Tropical plant grown for its bolls filled with soft white fibres, used in fabric production. Highly valued in agriculture and the textile industry.
Gossypium hirsutum is a herbaceous or shrubby plant native to Central America and the Caribbean, widely cultivated in warm regions around the world for its valuable textile fibres. It is the most widely grown cotton species globally, accounting for the majority of commercial production.
Its stems can reach between 1 and 2 metres in height, with lobed leaves and white or pale yellow flowers that, after pollination, produce capsules (or "bolls") containing seeds surrounded by long, soft white fibres. Once harvested and processed, these fibres are used in the production of fabric, thread, and various other textile goods.
In addition to its industrial value, the plant also plays a role in agriculture and ecology, providing nectar for pollinating insects. The seeds, once separated from the fibre, are used for oil extraction and as animal feed.
Although usually grown as an annual crop, it can behave as a perennial under favourable conditions. It requires warm climates, full sun exposure, and well-drained soils to thrive.
