GENERAL REMARKS |
It is generally cultivated in well drained black sandy loam soil. This variety matures about 5-6 weeks early as compared to other standard Gujarat cottons. It has continuous production of flushes of flowers and bolls. It is estimated that production of Hybrid-4 may be around 13 lakhs bales.(of 170 Kgs.) if the entire country is taken into consideration. Thus it easily meets the internal demand and export needs as well.
Japanese technicians have produced a fine textured fabric of gossamer quality from this cotton. Innumerable enquiries are being made by European countries and Japan for this cotton variety. |
