Cotton is a subtropical plant that grows in many warm areas of the world. Born as a tropical plant, it has now developed in other warm regions. More than 100 countries produce cotton, but the best-known cotton plants are developed in the United States, China, India and Australia. The cotton plant has adapted well to the unfavorable atmosphere and ecological difficulties, for example the dry season, salinity or a lot of water. They need a warm, sunny atmosphere to develop. The cotton plant requires well-drained soil with plenty of nitrogen and plenty of rainfall during the growing season. In the harvest season, the weather should be bright and dry. The cotton growing season in Australia lasts approximately six months, starting between August and November (soil preparation) and ending between spring and June
