During the entire growing season of the crop, we manually remove weeds 3-4 times to keep the nutrients coming into the growing products. We do not use Glyphosate to control weeds that some farmers treat the soil with.
We manually collect leaves on crops where pests have laid larvae. By this, we interrupt the development cycle of insects, which in 90 days can reach 15 generations. Thanks to chemistry, it would be possible to facilitate the process of growing by treating the leaves, but this is not our way.
