Out of the total area of about 5,29,900 acres under Madras Americans in the state during 1956-57, the rainfed Cambodia accounted for 2,51,500 acres. Cambodia cotton is cultivated under rainfed conditions mostly in the districts of Coimbatore, Salem, Tiruchirappalli and Madurai where early North East monsoon rains are received. The average yield of the Unirrigated Cambodia raised in the tract is about 40-80 lb. of lint per acre. The success of the rainfed Cambodia crop is mainly dependent on the distribution of rainfall during crop growth and other seasonal conditions. Apart from the weather conditions, which are of course beyond our control, there are ways of getting a good crop adopting suitable cultivation practices which are discussed below.
