Detailed explanation-1: -Plants of cotton of the following crops are highly sensitive to frost.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer. The cotton plant is extremely sensitive to frost and late spring or early autumn frosts can kill the plant and destroy the crop. The soil temperature below 20°C reduces root growth thus retarding plant growth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hard-frost is injurious to cotton cultivation and it requires at least 210 frost-free days. Only light-rainfall (50 to 100 centimetres) is preferred. Cotton can also be cultivated under irrigated conditions. It requires high temperature and bright sunshine for its growth.
