How do organic farmers deal with pests?

Shot in the dark, but probably a neem oil extract. Some of the newer neem extracts can be fed to the plants to ward off critters that "bite" plants.

Law of unintended consequences claims yet another victim. Now monsanto has patents on plants that are prone to disease and pests. Sounds like an awesome business plan there. Of course, that may have been the plan all along.

There is a space to give the author credit when an article is posted. The poster here chose to not do so. And per your post to me, he also chose to not credit the original source. Based on your info, looks like someone should hit the abuse button.
