1. Seed cotton should be stored in a warehouse, and the warehouse must be kept dry. Lay clean, dry bricks on the ground, leaving a certain gap between the bricks, with a width of no less than 20 cm, to ensure air circulation; lay bamboo mats or reeds, etc. on the bricks, then pile the cotton on top. 2. The cotton picked back should not be dried directly on the ground; it should be spread on a bamboo bed or a raised bamboo curtain to dry, which is faster and will not mix in three-strand contaminants. When the cotton is dried until the cottonseed makes a crisp crackling sound when bitten with the teeth, the moisture content of the seed cotton is generally around 7.5%, which can satisfy long

When the cotton is dried until the cottonseed makes a crisp crackling sound when bitten with the teeth, the moisture content of the seed cotton is generally around 7.5%, which can meet the humidity requirements for long-term storage.

3. Stiff-boll cotton, pre-frost cotton and post-frost cotton should be harvested and stored separately according to the degree of quality; stiff-boll cotton and post-frost cotton should be distinguished from pre-frost cotton and should be sold separately. Although mixing all kinds of cotton together may look like it will sell for a few yuan more by surface weight, it also lowers the price of all the good cotton being sold, so the loss outweighs the gain.

4. As far as possible, do not use plastic woven bags, etc. to wrap and transport cotton or use them as tying cords, to prevent the mixing in of three-strand contaminants to the greatest extent. The bags and large sacks used for picking and transporting cotton should be changed to white cotton cloth bags, and collection and storage personnel should wear cotton cloth hats to prevent hair from falling off and mixing into the cotton.
