Organic cotton certification INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION FOR ORGANIC AGRICULTURE MOVEMENT [IFOAM]  has formulated standards and guidelines for  organic cotton cultivation and are  followed by many labelling agencies to certify organic cotton and other farm produce.
INDIAN COTTON India is the third largest producer of cotton Percentage of agriculture land under cotton production in India: 5 per cent (8.9 million hectares)  Percentage of total pesticide used for cotton cultivation: 54 per cent cotton makes for 70 per cent of the textile sector's raw material Organic cotton in India Organic cotton production in india is only  miniscule percentage of the total cotton production.
Organic cotton in India Five to seven decades ago, most of the cotton cultivated in the country was ‘eco-friendly’ with little or no use of toxic chemicals in its production.  Even today, there are many pockets in India, where it is  produced without the use of agrochemicals, e.g.,  areas growing Wagad cotton in Gujarat, Y-1  desi  cotton of Khandesh region of Maharashtra,  Maljari in Madhya Pradesh,  part of areas growing Jayadhar and Suyodhar in Karnataka Nandicum in Andhra Pradesh and  parts of cotton areas in north eastern hill region.

The technological properties of various cultivators grown under the organic cultivation such as  micronaire (3.8-5.0),  span length (25.5-29.9 mm) and  fibre maturity parameters  similar to fibres produced by conventional methods

Coloured cotton fabrics
Sally Fox in 1982 took on the challenge of improving an ancient agricultural art. Fox successfully bred and marketed varieties of naturally coloured cotton she calls FoxFiber ®.  Today, Sally Fox designs fabrics with her cotton and continues research.  Fox has received a patent and three Plant Variety Protection Certificates for her naturally colored cottons which, in addition to browns, she now grows in reds and greens.  Her invention has been so popular it has sprouted two successful companies -- Vreseis, Ltd. and Natural Cotton Colours, both operating in Arizona.
Natural qualities found in Fox Fibre: brown, red brown, dark brown, and green color spectrums Provide a fire retardant tendency Eliminate the need for bleaches, dyes, & other costly processes during textile and product manufacturing
