A study published in Nature Plants found that organic management also boosts the natural defences of plants to prevent pest damage even when pests are abundant. According to the study, decreased insect pests on long-term organic farms have largely been attributed to practices that limit pest build-up, increase predator biodiversity, and increase the number of beneficial insects.
The nitrogen contents of plants grown on organic farms are often lower than those of conventional systems. Nitrogen-limited plants are often less attractive to herbivores, which could also explain the lower pest pressure observed in organic systems.
