How can farmers control the growth of insect pests?
Companion plants, crop rotation, herbicides, insecticides, natural enemies, plowing and tilling, resistant varieties, row covers, and soil drenches are ways that farmers control the growth of insect pests. Insect pests can shelter in weeds, whose presence can be eliminated by pre-emergent, target-specific herbicides that eliminate undesirable vegetation before they can take over resources and space and by soil drenches that eliminate ground-dwelling, surface-sheltering insect pests. Companion planting, crop rotation, natural enemies, resistant varieties, and row covers number among the more natural, non-synthetic, organic ways to control the growth and return of insect pests.

How organic cotton is produced?
Organic farming prohibits the use of synthetic chemicals to control pests, except in extreme cases. Instead, natural predators and intercropping are used to control pests and special machinery and fire control handle weeds. Organic farming methods use natural fertilizers, like compost and animal manure, that recycles the nitrogen already in the soil rather than adding more, which reduces both pollution and N2O emission.
