True or False: Organic farmers can use certain chemicals but no fertilizers on their crops.

The statement is false because organic farmers are permitted to use specific fertilizers, including natural and organic fertilizers, as long as they comply with organic standards. Organic farming emphasizes the use of natural farming practices and inputs, which includes a variety of organic fertilizers such as compost, manure, and other plant-derived materials, but does not prohibit the use of all fertilizers outright.

Additionally, while synthetic chemicals are largely restricted in organic farming, there are some approved substances allowed for pest and disease management. This reflects the balance organic farmers seek between maintaining soil fertility and pest control without relying on synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.

The choice that indicates the possibility of only using natural fertilizers acknowledges an important aspect of organic practices, but it does not encompass the full range of options available. Saying that organic farmers can use no fertilizers at all would misrepresent the methods and regulations guiding organic farming. Thus, the understanding that organic farmers can use certain fertilizers supports the categorization of the statement as false.
