Organic farmers do use pesticides, they just use the ones approved for organic production, such as Bt insecticides.
To protect birds from pesticides, you can use organic farming methods that reduce pesticide use, plant native vegetation to provide habitat and food sources, and avoid using pesticides during nesting season. Additionally, you can encourage the use of bird-safe pesticides and provide clean water sources for birds to drink from.
Pesticides effect food webs because when there on a plant a plant eater will eat it and when the predator of the pray eats the plant eater it then will have a chance of dying because of the pesticides inside its prey. Then something Will eat the animal wit the pesticides in it then will affect hat animal. and so on! for example;A Rabbit could eat a lettuce and their could be pesticides in it the a fox will eat the rabbit and the has a chance of dying etc I hope this has helped ;)
The first pesticides were probably phytotoxins, chemicals produced by plants to discourage insect infestation. The term "pesticide" simply describes how a chemical is used, not what it's made of. For example, the infamous Zyklon-B that the Nazis used in their death camps was manufactured as a pesticide.
A snake is an animal without arms. It moves using its muscles and scales, and can still capture and consume prey without the need for arms.
Please look up information before reporting that bats are not useful. The potential extinction of America's bats is more than just a conservation issue. During spring and summer bats eat more than half their body weight in insects every night to store up fat reserves for the long winter hibernation. If America's bats die out scientists say the loss to the farming industry would be devastating. Bats are one of nature's greatest pesticides, while they are awake from hibernation (180 days or so), a million little brown bats will eat - and this is a conservative estimate - in the region of 500 tons of insects. Imagine if all the bats died...our food prices would skyrocket. The cost to farmers for pesticides would increase tremendously. The University of Boston, using a test study compiled over eight counties in Texas, believes the US farming industry will go from spending $1bn a year on pesticides to $9bn.
organic Cotton is grown without using pesticides from plants which are not genetically modified
Organic products are grown without using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
Although organic farmers do in fact typically use some pesticides, they are greatly limited in what kinds of pesticides they are allowed to use. They therefore have to typically use lots of hand labor in the production of their crops. This is one reason why organic produce, for example, tends to be a little more costly than its counterpart.
Organic simply means grown without using pesticides or synthetic fertilisers.
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.
Organic food is organic because it was grown without using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. In addition, if the organic food is processed, it does not have additives and preservatives that are not organic. It is non-GMO.
The only difference - is that the organic cotton has been grown without the use of artificial pesticides etc. Farmers have used natural products (eg natural fertilizers) to aid growth, and using other insects to keep pests under control rather than use manufactured pesticides.
Organic foods are grown without using any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Many people prefer them for this reason.
farmers avoid using pesticides because it is a chemical made in factories. It reduces the fertility of the soil and it also kills useful bacteria already present in the soil.AnswerUS farmers mainly avoid pesticides primarily due to their cost of both purchase and application. If any particular pest is not prevalent enough in the field to pay for the pesticide use, he will not apply it. Also, organic farmers must avoid using non-approved pesticides in order to have their crop be "certified."
Non organic fruit is fruit that has been grown using pesticides, which are used for keeping away insects that will try to eat the fruit. Organic fruit is fruit that has been grown without any harmful pesticides. Organic fruit is much better and healthier to eat than non organic fruit, as pesticides are often absorbed into the fruit and this can harm you, so eat organic fruit without any pesticides in it. Ladybirds will usually eat insects that try to snack on organic fruit, hedgehogs will eat slugs and snails etc. etc.
Making organic meat involves feeding the animals natural products, and other things that dont have chemicals in them. Animals that produce the Non-organic meat are often fed things like grain or feed enhanced with chemicals that can make them sick or unhealthy.
Some of the best ways to keep bugs away without using pesticides in the garden, are to use egg shells and organic products such as used coffee grounds. The acidic nature will help ward off bugs.
