Do you know how we end up eating poisoned food?
During the growing season, crops are attacked by many pests. Each pest has its own chemical control. Take cabbage for example.
Common cabbage pests include.
-Diamondback moth
-Aphids
-Cabbage looper
-Cutworms
-Whiteflies
-Thrips
-Cabbage webworm
-Flea beetles
-Cabbage root maggot
Farmers often use different pesticides at each stage of growth to control these pests. Most of these chemicals have a Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) of 7 to 14 days. That means residues remain on the produce even after harvesting. These residues are unsafe for both the farmer and the consumer.
A safer solution is Agripest 75 EC Organic. It works on all vegetable pests from planting to harvesting. It has a PHI of only 24 hours. It leaves no toxic trace on your produce and protects both farmers and consumers.

Low small scale farmer yields has absolutely nothing to do with lack of mechanization
