在今后十年,美国政府将以提高农业生产作为国家在世界上的经济和政治力量的主要源泉。美国国家科学委员会现在提出警告:将来的农业生产可能会受到害虫化学防治技术失败的威胁,而使世界上的粮食供应不足。 以斯坦福大学生物学教授唐纳德·肯尼迪为主席的国家科学委员会在1972年2月5日发出的报告(以下简称报告)中指出,有三件新东西正在向害虫化学防治技术进行挑战。 In the next decade, the U.S. government will make major efforts to raise agricultural production as the country’s economic and political power in the world. The National Science Council now warns that future agricultural production may be threatened by the failure of chemical pest management techniques to under supply the world’s food supply. In a report issued on 5 February 1972 (hereinafter referred to as the report) by the National Science Council chaired by Donald Kennedy, a professor of biology at Stanford University, three new things are being challenged to pest chemical control technologies.
