That chemicals, genetic modification and synthetics are disallowed is the reason why organic farmers do not use herbicides. The equivalent controls in organic farming receive the label botanicals if the treatments come from plants, such as pyrethrin from Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium. Much of the plant pest control in organic farming will be achieved by eliminating the stresses that encourage pathogens and pests through respect for plant-specific air, heat, light, moisture and nutrient needs.
