Bug Assassins For Hire

摘要

The global crop-rotection industry is dominated by agrochemical companies such as Syngenta, Monsanto, and Bayer CropScience. It's also dominated by awesome, crime-fighting bugs (note: that is not the technical term).With U.S. and European Union regulators, not to mention supermarket chains, toughening their stance against traditional pesticides, Basel-based Syngenta is now breeding and selling fly-munching mites, caterpillar-killing wasps, and "premium quality" bees in bulk to help farmers find chemical-free solutions to crop damage.
