U.S. Department of agriculture 'chemical usage summary' and i quote 'Cotton is considered the worlds 'dirtiest' crop due to its use of insecticides and 'most' hazardous pesticides to human and animal health. Cotton covers 2,5% of the worlds cultivated land and yet uses 16% of the worlds insecticides more than any other single major crop!'
' Aldicarb, parathion, and methamideopho, three of the most acutely poisonous insecticides to humans is still used in 25 countries including the u.s.!' xs2man i'm not making the up! the us departmant of agriculture has a very informative section on pesticides us in the farming of cotton! please check it out! i certainly wont be using any cotton in my drippper unless its 100% organic and i implore anyone who is using household cotton to do the same!
