Organic farming has become increasingly popular as consumers prioritize healthier and more sustainable food options. One of the fundamental principles of organic agriculture is the use of natural approaches to pest control, avoiding synthetic pesticides in favor of environmentally friendly methods. This article explores various organic farming techniques for pest management, including companion planting, crop rotation, biological control, and microbial sprays. By employing these natural strategies, farmers can effectively manage pest populations while promoting ecosystem health and sustainability.
