0:00:00.000,0:00:02.000
I'm a bug lover, myself --

0:00:02.000,0:00:04.000
not from childhood, by the way,

0:00:04.000,0:00:06.000
but rather late.

0:00:06.000,0:00:08.000
When I bachelored,

0:00:08.000,0:00:11.000
majoring in zoology in Tel Aviv University,

0:00:11.000,0:00:13.000
I kind of fell in love with bugs.

0:00:13.000,0:00:15.000
And then, within zoology,

0:00:15.000,0:00:18.000
I took the course or the discipline of entomology,

0:00:18.000,0:00:21.000
the science of insects.

0:00:21.000,0:00:24.000
And then I thought, myself, how can I be practical

0:00:24.000,0:00:27.000
or help in the science of entomology?

0:00:27.000,0:00:30.000
And then I moved to the world of plant protection --

0:00:30.000,0:00:33.000
plant protection from insects,

0:00:33.000,0:00:35.000
from bad bugs.

0:00:35.000,0:00:37.000
And then within plant protection,

0:00:37.000,0:00:39.000
I came into the discipline

0:00:39.000,0:00:41.000
of biological pest control

0:00:41.000,0:00:43.000
which we actually define

0:00:43.000,0:00:46.000
as the use of living organisms

0:00:46.000,0:00:48.000
to reduce populations

0:00:48.000,0:00:51.000
of noxious plant pests.

0:00:51.000,0:00:54.000
So it's a whole discipline in plant protection

0:00:54.000,0:00:57.000
that's aiming at the reduction of chemicals.

0:00:58.000,0:01:00.000
And biological pest control, by the way,

0:01:00.000,0:01:03.000
or these good bugs that we are talking about,

0:01:03.000,0:01:06.000
they've existed in the world for thousands and thousands of years,

0:01:06.000,0:01:08.000
for a long, long time.

0:01:08.000,0:01:11.000
But only in the last 120 years

0:01:11.000,0:01:14.000
people started,

0:01:14.000,0:01:17.000
or people knew more and more how to exploit, or how to use,

0:01:17.000,0:01:20.000
this biological control phenomenon,

0:01:20.000,0:01:23.000
or in fact, natural control phenomenon,

0:01:23.000,0:01:26.000
to their own needs.

0:01:26.000,0:01:28.000
Because biological control phenomenon,

0:01:28.000,0:01:30.000
you can see it in your backyard.

0:01:30.000,0:01:32.000
Just take a magnifying glass. You see what I have here?

0:01:32.000,0:01:34.000
That's a magnifier times 10.

0:01:34.000,0:01:36.000
Yeah, times 10.

0:01:36.000,0:01:38.000
Just open it.

0:01:38.000,0:01:41.000
You just twist leaves, and you see a whole new world

0:01:41.000,0:01:43.000
of minute insects,

0:01:43.000,0:01:46.000
or little spiders of one millimeter, one and a half,

0:01:46.000,0:01:48.000
two millimeters long,

0:01:48.000,0:01:51.000
and you can distinguish between the good ones and the bad ones.

0:01:51.000,0:01:53.000
So this phenomenon of natural control

0:01:53.000,0:01:55.000
exists literally everywhere.

0:01:55.000,0:01:57.000
Here, in front of this building, I'm sure.

0:01:57.000,0:01:59.000
Just have a look at the plants.

0:01:59.000,0:02:01.000
So it's everywhere,

0:02:01.000,0:02:04.000
and we need to know how to exploit it.

0:02:04.000,0:02:06.000
Well let us go hand by hand

0:02:06.000,0:02:09.000
and browse through just a few examples.

0:02:09.000,0:02:11.000
What is a pest?

0:02:11.000,0:02:14.000
What damage [does] it actually inflict on the plant?

0:02:14.000,0:02:16.000
And what is the natural enemy,

0:02:16.000,0:02:18.000
the biologically controlled agent,

0:02:18.000,0:02:20.000
or the good bug, that we are talking about?

0:02:20.000,0:02:22.000
In general, I'm going to talk

0:02:22.000,0:02:25.000
about insects and spiders,

0:02:25.000,0:02:28.000
or mites, let us call them.

0:02:28.000,0:02:30.000
Insects, those six-legged organisms

0:02:30.000,0:02:32.000
and spiders or mites,

0:02:32.000,0:02:34.000
the eight-legged organisms.

