Correct option is A
The correct answer is (A) Diverse rotations and nonsynthetic insecticides are used for insect management
Explanation:
• Organic agriculture relies on ecological processes rather than synthetic inputs.
• Crop Rotation: Breaking pest cycles by changing the host plant in a field each season.
• Nonsynthetic Insecticides: Using natural products like Neem oil, Pyrethrins (derived from flowers), or biological controls like Ladybugs.
Information Booster:
• Transgenic Crops (Option B): GMOs are strictly prohibited in organic farming.
• Synthetic Herbicides (Option B): Prohibited; organic uses mulch or tillage.
• Inputs (Option C): Organic farming typically aims for 'low external input' systems, though labor inputs are often higher.
Additional Knowledge:
• The goal of organic agriculture is to sustain the health of soils, ecosystems, and people. It relies on ecological cycles and biodiversity adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects.
