Comilla-5

Comilla-5 refers to a high-yielding variety of cotton developed in Bangladesh. It is named after the Comilla district, a region known for its cotton production. This variety was developed through agricultural research aimed at improving the yield and quality of cotton crops in the region. Comilla-5 is known for its relatively short staple length and is primarily used in the production of coarse fabrics and other textile products. The introduction of Comilla-5 played a significant role in boosting the local cotton industry and supporting the livelihoods of farmers in Bangladesh. While other cotton varieties with longer staple lengths are preferred for finer textiles, Comilla-5 remains important for specific applications and local markets. Research and development efforts continue to focus on improving the characteristics of Comilla-5 and other indigenous cotton varieties in Bangladesh.
