"Ahem......" Minister Sa listened to the dispute between the two, and his expression was slightly embarrassed:

"Dean Ebo, now is not the time to discuss the cause of the insect plague, now we have to solve this insect plague first, what do you think?"

Dean Ebo glared at Quinn fiercely:

"I don't have any ideas, I just want to express an attitude, I think it's better to wait until the climate gets colder, let the insect plague subside on its own, and absolutely not in order to eradicate this insect plague, people should take the opportunity to sell more powerful and toxic pesticides, spray the affected farmland! ”

Minister Sa was speechless: "This preliminary estimate is that the corn yield of the three Ohio continents will be reduced by 80 percent...... No one can afford this loss. ”

"But if the more violent insecticide DDT is used, this pesticide has not yet been reviewed, and at the same time, it will show that the pesticide content in corn exceeds the standard, which will also affect exports." ”

Minister Sa could still speak, and Quinn said in a deep voice: "Dean Ebo, I am afraid you don't understand the situation, the standards of international grain exports can be adjusted, and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture can handle it flexibly and temporarily pass the review of DDT." ”

As soon as he said this, Dean Ebo just wanted to scold, but when he heard Minister Sa, he nodded:

"This one does work. ”

Everyone in the Agricultural College gasped, what is this!? How can the Federal Ministry of Agriculture do this?

But soon, they came up with a key one.

Next year is an election year, and Minister Sa is the official appointed by the current federal president, and if there is such a big agricultural accident this year, not only the Ministry of Agriculture will be responsible, but even the president's performance will be affected.

If the incumbent president is not re-elected next year and the candidates of the opposition parties come to power, it will undoubtedly liquidate the responsibilities of their predecessors, and it will be a catastrophe for Minister Sa.

On the contrary, as long as the situation can be stabilized now, even if there are some food security problems on exports, they can make up for it at the government level next year......

Thinking of this, Dean Ebo felt a chill in his back, and he found that whether it was politicians or businessmen, caring about their own interests far outweighed the physical harm of ordinary people.

Dean Ebo said urgently: "Minister Sa, I still have a way to kill this cotton scale, our agricultural college has been studying traditional Chinese medicine to kill insects recently, and it is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that wormwood can kill insects by burning......

Another professor also explained:

"As long as we dig a ditch in the corn field and burn wormwood by smoking, we will definitely kill a considerable part of the cotton scales. ”

Su Huai was stunned on the spot when he heard this, he didn't expect that Dean Ebo had secretly started to study traditional Chinese medicine for insecticide, and he also knew that wormwood burning smoke could kill insects......

No wonder, he said why Dean Ebo had to let him come, it turned out that he was an expert in "traditional Chinese medicine" to be a commentator.

However, although this wormwood can kill insects, it is so urgent now, and there are only 2 months left before the corn matures, where can you find so much dried wormwood......

Could it be that the agricultural college grows its own crops? But that's certainly not enough.

Minister Sa sensed Dean Ebo's thoughts, and also coughed dryly, and sighed:

"Dean Ebo, it's not that I don't want to find a way to get the best of both worlds, in fact, as long as you have a way to reduce the loss of harvest without pesticides, even if you can ensure that the corn yield is guaranteed to be 70% in previous years, I can accept it......"

Dean Ebo's face changed suddenly, they don't have that much dried wormwood to use to repel insects, it is okay to reduce some of the insect infestation, but it is necessary to protect 70% of the corn...... It's impossible.

Dean Ebo couldn't help but look at the professors of the College of Agriculture standing next to him, hoping that they would come up with some good ideas.

However, although everyone present is an expert in organic agriculture, and there are many ways to reduce insect infestation, such as isolation, manual capture, and digging ditches to kill insect eggs, but if you don't use strong pesticides, there is little hope of saving such a tragic insect infestation.

"In that case...... So we decided to do that, the way Quinn did...... Let's use a new DDT pesticide. ”

Before Minister Sa could finish speaking, he heard a man say:

"I have a way to give it a try. ”

Everyone looked back in surprise, thinking that Dean Ebo had no choice but to speak.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Su Huai who spoke, and even Professor Tian, who was standing next to him, was startled, thinking that Su Huai couldn't even distinguish the types of scale insects just now, how could he dare to speak.

"Oh, is there a method in Mr. Su's "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration"?" Minister Sa frowned, thinking that Su Huai had been ugly a few times just now, and that round of methods, even if he wanted to use it, it would be too late......

"I heard that the ancient Chinese people, in the face of insect pests, there is a way to treat insects, that is, to find a kind of big red ladybug, or Australian ladybug, these two ladybugs are mainly predatory and blow cotton scales, and in the stocking crops, they can play a good role in the control effect. Su Huai explained that this was something he read in a junior high school textbook.

He wasn't sure, but since there was no good way, it didn't hurt to try.

But as soon as he said this, everyone in the audience looked at him with strange eyes.

"Is there any problem?" Su Huai wondered.

Dean Ebo was also full of helplessness, and hurriedly explained for Su Huai on the side:

"I'm sorry, Minister Sa, Mr. Su's ancient Chinese books record knowledge before the catastrophe, and he doesn't know that this ladybug has all been extinct due to the catastrophe climate variation......"

What the?

Ladybugs are extinct?

Su Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Quinn looked at him as if he was watching a joke.

But at this time, Su Huai suddenly asked, "What about yellow ants? Are there many yellow ants in New Europe now?"

Minister Sa was also a little speechless, and frowned again and again: "Could it be that in the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", it is not only recorded that these two kinds of ladybugs can control the blowing cotton scale, but also this yellow lynx ant can be controlled?"

The theory of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine attacking poison with poison is already incredible enough, and now Su Huai has proposed to treat insects with insects......

The words are becoming more and more mysterious, making people feel that he is completely talking nonsense, and there is already a taste of doubt in Minister Sa's words.

But Su Huai didn't seem to feel it, but nodded very seriously:

"Its practical ladybug control and blowing cotton scale is recorded in the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", but this yellow lynx ant is the knowledge in other books.

"Southern Grass and Trees" records that in the Jin Dynasty, in the citrus circle in South China, people used yellow ants to control this kind of cotton scale, and the yellow ants were red and yellow in color, and their body shape was slightly larger than that of ordinary ants.

'Southern citrus round, if there is no such ant, it is all injured by the group of scales, and there is no one who finishes it.

The Book of Planting Trees also says, "The citrus tree is eaten by insects, and if you take the ant nest on it, the insects will go away." ’……”

After Su Huai finished speaking, everyone looked at him with absurd eyes, and Dean Ebo said with some embarrassment:

"Mr. Su, this yellow ant has changed its habits because of the catastrophe, not only living in the subtropics, but also in the latitude and longitude of New Europe, but it is listed as one of the pests...... It's just that are you sure he's going to be useful for blowing cottonscales?"

"I'm not sure. Su Huai shook his head and said:

"This is just the knowledge in the ancient books of China, I only know, it is also recorded in the ancient books, at that time, there were people in Huaxia who specially gave orange balls and sold this kind of yellow lynx ants at a high price, as for whether it is effective for the mutated cotton scales of the current era, if you don't experiment, I'm afraid no one knows. ”
