On the flip side, “synthetic pesticides” seem to be losing some of their luster. They take longer to approve and have a shorter operating window once approved because of selective pressure. Biologics may allow more rapid development given favorable treatment by EPA. (Source: Creative Destruction, Carter Williams)