0:02:34.000,0:02:36.000
Let's have a look at that.

0:02:36.000,0:02:39.000
Here is a pest, devastating pest, a spider mite,

0:02:39.000,0:02:42.000
because it does a lot of webbing like a spider.

0:02:42.000,0:02:44.000
You see the mother in between

0:02:44.000,0:02:46.000
and two daughters, probably on the left and right,

0:02:46.000,0:02:49.000
and a single egg on the right-hand side.

0:02:49.000,0:02:51.000
And then you see what kind of damage it can inflict.

0:02:51.000,0:02:53.000
On your right-hand side you can see a cucumber leaf,

0:02:53.000,0:02:55.000
and on the middle, cotton leaf,

0:02:55.000,0:02:58.000
and on the left a tomato leaf with these little stipplings.

0:02:58.000,0:03:01.000
They can literally turn from green to white

0:03:01.000,0:03:03.000
because of the sucking, piercing

0:03:03.000,0:03:05.000
mouthparts

0:03:05.000,0:03:07.000
of those spiders.

0:03:07.000,0:03:09.000
But here comes nature

0:03:09.000,0:03:11.000
that provides us with a good spider.

0:03:11.000,0:03:14.000
This is a predatory mite -- just as small as a spider mite, by the way,

0:03:14.000,0:03:17.000
one millimeter, two millimeters long, not more than that,

0:03:17.000,0:03:20.000
running quickly, hunting,

0:03:20.000,0:03:22.000
chasing the spider mites.

0:03:22.000,0:03:24.000
And here you can see this lady in action

0:03:24.000,0:03:26.000
on your left-hand side --

0:03:26.000,0:03:28.000
just pierces, sucks

0:03:28.000,0:03:31.000
the body fluids on the left-hand side of the pest mite.

0:03:31.000,0:03:34.000
And after five minutes, this is what you see:

0:03:34.000,0:03:36.000
just a typical dead corpse,

0:03:36.000,0:03:38.000
shriveled, sucked-out,

0:03:38.000,0:03:40.000
dead corpse of the spider mite,

0:03:40.000,0:03:42.000
and next to it, two satiated individuals

0:03:42.000,0:03:44.000
of predatory mites,

0:03:44.000,0:03:46.000
a mother on the left-hand side,

0:03:46.000,0:03:48.000
a young nymph on the right-hand side.

0:03:48.000,0:03:51.000
By the way, a meal for them for 24 hours

0:03:51.000,0:03:53.000
is about five individuals

0:03:53.000,0:03:56.000
of the spider mites, of the bad mites,

0:03:56.000,0:03:58.000
or 15 to 20 eggs

0:03:58.000,0:04:00.000
of the pest mites.

0:04:00.000,0:04:03.000
By the way, they are hungry always.

0:04:03.000,0:04:05.000
(Laughter)

0:04:05.000,0:04:07.000
And there is another example: aphids.

0:04:07.000,0:04:09.000
By the way, it's springtime now in Israel.

0:04:09.000,0:04:12.000
When temperature rises sharply,

0:04:12.000,0:04:15.000
you can see those bad ones, those aphids, all over the plants,

0:04:15.000,0:04:18.000
in your hibiscus, in your lantana,

0:04:18.000,0:04:20.000
in the young, fresh foliage

0:04:20.000,0:04:22.000
of the spring flush, so-called.

0:04:22.000,0:04:24.000
By the way, with aphids you have only females,

0:04:24.000,0:04:26.000
like Amazons.

0:04:26.000,0:04:29.000
Females giving rise to females giving rise to other females.

0:04:29.000,0:04:31.000
No males at all.

0:04:31.000,0:04:33.000
Parthenogenesis, [as it] was so called.

0:04:33.000,0:04:36.000
And they are very happy with that, apparently.

0:04:36.000,0:04:38.000
Here we can see the damage.

0:04:38.000,0:04:40.000
Those aphids secrete

0:04:40.000,0:04:43.000
some sticky, sugary liquid

0:04:43.000,0:04:45.000
called honeydew,

0:04:45.000,0:04:47.000
and this just globs

0:04:47.000,0:04:49.000
the upper parts of the plant.

0:04:49.000,0:04:51.000
Here you see a typical cucumber leaf

0:04:51.000,0:04:53.000
that turned actually from green to black

0:04:53.000,0:04:55.000
because of a black fungus, sooty mold,

0:04:55.000,0:04:57.000
which is covering it.

