What is the ideal temperature to grow cotton?

The ideal temperature for growing cotton typically ranges between 70°F and 95°F (21°C to 35°C). Optimal growth occurs when daytime temperatures are warm, promoting photosynthesis, while cooler nights help the plant recover. Extreme temperatures outside this range can stress the plants and negatively impact yield and fiber quality. Additionally, consistent warmth is essential during the flowering and boll development stages.
