FINE – FIBER COTTON’S CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE: INVESTIGATE HOW THE CULTIVATION OF FINE – FIBER COTTON CAN CONTRIBUTE TO SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES, FOCUSING ON HEALTH, WATER MANAGEMENT, AND ORGANIC FARMING

Abstract

the cultivation of fine-fiber cotton presents several opportunities to contribute to sustainable agricultural practices, especially in regions with high cotton production. This research examines how fine-fiber cotton farming can enhance soil health, improve water management, and promote organic farming methods. The study highlights the potential for fine-fiber cotton to be grown using practices that minimize environmental degradation, reduce water usage, and support biodiversity. Special attention is given to the use of organic fertilizers, crop rotation, and conservation tillage techniques that can maintain or even improve soil fertility. Additionally, the paper explores the role of fine-fiber cotton in reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides and fertilizers, aligning it with broader sustainable farming practices. By integrating fine-fiber cotton cultivation into sustainable agricultural systems, farmers can achieve long-term environmental, economic, and social benefits.
