Organic farming is a holistic approach that seeks to develop an understanding of the webs of interaction among the myriads of organisms that form the flora and fauna of the field. (i) An organic farmer works to create a system, where the insects are not eradicated, but kept at manageable level by a complex system of checks and balance within a living and vibrant ecosystem. (ii) Organic farmer states that the eradication of pests is not only possible but also undesirable, because many beneficial predatory and parasitic insects cannot survive without them. (iii) This use of bicontrol methods reduces the use of chemical pesticides and thereby pollution.
