 <div class="ikas-editor-v1">
 Synthetic pesticides used in agriculture worldwide—insecticides, herbicides, organophosphates—pose serious threats to soil health, ecosystems, and human health. In regions where pesticide use is widespread, the soil microbiome deteriorates, insect populations and insect-dependent species decline, water resources become polluted, and ultimately agricultural products may contain pesticide residues. For this reason, not only production methods but also pre-export pesticide testing—pesticide residue analysis / residue testing / pesticide screening—has become increasingly common. This approach helps protect environmental sustainability, food safety, and consumer health at the same time. <h2>A Warning from Germany: A Company That Produced Insect Poisons Became Insect-Friendly</h2> A report published by DW presents a striking example of this transformation. Reckhaus, a company that produced insecticides for many years, made a radical decision: instead of continuing with chemical sprays, it adopted a vision of “protecting insects rather than killing them.” <h2>The Origin of the Transformation: A Fly Trap and a Moment of Questioning</h2> When Reckhaus planned to launch a new fly trap and collaborate with artists for its promotion, the artists refused, saying:
“Killing insects no longer fits the spirit of our time.” This rejection triggered a deep internal reflection for the company’s owner. As a result of this process, the company: <ul><li>Began viewing flies and other insects not as “pests,” but as living beings worthy of protection.
</li><li>Introduced a new quality label on its products called “Insect-Respect,” representing insect-friendly production, storage, and non-lethal control principles.
</li><li>Gradually reduced chemical insecticides and developed non-lethal alternatives that capture insects alive instead of killing them.
</li></ul> The founder of Reckhaus openly admits: “Over the last ten years, I lost 30% of my turnover and more than 80% of my profit.
But what I earn today is still enough for me to live a good life.” This transformation demonstrates that markets can change from within—not only through consumer pressure, but also through the ethical will of producers and industrial leaders. <h2>This Transformation Is Not Alone: Inspiring Stories from Around the World</h2><h3>1. Japan – From Chemically Dependent Rice Fields to “Aquatic Insect Farms”</h3> In Japan, some rice farmers have established systems that encourage rice paddies to function as natural wetlands filled with insects. After abandoning pesticide use: <ul><li>Aquatic insects that had disappeared for years returned,
</li><li>The ecosystem began regulating pests naturally,
</li><li>Rice became a premium organic product.
</li></ul><h3>2. Italy – Apple Growers’ Collective Shift to Biological Pest Control</h3> In South Tyrol, apple producers made a collective decision in response to strict EU pesticide regulations: <ul><li>Reduced synthetic insecticides by 70%,
</li><li>Adopted pheromone traps and beneficial insect release systems.
</li></ul> Today, the region is one of Europe’s cleanest and most highly certified fruit production centers. <h3>3. United States – From Chemical Pest Control to Biotechnical Solutions in Poultry Farms</h3> Large-scale poultry farms in the U.S. have abandoned chemical insecticides and now use: <ul><li>Natural predator insects for mite control,
</li><li>Organic sulfur,
</li><li>Plant-based repellents.
</li></ul><h2>The Common Ground of the Transformation: Awareness, Courage, and Science</h2> These stories share several key elements: <ul><li>Acknowledgment of harm: Pesticides impose a heavy burden on soil, water, and insect populations.
</li><li>Facing ecological reality: Agriculture and ecosystems cannot exist without insects.
</li><li>Courage to take risks: Revenues may drop and profits may shrink—but long-term gains are greater.
</li><li>New market reality: Consumers increasingly demand clean food, low pesticide use, and ethical production.
</li><li>Sustainable business models: Nature-based production may be challenging at first, but it is economically meaningful in the long run.
</li></ul><h2>What Should Be Done? — Pesticide Testing, Agroecology, and Responsibility</h2><ul><li>Mandatory Pesticide Testing &amp; Residue Analysis: Pesticide residue analyses should be conducted throughout the entire chain—from production to export.
</li><li>Biological Control &amp; Nature-Friendly Methods: Move away from chemical insecticides and prioritize natural enemies, soil health, and ecosystem balance.
</li><li>Transparency &amp; Traceability: Producers and importers should inform consumers through quality labels and analysis reports.
</li><li>Consumer Demand &amp; Conscious Choice: Preference for “pesticide-free / low-residue / organic / insect-friendly” products should increase.
