How do you know if an apple has pesticides?
You cannot tell if an apple has pesticides on it just by looking at it. To minimize pesticide exposure, choose organic apples or thoroughly wash conventionally-grown apples with water and a produce wash before eating.
What is the difference between organic apples and non-organic apples?
Organic apples are grown without harmful chemicals and pesticides. Non organic apples are grown with those harmful chemicals.
Is apple an organic food?
Apples may be organic or inorganic, depending on how they are grown. If they are grown without using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, they are organic.
What is the difference between organic apples and un-organic apples?
Organic apples aren't sprayed with pesticides/ herbicides, grown using chemical fertilizers in the soil, and are non-GMO (non genetically modified)
What is conventional farming?
Conventionally grown is an agriculture term referring to a method of growing edible plants (such as fruit and vegetables) and other products. It is opposite to organic growing methods which attempt to produce without synthetic chemicals (fertilisers, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones) or genetically modified organisms. Conventionally grown products, meanwhile, often use fertilisers and pesticides which allow for higher yield, out of season growth, greater resistance, greater longevity and a generally greater mass.
Where on the Eastcoast are apples grown?
Apples are grown on the Delmarva Peninsula.
Is it cheaper to buy organic than intensive?
It is impossible to say without knowing what is meant by intensive. If intensive refers to foods grown conventionally using synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and possibly genetic engineering technology, then foods grown organically are probably more expensive.
Are organic oranges necessary for optimal health benefits, or can conventionally grown oranges provide similar nutritional value?
Research has shown that both organic and conventionally grown oranges provide similar nutritional value. Therefore, consuming conventionally grown oranges can still offer health benefits without the need for organic ones.
Which conventionally grown vegetable tends to be HIGHEST in pesticide residue?
lettuce
Foods grown without pesticides are called?
I do not think there is a name for food grown without pesticide. There is a name for foods grown with pesticides (normally infers chemical pesticide) and there is also a name for foods grown with organic pesticides. But these are two completely different animals.
Where are the most apples grown?
Apples are grown in America,England,Ireland!!
How do the pesticide levels in greenhouse grown produce compare to the pesticide levels in conventional or organic produce?
Organically grown producetheoretically has lower pesticide levels than those grown conventionally or in greenhouses.Specifically, organic agriculture and gardening adheres to non-chemical means to prevent or treat pests and problems. The use of pesticides is an option which is considered after examining the challenge from the perspective of biological, cultural and mechanical controls. The pesticide which will be chosen will be made from such naturally occurring sources as plant body parts. As a natural, non-chemical, non-synthetic pesticide, it will be checked against the harmful possibilities of affecting non-target entities, poisoning living organisms, and remaining in the environment.In contrast, conventionally grown produce generally involves as the first option the use of chemical, non-organic, synthetic pesticides. Such pesticides may be effective in controlling pests and problems. But they also may harm unintended targets and persist in organisms, produce, soil and water.Theoretically, greenhouse-grown produce can be expected to be pesticide-free. The greenhouse functions as a controlled environment in which natural enemies generally are not expected to be present. But perpetually humid, warm environments may contribute to other pests and problems. As a result, pesticides may be applied, and the controls may have a greater likelihood of being non-organic instead of organic.