0:04:57.000,0:05:00.000
And here comes the salvation

0:05:00.000,0:05:03.000
through this parasitic wasp.

0:05:03.000,0:05:05.000
Here we are not talking about a predator.

0:05:05.000,0:05:07.000
Here we are talking a parasite --

0:05:07.000,0:05:09.000
not a two-legged parasite,

0:05:09.000,0:05:12.000
but an eight-legged parasite, of course.

0:05:12.000,0:05:14.000
This is a parasitic wasp,

0:05:14.000,0:05:16.000
again, two millimeters long, slender,

0:05:16.000,0:05:18.000
a very quick

0:05:18.000,0:05:20.000
and sharp flier.

0:05:20.000,0:05:22.000
And here you can see this parasite in action,

0:05:22.000,0:05:25.000
like in an acrobatic maneuver.

0:05:25.000,0:05:27.000
She stands vis-a-vis

0:05:27.000,0:05:29.000
in front of the victim at the right-hand side,

0:05:29.000,0:05:31.000
bending its abdomen

0:05:31.000,0:05:33.000
and inserting a single egg,

0:05:33.000,0:05:35.000
a single egg into the body fluids

0:05:35.000,0:05:37.000
of the aphid.

0:05:37.000,0:05:40.000
By the way, the aphid tries to escape.

0:05:40.000,0:05:42.000
She kicks and bites

0:05:42.000,0:05:44.000
and secretes different liquids,

0:05:44.000,0:05:46.000
but nothing will happen, in fact.

0:05:46.000,0:05:48.000
Only the egg of the parasite

0:05:48.000,0:05:51.000
will be inserted into the body fluids of the aphid.

0:05:51.000,0:05:54.000
And after a few days, depending upon temperature,

0:05:54.000,0:05:56.000
the egg will hatch

0:05:56.000,0:05:58.000
and the larva of this parasite

0:05:58.000,0:06:01.000
will eat the aphid from the inside.

0:06:01.000,0:06:04.000
This is all natural. This is all natural.

0:06:04.000,0:06:06.000
This is not fiction, nothing at all.

0:06:06.000,0:06:08.000
Again, in your backyard,

0:06:08.000,0:06:11.000
in your backyard.

0:06:11.000,0:06:13.000
But this is the end result.

0:06:13.000,0:06:15.000
This is the end result:

0:06:15.000,0:06:17.000
Mummies --

0:06:17.000,0:06:19.000
M-U-M-M-Y.

0:06:19.000,0:06:22.000
This is the visual result of a dead aphid

0:06:22.000,0:06:24.000
encompassing inside,

0:06:24.000,0:06:27.000
in fact, a developing parasitoid

0:06:27.000,0:06:30.000
that after a few minutes you see halfway out.

0:06:30.000,0:06:32.000
The birth is almost complete.

0:06:32.000,0:06:35.000
You can see, by the way, in different movies, etc.,

0:06:35.000,0:06:37.000
it takes just a few minutes.

0:06:37.000,0:06:40.000
And if this is a female, she'll immediately mate with a male

0:06:40.000,0:06:43.000
and off she goes because time is very short.

0:06:43.000,0:06:46.000
This female can live only three to four days,

0:06:46.000,0:06:48.000
and she needs to give rise

0:06:48.000,0:06:50.000
to around 400 eggs.

0:06:50.000,0:06:53.000
That means she has 400 bad aphids

0:06:53.000,0:06:55.000
to put her eggs

0:06:55.000,0:06:57.000
into their body fluids.

0:06:57.000,0:06:59.000
And this is of course not the end of it.

0:06:59.000,0:07:01.000
There is a whole wealth of other natural enemies

0:07:01.000,0:07:03.000
and this is just the last example.

0:07:03.000,0:07:05.000
Again, we'll start first with the pest:

0:07:05.000,0:07:07.000
the thrips.

0:07:07.000,0:07:09.000
By the way, all these weird names --

0:07:09.000,0:07:12.000
I didn't bother you with the Latin names of these creatures,

0:07:12.000,0:07:14.000
okay, just the popular names.

0:07:14.000,0:07:16.000
But this is a nice, slender,

0:07:16.000,0:07:18.000
very bad pest.

0:07:18.000,0:07:20.000
If you can see this, sweet peppers.

0:07:20.000,0:07:23.000
This is not just an exotic, ornamental sweet pepper.

