Fibre Crops

Cotton

PQNK fiber production, documented in short field clips from active cotton plots.

Cotton grown under PQNK

Like every PQNK crop, Cotton is governed by the same four principles: no soil disturbance, no inundation, permanent biological cover and maximum biodiversity. What follows is specific to Cotton — the engineering and management, not the underlying biology.

Overview

Cotton is grown under PQNK as part of Pedaver's fiber production work. In one documented season, cotton planted on permanent PQNK raised beds survived a prolonged drought caused by electricity load-shedding, with no pesticide sprays and only about 10 kg of fertilizer applied all season, staying green and free of pink bollworm while neighboring conventional fields turned yellow and heavily infested, for roughly double the crop performance.

PQNK Practices Applied

  • Ecosystem-based soil and root-zone management instead of routine synthetic inputs
  • Field documentation shared directly from working cotton plots

Results & Testimony

PQNK cotton field clips are among the most-watched short videos on Pedaver's channel, reflecting strong farmer interest in fiber crops grown this way.
