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.
