For organic farming it's advised to use integrated pest management (IPM) which is a combination of cultural, physical, mechanical, biological and chemical methods to combat insects pests where these chemicals are highly recommended to be biopesticides and/or botanically made pesticides. These mechanism include crop rotation to break life cycle of a particular pest which affect only a given crop, mechanically by mowing, ploughing or destruction of host crop, physically by doing frequent scouting and kill/destroy pests, their eggs ,larval or pupal stage. Biopesticides , botanical pesticides like:-

• Pygar-made from pyrethrin +garlic
• Neemroc from Neem plant extract
• Pyerine- control of white flies and aphids
• Neemraj and Nimbecidine(aphids, thrips, white flies, leaf miner, beetles etc)
• Bio power- control aphids- Osho chemical
• Yellow traps in white flies control
• Biolep -for African bollworm

.....and the list is endless

I believe they should be available in a well established Vet shops or agrochemical outlets near you especially in areas where horticultural crop production are intensively done
