Indiscriminate and frequent use of agrochemicals have destroyed the natural balance. Naturally, the population of all living organisms tend to be regulated by their natural enemies. However, most of the agrochemicals the farmers use kill the natural enemies because they are more sensitive to pesticides and insecticides than the pest insects. Sometimes, i wonder whether the introduction of green revolution has done us good or harm?. Your guess is as good as mind. Even though, agrochemicals have a fast curative action but they have not been able to safe any outbreaks. Most often the situation is salvage by the natural enemies of pest insect. Free things are expensive so farmers be ware of that and in any case we are always at the receiving end. I agree with the writer.
