Frequently asked questions
QOrganic farmingCan I use organic practices without switching fully to organic production?
Yes. A more diverse crop rotation, mechanical weed control, protection of beneficial organisms, biological agents and organic materials can also be used on a conventional farm. Choose them according to the specific problem — for example, mechanical weed control must suit the crop, the growth stage and the soil moisture.
However, such practices do not give you the right to sell your produce as organic. For that you need certification, inspection and compliance with the organic production rules.
