Abstract
A growing uneasiness that the natural environment may be deteriorating is causing increasing numbers of intelligent concerned people, both young and old, to challenge scientific agricultural practices and embrace and promote the back to “nature” philosophy of the organic gardeners. The followers of the “organic” way condemn or prohibit the use of all manufactured agricultural chemicals and advocate the use of only certain “natural” products and biodegradable refuse in producing, and biological means in protecting their “organically” grown foods and ornamentals. If their practices were universally adopted, they contend, a more healthful abundant life in a less polluted environment would soon follow.Keywords
