That's a good question. I only learned recently that some pesticides are permitted in organic farming too, but can't yet locate a definitive list. Any idea where I might find such a thing please,

Hi John, Here's the list of pesticides allowed under Soil Association organic standards. The naturally occurring pesticides that are allowed are only allowed to be used within the conditions of use and use must be recorded. See pages 79-81, section 4.11.4: https://www.soilassociation.org/media/1220/farming-and-growing-v17-4-august-2016.pdf …

That looks like it includes everything I wanted and so much more. Provokes more questions and makes clear to me the level of my own ignorance (more research needed, clearly!) but I'm v grateful. Thank you.
