To bee or not to bee: creating DNA insecticides to replace non-selective organophosphate insecticides for use against the soft scale insect Ceroplastes japonicus Green

To bee or not to bee: creating DNA insecticides to replace non-selective organophosphate insecticides for use against the soft scale insect Ceroplastes japonicus Green

Obviously, the moment has come in agriculture and forestry when we must decide to gradually abandon (where possible) non-selectively acting chemical insecticides, taking into consideration the overall decrease in the total biomass of insects, especially pollinators, and the increased number of di...
