Banned Herbicides & Pesticides
In article , Franz Heymann
writes (a) On what grounds are nicotine classified as "not organic"? Nicotine is a dangerous poison not permitted for use by commercial growers of organic produce and not recommended for use by recreational gardeners wishing to follow organic methods. The fact that nicotine and many other banned substances originate from plant or animal material does not make them suitable for use in organic growing. (b) How is pyrethrum classified? (c) An organic afficionado claimed in this ng (this thread?) that Bordeaux mixture was classified as organic. Both Pyrethrum and Bordeaux Mixture are listed as not suitable for use in organic horticulture. Along with other substances, they are listed as permissible to be used by growers in the conversion period to organic growing. Produce grown with their use cannot be sold as organic. -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |
