In some U.S. states, it is illegal to grow cotton in home gardens primarily to prevent the spread of pests and diseases that can affect commercial cotton crops, such as the boll weevil. These regulations help protect the agricultural industry by minimizing the risk of infestations that could be devastating to larger cotton farming operations. Always check local regulations to ensure compliance with specific agricultural laws in your area.
