsuitable for textile manufacturing. In agricultural contexts, dead cotton may also refer to cotton plants that have died before harvest, resulting in a loss of yield.

How does cotton go from plant to cotton?
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.
Cotton balls are made from which part of the cotton plant?
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.

How you harvest cotton?
Cotton grows in a fairly large plant, but to pick the cotton the plant has to be killed so the cotton bolls will open for picking. So, a defoliation takes place and a chemical agent is used to kill the plant. This happens each fall and it has a skunk like smell. After the plant is dead a machine called a cotton picker goes down each row of cotton and pulls the cotton off the plant. Since it all doesn't come off the first time the picker makes several runs for several weeks in the field. If it rains in this time the quality of the cotton goes down for selling. The rain yellows the whiteness of the cotton. After it is picked the picker puts the cotton in big trailers that take the cotton to the gin. At the gin the cotton is cleaned and processed. The seeds are removed and the cotton is put in large bales so it can be taken for auction. When all the cotton is finished in the field the field is plowed under to prevent bollworms.
