Cotton is a very interesting crop. It has a lot of diversity. If you look at the botany of the species, you will see that it is a warm season plant. It is a perennial grown as an annual. It is classified as a woody shrub and as a C3 plant. Background information will show that this refers to the type of photosynthesis that the plant uses. Cotton is in good company since 85 percent of the plant species have this classification. C3 plants use only the C3 photosynthesis.
