While writing my first post my mind is still wondering where to go…
It might happen that the first days it might pop from one theme to another….But for now, I will focus on the reason why I enrolled in this adventure: Biological Control!… In plants and trees…
Biological control is something not very widely used yet in our culture but that I think is fascinating and it could make a big difference in our lives.
It is mainly used only in ecologic agriculture and it is using insects to eliminate plagues from trees and plants. Is finding insects that are predators for a specific plague and use them to eliminate it! Once they have eaten the plague…no more food, so they disappear too.
Thinking about it, it would be something like having a house full of mice and taking a couple of cats to do the whole job of cleaning!…without having to use any pesticides, isn’t that cool?
Right now I have all my geraniums outside in the terrace full of plant louse… and I wonder which little insect would like to enjoy getting read of them!
Need to do some research about that…
