So a lot of the organic pesticides, because they're not legally permitted to be tweaked in order to improve the specificity, improve the stability, reduce the off-target effect, they actually are worse for the farmers because they have to use more of it to have the same desired effect. They're often worse for the environment because they'll target non-target species.
So, for example, there are certain fungicides that are used in organic farming that are designed to... Sorry, certain insecticides that are used in organic farming to, say, target aphids on soybean crops. But they also kill the natural predators of aphids, the insidious flower bug and the Asian lady beetle. So now you're...

was die Aphiden normalerweise töten würde, anstatt vielleicht einige der Aphiden zu töten. Nun, eine synthetische Version oder eine konventionelle Version davon hat Spezifizität gesteigert, also töte es nicht den Insidious Flower Bug, aber es töte die Aphiden.

Darüber hinaus, einfach weil ein Chemikal natural ist, gegen ein Chemikal, das synthetisch geändert wird, bedeutet das nicht, dass es besser, sicherer ist. less impactful to the environment, less ecologically damaging, healthier. In fact, decades of data have studied health impacts from organic consumption versus conventional consumption.

There's no health benefit, there's no nutritional advantage. A lot of people cherry pick a study where they look at trace levels of certain micronutrients like phosphorus and so on. That's not necessarily a reflection on organic versus conventional. It's usually... the soil or the ecosystem that it actually was growing in, right?

Because they'll pull fields in Kansas or they'll pull fields from Europe and they'll try to compare the two. And those are not comparable sites, right? You have to compare within a region that has similar soil. So when you actually look at some of the data for organic pesticides versus conventional pesticides, there are a lot that are actually worse. So for example, um, Ailey lebt in New Jersey.

Blueberry-Farming ist groß in New Jersey. Und in Blueberry-Farming gibt es viele verschiedene Mildews und Fungi, die Blueberry-Pflanzen töten. Es gibt etwas, was Mami-Berry heißt. Es gibt etwas, was Anthracnose heißt. Und wenn wir die Beeren-Kraft retten wollen, müssen wir diese Beeren So.

Dieser Koppersulfat hat eine LD50, also eine 50 Prozent lethal Dose von 300 Milligramm pro Kilogramm per Körpergewicht, richtig? Also eine niedrigere lethal Dose bedeutet, dass das Ding an einer kleineren Dose toxisch ist, richtig? Der Koppersulfat muss bis zu sechs Mal während der Erwärmungssaison zu Berry-Fields verwendet werden.
