Improve the bracketed part of the sentence. The equipment is (adapted to) cotton industries.
Adapted for
The verb "adapt" takes different prepositions depending on meaning: adapted to = adjusted to an environment/condition; adapted for = modified for a specific purpose or use; adapted from = derived from a source.
Here the equipment is made suitable for use in cotton industries — a purpose, not an environment. The correct preposition is therefore "Adapted for".
