Cultivation Not Water Makes Cotton Thrive

Agricultural agent Bonanne County and Mayfield say cotton grows best when soil stays moist by cultivation rather than frequent irrigation. They note one irrigation before planting and two after can be excessive for some crops, stressing deep roots and early summer saviors.
