Organic farmers prefer biological control of diseases and pests to the use of chemicals for the same purpose. Justify.
Chemical methods often kill both useful and harmful living beings indiscriminately. The organic farmer holds the view that the eradication of the creatures that are often described as pests is not only possible but also undesirable, for without them the beneficial predatory and parasitic insects which depend upon them as food or hosts would not be able to survive. Thus, the use of biocontrol measures will greatly reduce our dependence on toxic chemicals and pesticides.
