The correct answer is: (II) and (III) only
Organic forming is the form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost and biological pest control to maintain soil productivity. It excludes the use of manufactured fertilizers, pesticides, plant growth regulators, genetically modified organisms, live stock antibiotics, etc. It uses only naturally produced inputs like composts.
