Wrong. USDA Organics does not allow chemical
fertilizers of pesticides of any sort whatsoever.
ALL of the accreditated certifying agencies that
certify organically grown foods under the USDA-NOP
follow the same guidelines.
IOIA provides professional training for organic
farm inspection.
Where did you hear that chemical fertilizers
are allowed in USDA organics? It sounds like
a B-rated martian movie from Saturday nite TV.
