Bug Agentes Biologicos: Creating a Natural Alternative to Noxious Agricultural Pesticides


You may cringe at the sight of those wasps hovering around your head, but you need not fear anymore! Those predatory insects can now be the good guys, programmed to attack only their inherent enemies – such as stinkbugs – and not your skinny behind. All thanks to Bug Agentes Biologicos! The company has found a way to produce wasps that combat bugs and larvae even before they become a threat to those soybean and sugarcane plants, Brazil’s chief cash crops. Bug Agentes Biologicos has mastered the way to spread those wasps onto the vast crop fields in a way quite similar to pesticides being sprayed via airplanes.

Bug Agentes Biologicos’ timing is right since Brazil, being the planet’s third biggest agricultural exporter and one of the world’s largest pesticide consumers, is now beginning to phase out toxic chemical pesticides because of its reduced effectiveness and also as an attempt to reduce untoward effects to the environment and people. It is only Bug Agentes Biologicos that presents an alternative solution to the country’s existing dilemma which is welcomed by Brazilian agricultural, environmental and health agencies with open arms. It is currently running at 100% capacity with goals of doubling its covered acreage this year.

Bug frees its wasps at the right amount, at the right speed, and with the right protection in order to make sure it is useful and effective on crops. For instance, a wasp needs to be properly guarded until it grows strong wings or it might end up in the mouths of giant ants. The company describes its wasps as a natural, efficient solution that eradicates eggs and larvae, preventing an all-out pesky crop infestation. By spreading wasps onto the vast fields, steering clear of small farmers, and targeting the country’s agribusiness giants, Bug Agentes Biologicos is singlehandedly crushing the $7 billion dollar pesticide industry and saves thousands of acres of crops like no other.
