| Title : | RESEARCH ON INVESTIGATION CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME COTTON VARIETIES PRODUCED UNDER ORGANIC AND CONVENTIONAL CONDITIONS |
| Abstract : | Cotton is the most important raw material for the textile industry in today's world. Cotton is an industrial crop for which the most chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used. The excess chemicals cause pollution of land and water resources, destruction of biodiversity, and therefore deterioration in human health.

The most important issue when it comes to sustainable agriculture is, undoubtedly, organic agriculture. Organic cotton farming does not use chemical inputs, which is most importance in terms of soil, plant and human health. This study was conducted that four organic and inorganic fertilizers application to two cotton varieties under Harran Plain organic farming and conventional conditions. The aim of this study was to determine that the differences between plant characteristics at cotton varieties produced under organic and conventional production systems, and would be useful in further work and help sustainable agriculture in the future |
