How are cotton balls harvested
Solution
The fruits of the cotton plant (cotton bolls) are about the size of a lemon. After maturing, the bolls burst open and the seeds covered with cotton fibres can be seen.
From these bolls, cotton is usually picked by hand. Fibres are then separated from the seeds by combining by the process called ginning of cotton.
