Cotton is grown all over with long hot summers and dry with plenty of sunshine and low humidity. Indian cotton, Gossypium arboreum, is thinner, but the base is designed for the treatment by hand. American cotton, Gossypium hirsutum, produced the most basic necessities for the production of the machine. Planting is done from September to mid November and the crop is harvested between March and May The cotton bolls are harvested by fishermen and gatherers stripper pin, which will eliminate the cap of the plant.
