If you are not using roundup, you are still using something. "Organic" pesticides do not work better so you will generally be using more and that goes to the same places roundup does.

- snovv_crash 4y agoThis is not the first thing an organic farmer reaches for when they have a weed problem though.
- johnofthesea 4y agoI use "Organic" pesticides in vineyard and I'm not using it more. I use even less. The thing with "organic" farming is not only that you just spray and it's done. You need to do also other work to manage the healthy environment in your plot. Most people around who use conventional pesticides have neglected vineyards. They are only pruning in spring then tile rows in between, spray and thats it. They do not care about lateral shoots etc. Some even use herbicides - which is completely unnecessary especially in this age of mechanization (there are even electrical hoes for small scale farming).
- car_analogy 4y ago...therefore it's OK to lie about the toxicity of roundup?
- mike00632 4y agoNo. The type of pesticides we are talking about is herbicide which kills plants. RoundUp is sprayed directly onto the food. Alternatives are not because that would kill the crops.
