HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Organic farming is defined as production of crop, animal, and other products without the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides, transgenic species, or antibiotics and growth-enhancing steroids, or other chemicals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Organic agriculture is based on minimising the use of external inputs, avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic agriculture practices cannot ensure that products are completely free of residues, due to general environmental pollution.

Detailed explanation-3: -While often used interchangeably, ecological and organic farming are not the same. While ecological farming views the soil it works on as a part of a larger ecosystem, organic farming focuses on the final product. Theoretically, organic products could be produced with or without, keeping agroecology in mind.