0:07:23.000,0:07:26.000
This is a sweet pepper which is not consumable

0:07:26.000,0:07:29.000
because it is suffering from a viral disease

0:07:29.000,0:07:32.000
transmitted by those thrip adults.

0:07:32.000,0:07:34.000
And here comes the natural enemy,

0:07:34.000,0:07:36.000
minute pirate bug,

0:07:36.000,0:07:39.000
"minute" because it is rather small.

0:07:39.000,0:07:42.000
Here you can see the adult, black, and two young ones.

0:07:42.000,0:07:44.000
And again, in action.

0:07:44.000,0:07:47.000
This adult pierces the thrips,

0:07:47.000,0:07:49.000
sucking it within just several minutes,

0:07:49.000,0:07:51.000
just going to the other prey,

0:07:51.000,0:07:53.000
continuing all over the place.

0:07:53.000,0:07:57.000
And if we spread those minute pirate bugs, the good ones,

0:07:57.000,0:07:59.000
for example, in a sweet pepper plot,

0:07:59.000,0:08:02.000
they go to the flowers.

0:08:02.000,0:08:04.000
And look, this flower is flooded

0:08:04.000,0:08:07.000
with predatory bugs, with the good ones

0:08:07.000,0:08:10.000
after wiping out the bad ones, the thrips.

0:08:10.000,0:08:13.000
So this is a very positive situation, by the way.

0:08:13.000,0:08:16.000
No harm to the developing fruit. No harm to the fruit set.

0:08:16.000,0:08:19.000
Everything is just fine under these circumstances.

0:08:19.000,0:08:21.000
But again, the question is,

0:08:21.000,0:08:23.000
here you saw them on a one-to-one basis --

0:08:23.000,0:08:26.000
the pest, the natural enemy.

0:08:26.000,0:08:29.000
What we do is actually this.

0:08:29.000,0:08:31.000
In Northeast Israel,

0:08:31.000,0:08:33.000
in Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu,

0:08:33.000,0:08:35.000
there is a facility

0:08:35.000,0:08:37.000
that mass-produces those natural enemies.

0:08:37.000,0:08:39.000
In other words, what we do there,

0:08:39.000,0:08:41.000
we amplify,

0:08:41.000,0:08:44.000
we amplify the natural control,

0:08:44.000,0:08:46.000
or the biological control phenomenon.

0:08:46.000,0:08:49.000
And in 30,000 square meters

0:08:49.000,0:08:51.000
of state-of-the-art greenhouses,

0:08:51.000,0:08:54.000
there, we are mass-producing those predatory mites,

0:08:54.000,0:08:56.000
those minute pirate bugs,

0:08:56.000,0:08:58.000
those parasitic wasps, etc., etc.

0:08:58.000,0:09:00.000
Many different parts.

0:09:00.000,0:09:02.000
By the way, they have a very nice landscape --

0:09:02.000,0:09:05.000
you see the Jordanian Mountains on the one hand

0:09:05.000,0:09:07.000
and the Jordan Valley on the other hand,

0:09:07.000,0:09:09.000
and a good, mild winter

0:09:09.000,0:09:11.000
and a nice, hot summer,

0:09:11.000,0:09:13.000
which is an excellent condition

0:09:13.000,0:09:15.000
to mass-produce those creatures.

0:09:15.000,0:09:17.000
And by the way, mass-production --

0:09:17.000,0:09:19.000
it is not genetic manipulation.

0:09:19.000,0:09:21.000
There are no GMOs --

0:09:21.000,0:09:23.000
Genetically Modified Organisms -- whatsoever.

0:09:23.000,0:09:25.000
We take them from nature,

0:09:25.000,0:09:27.000
and the only thing that we do,

0:09:27.000,0:09:29.000
we give them the optimal conditions,

0:09:29.000,0:09:32.000
under the greenhouses or in the climate rooms,

0:09:32.000,0:09:34.000
in order to proliferate,

0:09:34.000,0:09:36.000
multiply and reproduce.

0:09:36.000,0:09:38.000
And that's what we get, in fact.

0:09:38.000,0:09:40.000
You see under a microscope.

0:09:40.000,0:09:43.000
You see in the upper left corner, you see a single predatory mite.

0:09:43.000,0:09:46.000
And this is the whole bunch of predatory mites.

0:09:46.000,0:09:49.000
You see this ampoule. You see this one.

0:09:49.000,0:09:52.000
I have one gram of those predatory mites.

