    Question

    Allowed inputs for organic production are:

    A.

    Manure, compost, Elemental Sulfur and Rock phosphate

    B.

    Bone meal, Blood meal, Soluble boron and glyphosate

    C.

    Magnesium sulfate, manure, compost and Chlorpyriphos

    D.

    Manure, compost and Imidachloprid

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (A) Manure, compost, Elemental Sulfur and Rock phosphate

    Explanation:
    • Organic farming prohibits the use of most synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
    Manure and Compost: Fundamental sources of organic matter and nutrients.
    Elemental Sulfur: A naturally occurring mineral used for soil pH adjustment and as a fungicide.
    Rock Phosphate: A natural mineral source of phosphorus, allowed because it is not chemically processed (unlike Single Super Phosphate).

    Information Booster:
    Glyphosate (in Option B): A synthetic herbicide, strictly prohibited.
    Chlorpyriphos (in Option C): A synthetic organophosphate insecticide, strictly prohibited.
    Imidacloprid (in Option D): A synthetic neonicotinoid insecticide, strictly prohibited.

    Additional Knowledge:
    • Bone meal and Blood meal (Option B) are actually allowed organic inputs, but the presence of Glyphosate in that list makes the whole option incorrect.
    • The general rule is: 'Natural is allowed, Synthetic is prohibited', with some specific exceptions on the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances.
