AIt does not use genetically modified seeds
BSynthetic pesticides or fertilizers are not used
CIt uses minimal crop rotation
DIt uses ecologically protective practices

Explanation

Organic farming avoids GM seeds and synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, relies on ecologically protective practices, and emphasises crop rotation to maintain soil health.

Minimal crop rotation contradicts its principles – so (C) is the statement that is NOT correct.
