3. Sowing Depth: Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in prepared soil, spacing them about 6-12 inches apart in rows or blocks.
4. Sunlight: Egyptian cotton plants require full sun exposure to thrive and produce healthy cotton bolls.

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost during the growing season to provide nutrients for healthy plant development.
• Weed Control: Keep the area around Egyptian cotton plants free from weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
• Pest and Disease Management: Monitor plants for pests such as aphids or cotton bollworms, and treat as needed with organic pest control methods.
• Harvesting: Harvest cotton bolls when they are fully mature and the fibers inside have developed. Remove bolls from the plants and allow them to dry before processing.
