Variety traits

Cotton growing season

Gossypium L.

Biological characteristic of cotton that determines the time from sowing to boll opening, averaging 110–150 days with an active temperature sum of 2000–3000 °С.

In the reference 11 varieties crop Cotton, where this is mentioned in the description.

The duration of the growing season is a determining factor in the suitability of cotton varieties for specific climatic zones. Depending on the earliness of the variety, this period varies from 110 to 160 days, which directly influences the planning of sowing dates and strategies for protecting the crop from early autumn frosts.

Managing crop development during this period involves regulating irrigation rates, which can delay maturation if excessive, and applying techniques such as topping to limit vegetative growth. Proper progression through developmental stages is necessary to ensure high fiber yield and quality, as well as the feasibility of applying defoliation before mechanized harvesting.
