- cultofmetatron 3y agoI'll agree with you that some organic pesticides can be just as bad. however there are much stricter guidelines on when and how they are applied to qualify for organic certification. In the case of conventional, the application methodology is more about the bottom line. which in many cases means spraying way more to maximize yield.
