Organic pesticides are those compounds which help eliminate or suppress a given pest, but are made from naturally-occurring materials. Bt (bacillus thuringiensis) bacterial sprays, pyrethroid insecticides (made from chrysanthemums), and insecticidal soaps are a few examples. Synthetic pesticides (such as DDT, chorpyrifos, or aldicarb) are not allowed for organic production.
