Study suggests natural predators reduce pest populations by 70% and increase yields by 25%, offering a viable alternative to pesticides.

Natural predators like birds, beetles, and bugs could be an effective alternative to pesticides, reducing pest populations by over 70% and increasing crop yields by 25%, according to a study by researchers in Brazil, the US, and the Czech Republic. The study analyzed past research on predator pest control, suggesting that natural predators play a crucial role in pest control and should be maintained for future climate challenges.
