No, because hydroponic crops are not planted into the soil.
- koolba 7y agoI totally missed the hydroponic part but now I’m even more confused. If the plants are hydroponic than what are they spraying and why? The land around and under the greenhouse?
- bardworx 7y agoThat’s how I’m reading it. They spray the ground to clear it and the plants are in a container atop the soil. If the farmer plants in the soil that was treated, it can’t be considered organic for 3 years (unless the substance that was used is certified for organic crops)
