The voracious hordes of beetles will die of starvation.
Scientists from Siberia, with the support of the Russian Science Foundation, have created an effective means of protecting plants from a common pest.
Professor Ivan Dubovsky spoke in more detail about the drug’s features on the MIR 24 TV channel.
Russian scientists have developed a biological insecticide. It is many times more effective than chemical analogues, to which beetles quickly "get used".
The preparation is based on the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis. The product is "configured" to destroy the digestive system of pests.
In fact, Colorado beetles die of hunger after using this drug.
Scientists have made the product harm only beetles. This preparation is harmless to humans and animals.
Dubovsky said that the new drug will go on sale by the summer of 2025.
