Canadians have developed an alternative pesticide field treatment system.
Organic powder on the field will now be delivered by bees. Ulyakanadtsy equipped with special trays through which insects will fly out into the street. Inside the stalls, the Vectorite biologically pesticide with fungicidal properties, that is, antifungal. The idea belongs to professors at the University of Guelph (Ontario). They developed the concept 20 years ago and are now retired, but they advise the developers of Bee Vectoring Technology, which and started developing a bee biopesticide.
Ashish Malik, general director of the company, is confident that bees are more effective and safe sprayers than traditional equipment. “There are many natural pesticides on the market today, but the methods for spraying them are outdated. Machines are wasting too much. Our pesticide can also be sprayed in the usual way, it will not become less organic from this. But our innovation is that now it can be done without the use of water. Moreover, delivery is more accurate, not a single plant will be left without attention. ”American, Canadian, Mexican, Spanish and Italian farmers have already tested this technology in their fields. Bees processed blueberries, strawberries and tomatoes. The experiment was conducted in 2016. And, according to its results, the crop has grown significantly. In 2019, Canadians want to apply for the sale of pesticide in the countries of the European Union.
