Non-toxic, n o-hazardous and eco-friendly rodent and termite repellent

MUMBAI, India - Oct. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Stink bugs!!!!!

Agriculture was the key to development in the rise of moving human civilization. In the developed world, industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture has become the dominant system of modern farming, although there is growing support for sustainable agriculture, including permaculture and organic agriculture. But agriculture has to face new challenges everyday in form of pests and insects. One of the problematical insect in agriculture are Stink bug.

Bugs are present everywhere most of them are destructive in one or other ways. Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), or the stink bug, belongs to the family Pentatomidae. They are considered as agricultural pest. Stink bugs are so named because they secrete a foul-smelling liquid that is repulsive to most predators. They are mostly found in Taiwan, Korea, and United State, Asia.

They cause widespread damage to fruit and vegetable crops. In Japan they mostly damage soybean and fruit crops. In U.S., these bugs feed, beginning in May or early June, on a wide range of fruits, vegetable, and other host plants including peaches, apples, green beans, soybeans, cherries, raspberries and pears.

“The crop damage estimated in USA exceeds $21billion” said United State department of agriculture (USDA).

In Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia one of the industries has reported $37million damage in apple growers. Growers in mid-Atlantic region also reported to have worst problems with about 18 percent of crop being ruined.

Many insecticides are being used to control stink bugs which include chemicals likeazadirachtin and pyrethrins(i.e. deltamethrin, cyfluthrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, sumithrin or tralomethrin) after the approval from EPA as least toxic chemicals to control bugs. But the most noticeable point is that when you spray crops with completely legal and viable insecticides you can kill the stink bug for that instant but the problem is they will be killed that day but after few days you will be faced with  another group of stink bugs which have migrated from outside. They will in turn spoil the quality of food or fruit. So the use of conventional insecticides cannot be a proper solution to this problem.

It being an agricultural application, measures taken to protect food should not contain toxic product by any means as it will be more harmful and lead to many other problems. So the protection should be non-toxic, non-hazardous and eco-friendly.

C Tech Corporation caters to this problem with its niche product Termirepel®™ which is non-toxic, non-hazardous and environmental friendly termite aversive which also repels 500 species of insects. Its life span is 25-40 years depending on the end application. It can be easily incorporated in agricultural tubing and hosing, drip irrigation, agricultural films, tarps, mulches. As it does not leach out from the application it does not contaminate ground water and soil.
