“1. Insects and fungi are not the real cause of plant diseases but only attack unsuitable varieties or crops imperfectly grown. Their true role is that of censors for pointing out the crops that are improperly nourished and so keeping our agriculture up to the mark. In other words, the pests must be looked upon as Nature's professors of agriculture: as an integral portion of any rational system of farming. 2. The policy of protecting crops from pests by means of sprays, powders, and so forth is unscientific and unsound as, even when successful, such procedure merely preserves the unfit and obscures the real problem -- how to grow healthy crops." (An Agricultural Testament)” Sustainable AgriculturePest Control Author:Sir Albert Howard
“She said how ludicrous it was to plant huge fields of the same kinds of crops, guaranteeing pests -- and the need to use chemicals -- when, back home, the same crop was planted every seven rows. Mixing things up meant that a pest would starve before reaching the next row it needed to eat.” FarmingPest Control Book:Live Close to Home Source: Live Close to Home

“As I learn about pest control, it reminds me of international relations - fraught with unintended consequences and shifting alliances and deals, a place where the enemy of my enemy is my friend and has always been my friend and will always be my friend, until the next shift in the balance of power when it's suddenly the other way around. The whole thing is a delicate dance (...)” International RelationsPest Control Author:Pete Brown

“Every farmer must go to the seed industry every year to buy their seed and pay an 80 percent royalty to a corporation. Over-the-fence exchanges have started to be treated as crimes. Or, if you need a biological pest control, you can no longer use the need seed in your back yard. Instead you have to depend on the Grace Corporation or some other entity. That kind of dependency basically leads to increased poverty and increased ecological destruction.” IfsNeedsYearsKindUsePayPovertyGraceCrimeDependsIndustryPercentDestructionSeedsTreatedCorporationsFarmersEntityYardsFenceRoyaltyEcologicalDependencyPestsPest Control Author:Vandana Shiva
