	Organic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Organic (military), a military unit predominantly of one type (armour, infantry, artillery, etc.) may incorporate subunits of a different type, to improve combined arms capability e.g.

	Controlling Plant Diseases the Organic Way (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A good way to think of the organic farmer's approach to controlling plant disease is to think of the organic way as a preventative "wellness regime" as opposed to a course of "treatments" after sickness has set in.
		Using fumigants to prevent disease is like prescribing really strong antibiotics: they kill all the good organisms in the soil along with the bad.
		One of the biggest rewards of organic farming is healthy soil that is alive with beneficial organisms.

	Why Organic?
		Organic foods are produced without the use of chemicals, herbicides, fungicides, petroleum-, sewage- or sludge-based fertilizers or chemical pesticides.
		Organic food is not bio-engineered, genetically modified, nor is it irradiated.
		Organic farmers plant certain flowers and bushes to attract helpful insects who will then eat or deter pests that might otherwise eat the crops; conventional farms kill off insects and pests, helpful and hurtful to the farmer.

	Organic means of Disease & Insect Control
		To prevent spreading fungal diseases from plant to plant, disinfect pruning shears between cuts, dip the blades in a 10% solution of chlorine bleach(1 part bleach to 9 parts water) or pure alcohol or peroxide Some rose growers submerge their bareroots in the bleach solution or peroxide before planting in spring or fall.
		Aphids are very slow moving insects and the chances of those ones getting back on the plant is almost nil due to their predators on the ground and spidermites absolutely HATE WATER, so they won't hang around where they are constantly subjected to this.
		Because wet foliage encourages fungal diseases, it is wise to do this early in the day or on a windy day so leaves dry off readily.

		Since I thought it was a disease and I had no books on plant disease I just talked about it with other gardeners.
		Second, I assumed the browning of the leaves was due to disease brought by the insect.

	Organic Gardening Tips
		Organic gardening revolves around preventative pest management, rotations, soil fertility and nurturing the natural enemies of the pests in your garden.
		Detractors regularly say the quality of organic vegetables is not as high as that of conventional vegetables, but organic producers generally cull harder and market less of their produce to keep the quality high.
		Organic vegetables are traditionally sold on the perception that they are healthier than the traditionally grown vegetables.

		Organic matter is important to soil structure, and, therefore, to the health of a vegetable crop.
		Organic disease management practices are based on nonchemical sanitation, cultural, physical, and biological means, as well as application of organically approved chemicals.
		Examples of seed-borne diseases are anthracnose of lima beans, mosaic virus of southern peas, bacterial blight of snap beans, fl rot of cabbage, and leaf spots of turnip and mustard greens.

	Organic Grape Disease Control 2005 Trials - Erie Regional Grape Research and Extension Center
		Disease was rated using the Barratt-Horsfall scale and was converted to % area infected using Elanco conversion tables.
		To examine organic fungicides in the field, a trial was conducted in a mature vineyard of Vitis labrusca 'Concord' at the Lake Erie Regional Grape Research and Extension Center in North East, PA (Table 4).
		Armicarb O (organic) provided no control of the disease on fruit and three applications of the 5 lb rate produced unacceptable marginal necrosis on leaves.

		If concerned about the disease, the cuts of meat to avoid would be any that might come in contact with the spinal cord or brain matter, including beef cheeks, tongue and other head meat.
		Because organic means that the “product being purchased is fully traceable, has passed rigorous inspections, and, in the case of organic beef, has never been fed any animal by-products in any form,” says Katherine DiMatteo, Executive Director of the Organic Trade Association.
		Organic practices prohibit feeding slaughter by-products of any kind to organic mammals and poultry that are naturally herbivores.

	G6220 Organic Gardening Techniques, MU Extension
		Vegetable plant diseases may be caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, mycoplasms or may be the result of a stressful environment that produces disease-like symptoms.
		Disease resistance means that although a plant may occasionally contract the disease, it is much less likely than other varieties to do so, and if attacked, may not be seriously affected.
		Organic management of insect pests is based on avoiding a pest outbreak rather than dealing with the pest after it has acquired a foothold in the garden.

	OSU Organic Apple Disease Spray Guide
		This is accomplished by developing a disease management program that integrates the use of disease resistance, various cultural practices, and knowledge of disease biology to minimize fungicide use.
		Unless disease resistant varieties are used, all of these diseases must be controlled with the use of fungicide early in the growing season (from green tip or 1/2 inch green through first to third cover, mid to late June).
		Organic growers must understand that it may not be feasible to use "organic" fungicides on a strict calendar schedule with a precise number of days between sprays.

	Organic Vegetable Disease Management
		Disease management is all about prevention — it’s easier to stop a disease from getting started than it is to manage it once it starts spreading.
		Diseases are like a kitchen stool--to stand on their own, they need three legs: a susceptible host, the presence of an infectious agent (a pathogen), and the right environmental conditions.
		If you have reason to expect a disease to appear, as when late blight is in the neighborhood, or if scouting turns up the first signs of a disease like powdery mildew, then it may be necessary to apply a protectant material to prevent crop loss.

	A beginner's guide to organic pest and disease control
		If you are a newcomer to organic gardening you probably think that being organic means lots of hard physical work and simply swapping your conventional sprays for organic ones.
		For organic gardeners there is also another very important tool in preventing pests and diseases, this is choosing varieties that have been bred for their pest and disease resistance.
		So to all the beginners who thought they were just going to do a straight swap from conventional to organic gardening by simply changing their sprays it is not quite so simple.

		Although this trial is focused on organic root rot control, all raspberry growers are impacted by this disease and will benefit from any new management strategies that are developed.
		In the spring of 1999, in cooperation with Jan Pigman at Pigman's Organic Produce Patch, and with the funding support of OFRF, we began to study six organic treatments in combination with raised and flat beds for the control of raspberry root rot.
		Disease analysis indicated that crown gall and Armillaria (shoe string) root rot were present in the field along with Phytophthora root rot.
