ORGANIC	PESTICIDE FREE
It means that the product is ''certified organic'' under USDA who follows certain criteria and certifies the product as an organic product. They have a USDA seal on it.	It means the product is not certified under USDA and don't, have USDA organic seal on it instead of that the product is labeled as pesticide-free(free from insecticides or fungicides) which mostly labeled by farmers.
Produced without using pesticides or fertilizers instead of that they produced by ionizing radiation sewage sludge and bioengineering methods.	Product produced by using pesticides or fertilizers on it.

REASON WHY THEY ARE NOT SAME

Organic products and pest-free are not considered the same thing because the organic product is generated through qualifying the NOP(Natural Organic Program) standards in which no pesticides used but they often use pesticides(produced through natural material) under these substances.

However, endothermy requires a number of changes in various body systems to work. Birds and mammals have solved the problems associated with endothermy and higher activity levels using some of the same...
