On the use of pesticides
It is impossible to produce a sizeable yield of vegetables without somehow using pesticides on the plants. Pesticides are first and foremost beneficial in making sure growth process of the vegetables is not disrupted by pest infestation and for all produce to be in best physical form.

Likewise, depending on the plant nature some vegetables are more prone to infestations than others. In this case more pesticides are used on them. You are better off knowing that pesticides used in organic farming are likewise organic or natural. This means there is practically no trace of harmful pesticides in each plant consumed. In the table below, you’ll see that for some vegetables it is best that you buy organic, and for some you can choose to go for the conventional.
