Why cotton is mostly sold soon after harvest ?

Storing cotton bolls encourages the growth of pink bollworm. Pink bollworm larvae will be found in newly harvested cotton, and developing moths will most likely return to the cotton field. As a result, if there is a decent price, it is smart to sell straight in the market. If a quick sale isn’t possible, keep the cotton in the house and close the doors and windows. Set up a single pheromone trap in the storeroom to catch any developing moths.
