High-density cotton planting boosts yield and fiber quality, revolutionizing agriculture.
Cotton plants were grown at different densities to see how it affects yield and fiber quality. High plant density produced more lint yield, but too many plants decreased yield. The best density for high yield and good fiber quality was 8.7 plants per square meter. High density plants had more biomass in their reproductive parts, while low density plants had longer fibers. Overall, a plant density of 8.7 plants per square meter is best for getting more cotton and good quality fibers.
