Abstract

Cotton is the most important commercial crop if Madras State, occupying an area of eleven lakh acres with a total annual production of 36 lakh bales of lint. The cotton crop is grown for its lint, which is spun into yarns and woven into cloth. The kapas from which the lint is extracted is contained in the fruits or bolls of the plant. As the bolls on the plant mature at different periods of plant life, the harvesting process extends over a period of eight to ten weeks.
