Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed study of the feasibility of growing cotton as a commercial crop in the Hawaiian islands. Despite Hawaii's exceptional climate for cotton production, no large scale commercial operation has ever been successfully maintained. The author, an expert from the United States Department of Agriculture, documents a series of experiments conducted over the course of a year using different types of cotton plants to determine the viability of the crop. The author provides detailed data on the yield, quality, and characteristics of the different varieties tested, such as their resistance to drought, pests, and diseases. The author also shares insights on the best planting, fertilizing, and irrigation practices for growing cotton in Hawaii. The author concludes that several factors, such as the high cost of labor and the lack of an established ginning industry, have so far prevented the development of a large scale cotton industry in Hawaii. Nonetheless, the author's research provides valuable information for anyone interested in growing cotton in Hawaii, and offers insights into the challenges and opportunities of establishing a new agricultural industry in the islands.
