Cotton is dispersed primarily through its seed fibers, which are lightweight and fluffy. When the cotton bolls mature and open, the fibers are exposed to the wind, allowing them to be carried over distances. Additionally, animals and water can aid in the dispersal of cotton seeds, as they can attach to fur or be transported in water. This natural dispersal mechanism helps cotton plants colonize new areas.

How cotton is formed?

Cotton is part of the seed of the cotton plant. The cotton is white fluffy strands attached to the cotton seed that allows the seed to catch the wind and be dispersed. We collect these fluffy bundles just as the pod opens and scrape off the seed, keeping the cotton fluff which is combed and twisted into cotton thread.

How do cotton grass fruit disperse its seeds?

Cotton seeds stay in the boll and have to be removed from the dense cotton. The first stage in the process is to kill the cotton plant so the bolls open. The cotton is picked by a machine and then in cotton trailers taken to the gin. The gin removes the seeds and the cotton is cleaned and baled. The seeds are saved so they can be replanted. Grasses are dispersed by winds and animals while fruit trees need bees to disperse the pollen. This time of year fruit and nut trees have blossoms on them and the farmer puts bee hives out in the orchards. The bees pollinate the blossoms and the added benefit is honey.