0:09:52.000,0:09:55.000
One gram's 80,000 individuals,

0:09:55.000,0:09:58.000
80,000 individuals

0:09:58.000,0:10:00.000
are good enough

0:10:00.000,0:10:03.000
to control one acre, 4,000 square meters,

0:10:03.000,0:10:05.000
of a strawberry plot

0:10:05.000,0:10:08.000
against spider mites for the whole season

0:10:08.000,0:10:11.000
of almost one year.

0:10:11.000,0:10:14.000
And we can produce from this, believe you me,

0:10:14.000,0:10:16.000
several dozens of kilograms

0:10:16.000,0:10:19.000
on an annual basis.

0:10:19.000,0:10:21.000
So this is what I call

0:10:21.000,0:10:23.000
amplification of the phenomenon.

0:10:23.000,0:10:26.000
And no, we do not disrupt the balance.

0:10:26.000,0:10:28.000
On the contrary,

0:10:28.000,0:10:31.000
because we bring it to every cultural plot

0:10:31.000,0:10:33.000
where the balance was already disrupted

0:10:33.000,0:10:35.000
by the chemicals.

0:10:35.000,0:10:37.000
Here we come with those natural enemies

0:10:37.000,0:10:40.000
in order to reverse a little bit of the wheel

0:10:40.000,0:10:42.000
and to bring more natural balance

0:10:42.000,0:10:45.000
to the agricultural plot by reducing those chemicals.

0:10:45.000,0:10:47.000
That's the whole idea.

0:10:47.000,0:10:49.000
And what is the impact?

0:10:49.000,0:10:52.000
In this table, you can actually see what is an impact

0:10:52.000,0:10:54.000
of a successful biological control

0:10:54.000,0:10:56.000
by good bugs.

0:10:56.000,0:10:58.000
For example, in Israel,

0:10:58.000,0:11:00.000
where we employ

0:11:00.000,0:11:03.000
more than 1,000 hectares --

0:11:03.000,0:11:05.000
10,000 dunams in Israeli terms --

0:11:05.000,0:11:08.000
of biological pest controlling sweet pepper

0:11:08.000,0:11:10.000
under protection,

0:11:10.000,0:11:12.000
75 percent of the pesticides

0:11:12.000,0:11:14.000
were actually reduced.

0:11:14.000,0:11:16.000
And Israeli strawberries, even more --

0:11:16.000,0:11:18.000
80 percent of the pesticides,

0:11:18.000,0:11:22.000
especially those aimed against pest mites in strawberries.

0:11:22.000,0:11:25.000
So the impact is very strong.

0:11:25.000,0:11:28.000
And there goes the question,

0:11:28.000,0:11:31.000
especially if you ask growers, agriculturists:

0:11:31.000,0:11:33.000
Why biological control?

0:11:33.000,0:11:35.000
Why good bugs?

0:11:35.000,0:11:37.000
By the way, the number of answers you get

0:11:37.000,0:11:40.000
equals the number of people you ask.

0:11:41.000,0:11:43.000
But if we go, for example, to this place,

0:11:43.000,0:11:45.000
Southeast Israel,

0:11:45.000,0:11:48.000
the Arava area above the Great Rift Valley,

0:11:48.000,0:11:50.000
where the really top-notch --

0:11:50.000,0:11:52.000
the pearl of the Israeli agriculture

0:11:52.000,0:11:54.000
is located,

0:11:54.000,0:11:57.000
especially under greenhouse conditions, or under screenhouse conditions --

0:11:57.000,0:12:00.000
if you drive all the way to Eilat, you see this

0:12:00.000,0:12:02.000
just in the middle of the desert.

0:12:02.000,0:12:04.000
And if you zoom in,

0:12:04.000,0:12:06.000
you can definitely watch this,

0:12:06.000,0:12:08.000
grandparents with their grandchildren,

0:12:08.000,0:12:11.000
distributing the natural enemies, the good bugs,

0:12:11.000,0:12:13.000
instead of wearing special clothes

0:12:13.000,0:12:16.000
and gas masks and applying chemicals.

0:12:16.000,0:12:19.000
So safety, with respect to the application,

0:12:19.000,0:12:22.000
this is the number one answer that we get from growers,

0:12:22.000,0:12:25.000
why biological control.

