1.only control weeds, pests and diseases where necessary, using organic farming techniques and approved materials
2.maintain soil fertility using crop rotation and other organic farming methods.
3.only process organic food where necessary, using limited approved products and substances

1.fertilisers listed in the organics regulations.
2.pesticides listed in the organics regulations.
3.products for cleaning and disinfection listed in the organics regulations.

The contractor will be responsible for the application and certification of Organic Status to an approved UK organic control body once the works are complete.
