On the border of Tianzhu, there are already signs of locust plague here.

Locusts swarm in farmland, eating rice, wheat and fruit trees.

Farmers have suffered heavy losses. If the locust swarms are not eliminated and allowed to develop, this year's food production will not only be reduced, but there will be no harvest.

So President Tianzhu and the CEO of Bayer Crops rushed here with a group of people to start eradicating the locusts from the most severely affected areas.

The local area quickly arranged planes and began preparations for spraying Bayer's new pesticide.

The plane loaded a sufficient amount of pesticide powder, took off, and quickly arrived at the locust-infested area. It flew at low altitude and sprayed the pesticide.

After the spraying was completed, the locusts seemed unaffected and were still eating the crops.

Bayer's CEO calmly explained: "It usually takes about eight hours for our pesticide to completely kill adult locusts. The fastest it takes effect is two hours, and the slowest it takes no more than twelve hours."

"Don't worry. Tonight, you will see countless dead locusts on the ground, and the eggs laid by those locusts will also be killed. The entire effect can last for three to five days."

President Tianzhu nodded confidently while holding a telescope to observe the locust swarms in the distance. He was very confident in Bayer's pesticides. They are produced by a large manufacturer and have guaranteed quality. There will definitely be no problems.

Sure enough, two hours later, locusts began to die one after another in the area where Bayer's pesticide was sprayed.

On the ground and in the air, locusts kept falling to the ground. After landing, they fluttered a few times, then stopped struggling with their bellies in the sky. Only their limbs were still trembling slightly, and they looked like they were no longer alive.

The people in Tianzhu cheered instantly. They did not expect that Bayer's pesticides could have such a good effect.

Bayer's CEO looked proud: "Did you see it? Our pesticide is not only effective, it is also the fastest. Locusts started to die within two hours. It is much faster than DuPont's pesticide, and it is not very toxic."

, the harm to people and the environment is very small.”

"And our pesticides are the cheapest. Overall, they are the most cost-effective. Needless to say, how to choose?"

President Tianzhu nodded with satisfaction and was about to praise the other party when he suddenly smelled a pungent chemical smell at the end of his nose.

His expression suddenly changed. The place where these people were standing was separated by a hill from the farmland where pesticides were sprayed. They were not downwind. How could they still smell the smell from such a distance? How strong was the smell at this scene?

Bayer CEO also smelled the smell, and the smile on his face suddenly froze: "Mr. President, don't worry, although this smell is strong, its toxicity is very low, it has no impact on the human body, and it will soon degrade and become non-toxic.

.”

President Tianzhu looked uncertain and reluctantly accepted this statement.

But the agricultural experts and environmental experts standing nearby became a little ugly when they smelled the chemical smell in the air.

Although the smell in the air is relatively light, it is floating over from such a distance. It doesn't look like it is not poisonous. Even if the toxicity is low, it is still poisonous.

If you use it in small amounts, it may be fine, but now that the locust plague is so serious, if you want to completely kill the locust swarms, you must use it in large quantities.

When this toxicity accumulates, not only will there be poison residues on the food, but it will also seep into the land and groundwater, causing great pollution and threatening people's health for a long time.

You must test it carefully and see the results before talking.

If the toxicity is really high, it must not be extended to other places for use.

Experts took out testing tools one after another and began to test the air quality to see how much toxicity remains in the air and how long it lasts.

They also went to the area where pesticides were sprayed and picked up some dead locust entities for testing to see if birds would be poisoned after eating them.

While the experts were conducting tests, the remaining people looked at the swarms of locusts in the sky and felt something was wrong.

Why are locusts dying slower?

At the beginning, the locusts died quite quickly. Why did the locusts die slower after more than an hour?

Why doesn’t the density of locust swarms in the sky change significantly?

It feels like the mortality rate is not too high, not even 50%.

Even a layman like President Tianzhu could tell that something was wrong.

He immediately asked: "Bayer, can you please explain why the locusts die so slowly? What is the mortality rate of locusts that your pesticide can achieve?"

Bayer's CEO also looked a little embarrassed, but he still managed a smile and said: "Mr. President, don't worry, it will take a certain amount of time for the locusts to die. It will take eight hours to kill them all. It's only been more than three hours now, please wait patiently."

, you will see all the locusts dead tomorrow."

President Tianzhu nodded thoughtfully. Well, you really can't blame the other party. After all, it does take a certain amount of time to achieve a 90% locust eradication rate.

He was about to speak when his stomach suddenly turned violent and he felt nauseous. He took a deep breath to suppress this feeling.

Unexpectedly, when I took this breath, the choking smell in my nose became stronger. It was like opening a flood valve in an instant, and I couldn't help but bend down and vomit.

After vomiting, I felt my legs were weak. I was about to stand up when I suddenly felt dizzy. I stumbled and almost fainted.

The guard next to him was shocked and rushed over to help the President. He was carried into the car at the speed of light and sent to the hospital.

Everyone looked at this scene, dumbfounded, and then glared at the Bayer CEO.

At this moment, the CEO of Bayer wished that there was a crack in the ground that he could crawl into. He also felt aggrieved. Is the president of a country so weak? Can't stand the smell of chemicals? People like him who exercise regularly can only smell a little.

Nothing happened.

Everyone at the scene quickly evacuated. They wanted to go back for testing and immediately come up with a toxicity report to slap Bayer in the face and strive for an early return.

If they had only had doubts in their hearts before, after President Tianzhu was smoked to the point of passing out, everyone suddenly felt like they were in the clear mirror.

Bayer's pesticide is definitely a strong pesticide, very toxic and must not be used.

Otherwise, we cannot explain it to the people.

It can’t be said that in order to protect food, people and the environment were sacrificed?

When the locust extermination operations in the desert countries and Tianzhu countries were frustrated, the pesticide experimental area in the Philippines was full of joy.

The locust plague in Ethiopia is one of the most serious areas, and the national grain production has been reduced by more than 50%.

Most of the locusts have flown to neighboring countries, but many remain. After eating rice and wheat, they are still gnawing on fruit trees and even turf.

So as soon as Jemol received the pesticide from Sanqing, he immediately arranged a plane to spray the pesticide.

The plane circled the area where the locust swarms were densest, spraying wildly, and layers of white mist enveloped the entire locust swarm.

About ten minutes passed.

Crackling!

The locusts in the sky kept falling to the ground, while the locusts on the ground turned over, belly up, twitching and died.

People looked at all this and opened their mouths one by one, as if they were dreaming.

They had never seen such a miraculous insecticide before and were completely shocked.

After a while, he finally woke up and cheered happily.

Some people even beat gongs and drums and danced.

Jemol was overjoyed. The effect of Sanqing's special pesticide was so powerful that it compared other pesticides to dregs.

He put on gloves, grabbed a handful of locust carcasses and threw them into the bag: "Let's take these for toxicological testing to see if this pesticide is harmful to humans, birds, and the environment."

It wasn't until dark that everyone left. They saw with their own eyes that the locusts were dying in large numbers. Now there are not many locust swarms left here.

Early the next morning, someone knocked on Jemol's door.

"Minister, go and take a look. All the locusts are dead. Our locust plague will be over soon." The visitor said very excitedly.

Jemol quickly put on his clothes and ran to the pesticide field. He only saw locust corpses scattered on the ground and not a single locust in the sky.

He couldn't help but laugh heartily.

This killing rate is too high. The locusts will really be completely extinct this time.
Chapter completed!
