Chemical War On Pests Could Cut Farm Costs
New York June 4 Chemical warfare against weeds and insect pests could cut farm production costs and help reduce food surpluses without reducing farm income, says Paul Mayfield, president of the National Agricultural Chemical Association. He estimates annual crop loss due to weeds and pests at 12 to 17 billion dollars. A one third drop in loss could allow maintaining current farm production with about 10 million fewer acres farmed.
