Cotton Cultivation
"Cotton does not cheat".
It is one of the most important crops in the world, especially because of its application: 60% or so of the cotton fiber is used in the production of a huge range of clothing, from shirts, T-shirts, coats... but there is much more.
To illustrate this crop in figures: China is the world leader in cotton production with an annual production of 6,102,800 tons. Spain produces 64,821 tons and is number 23 in the world.
Its Cultivation
Currently the most efficient method of cotton cultivation is drip irrigation.
Studies show that cotton yields increase from 5.5 to 5.8 tons per hectare (33% more than with the furrow or blanket irrigation method), with water savings of 30%, 20% lower energy consumption and a 15% reduction in labor costs.
The key
Cotton is the most important natural fiber produced in the world. Its importance began in the 19th century with the industrialization process and today it still represents almost half of the world's textile fiber consumption.
