Natural colored cotton is cultivated through distant hybridization, transgenic and other biotechnology on the basis of the original colored cotton. Natural colored cotton still maintains the original advantages of cotton fiber, such as softness, comfort and breathability.
The cotton fabric can reduce a little printing and dyeing process and processing cost, and can avoid environmental pollution in a proper amount, but it is still under stable genetic observation due to lack of hue and insufficient color fastness.
Extended data:
The growth and development of cotton needs water and nutrients, which are mainly obtained from soil through roots. The required temperature and air are partly obtained from the soil, which needs the mechanical support of the soil to grow.
The flowers are milky white, turn dark red shortly after flowering, and then wither, leaving a small green capsule called cotton boll. There are cottonseed in the cotton boll, and the fluff on the cottonseed grows from cottonseed hulls and fills the inside of the cotton boll. When the cotton boll matures, it splits, revealing soft fibers.
The physical, chemical and biological characteristics of cotton soil greatly restrict the yield and quality of cotton. Soil moisture, nutrients, temperature, air, salt and texture have great influence on cotton growth.
