\nThe statement “It uses minimal crop rotation” is NOT correct about organic farming.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Organic farming is an agricultural system that avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and growth hormones. (Statements A and B are correct).
\n– It focuses on ecological balance, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable practices to maintain soil fertility and manage pests and diseases. (Statement D is correct).
\n– Crop rotation is a fundamental practice in organic farming. It is used extensively to improve soil health, break pest and disease cycles, manage weeds, and diversify nutrient uptake from the soil, thereby reducing reliance on external inputs. Organic farming uses *extensive*, not minimal, crop rotation.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOther common practices in organic farming include using compost and manure for soil fertility, biological pest control, cover cropping, and conservation tillage. The goal is to build healthy soil and a resilient ecosystem.
