A New Pesticide in India
In two states in India, Andhra Pradesh and Chattisgarh, farmers have discovered a new kind of pesticide. Instead of paying large sums of money to international chemical companies for chemical pesticides, they are spraying their cotton and chili pepper fields with Coca-Cola. In the past month there have been reports of hundreds of farmers spraying cola on their fields. Thousands of others are expected to make the switch2 to cola from the usual pesticides as word spreads about the new spray. A farmer in Andhra Pradesh interviewed by a local newspaper said he was very satisfied with his new cola spray, which he applied this year to several acres of cotton. He observed that the insects on his cotton plants began to die soon after he sprayed his fields with cola. Local agriculture officials would not comment on this new development, except to note that the cola spray cost considerably less than the pesticides produced by Montsanto, Shell and Dow Chemical. The Coca-Cola Company already is in legal difficulties in Andhra Pradesh state, where it has been accused of taking water away from farmers for its bottling plants. So far, representatives of the Coca-Cola Company have refused to comment on the new use of their product. It is not known if or how sales of the soft drinks have been affected, though it is likely that the company may try to profit from this new market.
