Comments on: Research Disputes Benefits of Organic Food, Challenges Earlier Findings http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=412 News on pesticide science, policy and activism Wed, 15 May 2013 15:03:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Elizabeth http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=412#comment-71384 Elizabeth Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:56:40 +0000 http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=412#comment-71384 From what I can see, the study is just another example of really poor research. The researcher compares the produce from 3 plots – the so-called organic plot was fertilized with manure and no pesticides were used. I am sorry. That is not organic vegetable production. How long was that ground free of chemicals? No information. Did they use compost? No information. To get the full benefits of organic methods it really takes a 10 year conversion – but at least 3 years should be reported to meet organic standards. Please do not feature such lowsy “science” on your site!

Many thanks!
Elizabeth
