Organic and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) go hand in hand, however just because the pesticide is on the organic list, doesn't make it safe for all living things. Learn about both the pros and cons and how to choose wisely. Gain insight on why pests target your plants and how IPM is a must for an organic grower. In addition, learn what makes a pesticide organic, the benefits to that and some of the drawbacks in treatment.
