Question

Which of the following statements is incorrect about Organic farming?

Options

• It uses less pesticides.

• Reduces the crop yield.

• It uses only organic fertilizers.

• It protects long-term soil fertility.

Answer 1

Reduces the crop yield.

Explanation:

Organic farming is defined as growing crops without synthetic chemical fertilisers and pesticides and using organic manures/compost, natural pest controls, and crop rotation to maintain soil health and long‑term productivity. It therefore aims to protect (and sustain) soil fertility rather than inherently reduce yields.
