From our crop reference

Cotton is a fibre crop, grown in the kharif season. Sow it in May–Jun and expect to harvest in 160–200 days. It wants a pH of 6.0–8.0 (close to neutral) and 21–30°C. Plant at 90 × 60 cm, allowing 1.5–2.5 kg (Bt) of seed per hectare. A good crop returns around 2–3 t seed cotton. Watch for pink bollworm, whitefly, jassid.
