conventional farming
UNIVERSITY PARK -
Conventional and organic
farming have much in
common. They differ
principally in the use of
modern chemical
technology. Conventional
farmers use commercial
fertilizers, pesticides and
animal feed additives to
increase productivity, but
organic farmers prefer to
use natural resources
“Organic and con
ventional farming are
similar in many respects,”
says Peter A. Ferretti,
extension horticulturist at
Penn State, "but they differ
in their use of the products of
chemical technology.
Conventional farmers use
them, but organic farmers
prefer to avoid them. ”
Organic farmers prefer to
use naturally occurring
chemicals such as phosphate
rock and limestone,
manures produced by
domestic animals, mtrogen
derived from the at
mosphere by leguminous
plants, and substances with
pesticidal properties that
are produced by certain
plants.
Conventional fanners use
these chemicals and, m
addition, use commercial
fertilizers, synthetic
pesticides, nutritional ad
ditives in animal feeds, and
animal drugs
Conventional farmers
have been adopting the new
technologies to increase
their profits. Early adopters
of new technologies have
made extra profits, but these
were not sustained when the
technologies were widely
adopted because the new
methods increased
agricultural production, and
prices then declined,
transferring most of the
economic benefit to con
sumers.

Organic versus
manures available on farms
are valuable because they
contain nutrients required
by plants and because they
improve the physical
properties of soils
Both organic and con
ventional farmers use them,
and the amount of these
forms of organic matter
returned is frequently
greater in conventional
farming than in organic
farming because of higher
yields.
“We have put most of our
emphasis on organic gar
dening rather than organic
farming,” says Ferretti.
“Organic gardening is a
considerably more at
tractive and feasible
proposition than is organic
farming In farming, there
just isn’t enough organic
matter to go around Far
mers can’t grow enough on
their own farms. To meet the
nutrient needs of their crops,

they would need to bring in
the organic matter from
several other farms
Organic gardeners operate
on a small scale and can
usually apply grass clip
pings and leaves from their
own land and sometimes
additional organic matter
from other areas.
“Organic gardeners can
control weeds by manual
methods that aren’t feasible
for farms. Gardeners can
choose fruits, vegetables,
and ornamentals that
usually survive without
pesticides and, of course, if
the yield is poor as a result of
nutrient deficiencies, or if
part of the produce is lost to
pests, gardeners haven’t
suffered a financial disaster
because organic gardening
is a hobby, not the primary
source of livelihood. They
can always go to the store
and purchase' what they
need.”
