Explanation:

cotton cultivation in India existed since the Harappan times.
The staple length of cotton is the length of the cotton fibre. Long staple cotton has longer fibre length and is hence more fine and better suited for modern spindles and weaving machinery.
Compared to it short staple cotton is rough but due to its more moisture absorption capacity it is ideally suited to hot and humid Indian season.
Cotton grows best in black soil regions but that does not mean that it is confined to those regions only. It is grown extensively in Haryana , Punjab and Rajasthan as well.
