Fertilizers, insecticides, weed killers, and fungicides will expand, aided by new crop varieties, liquid-applied pesticides, public pest-loss concerns, corrected soil-deficiency misattributions, better fertilizers, pest invasions like pink bollworm and witchweed, and a large pool of trained pilots after World War II.
