農藥 refers to agricultural chemicals, specifically pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. It does not refer to fertilizers (化學肥料). Furthermore, organic agriculture allows the use of fertilizers as long as they are not chemical fertilizers, so portraying "without agricultural fertilizers" as (i.e. organic farming) is completely incorrect and misleading.

Yep. Thanks.

Fungicides and herbicides are both pesticides, according to Wp, for example.

I'm deleting "(i.e. organic farming)" since in organic farming, synthetic fertilizers aren't used, and as you say, 无农药 is about pesticides rather than fertilizers.
