Dear Ms. Maglonzo,
Thank you for your request dated Nov. 23, 2024, made under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
You have requested Cotton Farming.
I am pleased to inform you that your FOI request has been approved. Below are the data that you have requested through our e-FOI portal for your undergraduate thesis:
- Statistics:
a. Line graph - Cotton Area Planted (Sent to your email)
b. Line graph - Seedcotton Production(Sent to your email)
2.For 1 kg of cotton yarn, it can produce approximately 5–6 yards of inabel woven fabric at a width of 22 inches.
3.During last year’s Bt cotton demo, the average number of bolls per plant was 34, with each boll weighing 5 grams, resulting in 170 grams of seed cotton per plant. Using a 35% lint recovery rate, this is equivalent to 59.5 grams of lint per plant
4.For a hectare with a yield of 1,000 kg of seed cotton, 30 laborers are required in one day to complete the harvest.
