Abstract
Organic horticulture is a dynamic and sustainable approach to cultivating plants that prioritizes environmental health, biodiversity, and human well-being. This combination of high-yielding production technology has helped the country develop a food surplus as well as contributing to concerns of soil health, environmental pollution, pesticide toxicity, and sustainability of agricultural production. Alternatives for managing pests and diseases in organic farming mostly focus on preventive methods as opposed to curative therapies, which are founded on ecologically safer management techniques. The priority has been placed on maintaining the ecosystem’s health, allowing plants to become resistant to insect pests and illnesses.