0:12:25.000,0:12:27.000
Number two, many growers

0:12:27.000,0:12:29.000
are in fact petrified

0:12:29.000,0:12:32.000
from the idea of resistance,

0:12:32.000,0:12:35.000
that the pests will become resistant

0:12:35.000,0:12:37.000
to the chemicals,

0:12:37.000,0:12:39.000
just in our case that bacteria

0:12:39.000,0:12:41.000
becomes resistant to antibiotics.

0:12:41.000,0:12:44.000
It's the same, and it can happen very quickly.

0:12:45.000,0:12:47.000
Fortunately, in either biological control

0:12:47.000,0:12:49.000
or even natural control,

0:12:49.000,0:12:52.000
resistance is extremely rare.

0:12:52.000,0:12:54.000
It hardly happens.

0:12:54.000,0:12:56.000
Because this is evolution,

0:12:56.000,0:12:58.000
this is the natural ratio,

0:12:58.000,0:13:00.000
unlike resistance,

0:13:00.000,0:13:02.000
which happens in the case of chemicals.

0:13:02.000,0:13:05.000
And thirdly, public demand.

0:13:05.000,0:13:08.000
Public demand -- the more the public

0:13:08.000,0:13:10.000
demands the reduction of chemicals,

0:13:10.000,0:13:13.000
the more growers become aware of the fact

0:13:13.000,0:13:16.000
they should, wherever they can and wherever possible,

0:13:16.000,0:13:18.000
replace the chemical control

0:13:18.000,0:13:20.000
with biological control.

0:13:20.000,0:13:22.000
Even here, there is another grower,

0:13:22.000,0:13:24.000
you see, very interested in the bugs,

0:13:24.000,0:13:26.000
the bad ones and the good ones,

0:13:26.000,0:13:28.000
wearing this magnifier already on her head,

0:13:28.000,0:13:30.000
just walking safely

0:13:30.000,0:13:32.000
in her crop.

0:13:32.000,0:13:35.000
Finally, I want to get actually to my vision,

0:13:35.000,0:13:37.000
or in fact, to my dream.

0:13:37.000,0:13:39.000
Because, you see, this is the reality.

0:13:39.000,0:13:41.000
Have a look at the gap.

0:13:41.000,0:13:43.000
If we take the overall turnover

0:13:43.000,0:13:45.000
of the biocontrol industry worldwide,

0:13:45.000,0:13:48.000
it's 250 million dollars.

0:13:48.000,0:13:51.000
And look at the overall pesticide industry

0:13:51.000,0:13:54.000
in all the crops throughout the world.

0:13:54.000,0:13:57.000
I think it's times 100 or something like that.

0:13:57.000,0:13:59.000
Twenty-five billion.

0:13:59.000,0:14:02.000
So there is a huge gap to bridge.

0:14:02.000,0:14:04.000
So actually, how can we do it?

0:14:04.000,0:14:07.000
How can we bridge, or let's say, narrow, this gap

0:14:07.000,0:14:09.000
in the course of the years?

0:14:09.000,0:14:12.000
First of all, we need to find more robust,

0:14:12.000,0:14:15.000
good and reliable biological solutions,

0:14:15.000,0:14:17.000
more good bugs

0:14:17.000,0:14:20.000
that we can either mass-produce

0:14:20.000,0:14:23.000
or actually conserve in the field.

0:14:23.000,0:14:25.000
Secondly, to create even more

0:14:25.000,0:14:27.000
intensive and strict public demand

0:14:27.000,0:14:29.000
to reduction of chemicals

0:14:29.000,0:14:32.000
in the agricultural fresh produce.

0:14:32.000,0:14:35.000
And thirdly, also to increase awareness by the growers

0:14:35.000,0:14:38.000
to the potential of this industry.

0:14:38.000,0:14:40.000
And this gap really narrows.

0:14:40.000,0:14:43.000
Step by step, it does narrow.

0:14:44.000,0:14:46.000
So I think my last slide is:

0:14:46.000,0:14:49.000
All we are saying, we can actually sing it:

0:14:49.000,0:14:51.000
Give nature a chance.

0:14:51.000,0:14:53.000
So I'm saying it on behalf of all the biocontrol

0:14:53.000,0:14:55.000
petitioners and implementers,

0:14:55.000,0:14:57.000
in Israel and abroad,

0:14:57.000,0:14:59.000
really give nature a chance.

0:14:59.000,0:15:01.000
Thank you.

0:15:01.000,0:15:03.000
(Applause)