</li><li>Sector-Wide Transformation / Change from Within: Responsibility must be shared by all actors—not only farmers, but also the chemical industry, packaging, retail chains, and distributors.
</li></ul><h2>The World Is Moving Away from Pesticides — This Is Not Slow, It Is a Real Trend</h2> Companies like Reckhaus, rice farmers in Japan, apple producers in Italy, organic livestock initiatives in the United States… All point to the same conclusion: Poison-based agriculture is reaching the end of its lifespan. In its place, a model is emerging that works in harmony with nature, protects insects instead of destroying them, and removes synthetic pesticides from the center of agriculture. This transformation is not yet complete—but its direction is unmistakably clear: A farming system that respects soil, insects, water, and life itself is being built. Whether you are a company, a farmer, or a consumer, these stories remind us of one fundamental truth: Those who cooperate with nature—not those who fight it—are the ones who win. <h2>References</h2><ul><li>DW — <a href="https://www.dw.com/tr/bir-zehir-%C3%BCreticisi-nas%C4%B1l-b%C3%B6cek-koruyucusuna-d%C3%B6n%C3%BC%C5%9Ft%C3%BC/a-74944699">“How a Poison Producer Became an Insect Protector?” Insa Wrede, 29.11.2025

 <div class="ikas-editor-v1">
 In agriculture, pests (insects, weeds, fungal and bacterial diseases) can cause significant losses in crop yields. Modern agriculture has traditionally relied on intensive use of chemical pesticides to address these problems. However, the negative impacts of pesticides, such as environmental pollution, biodiversity loss, risks to human health, and the development of resistance, have necessitated the search for a more sustainable approach. Modern research, informed by knowledge derived from nature and long-term approaches, has made significant progress over the decades toward developing solutions. In this regard, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a system that can directly replace pesticides, stands out as a method offering ecologically based, long-term solutions. <h2>Definition and Fundamental Principles of IPM</h2> Integrated Pest Management is a strategy that utilizes a balanced combination of biological, cultural, physical, mechanical, and chemical methods to keep pests below the economic damage threshold. It is a preventative approach that can be integrated with industrial agriculture. The fundamental principles are as follows: Prevention: Taking measures to prevent the emergence or spread of pests (hygiene, use of resistant varieties, crop rotation). Monitoring and Tracing: Regularly monitoring pest density and spread. Economic Damage Threshold: Making intervention decisions before pest density reaches the economic damage level. Least-Risk Method Selection: Priority is given to biological and cultural methods, while chemical applications are used as a last resort and in a targeted manner. Resistance Management: Method diversity is ensured to prevent the development of pesticide resistance. <h2>Current Concepts and Ecological Perspectives</h2> In recent years, a number of new approaches have emerged in Integrated Pest Management practices aimed at increasing ecological sustainability and effectiveness. Biodiversity-based management is based on the protection of beneficial organisms, such as predators and parasitoids, that naturally suppress pest populations. Supporting ecosystem services, however, encompasses not only pest control but also the enhancement of critical natural processes for sustainable agricultural production, such as pollination and soil health. Precision agriculture technologies, using drones, sensors, imaging systems, and artificial intelligence, enable early detection of pests and implement interventions only in necessary areas. In addition, the use of biopesticides allows pests to be targeted with naturally occurring agents such as plant extracts, pheromones, beneficial fungi, and bacteria, thus reducing environmental burden. Climate change adaptation strategies assess the impact of changing temperature, humidity, and precipitation conditions on pest spread and enable management plans to be updated accordingly. The ecological perspective of IPM is based on the principle of preserving the natural balance of agricultural ecosystems and not disrupting pest-predator relationships. A key element of this approach is the protection of natural enemies, as excessive chemical interventions can exacerbate pest problems in the long term by eliminating beneficial insects that suppress pests. Maintaining ecosystem balance is achieved through increasing plant diversity and protecting habitats, which naturally limit the spread of pests. Supporting soil health is possible by strengthening plants' natural defenses against pests through soils rich in organic matter and high biological activity. Furthermore, reducing chemical loads improves water, soil, and air quality, significantly reducing the negative impact of agriculture on the environment. <h2>Application Examples</h2> Pheromone Traps Pheromone traps work by synthetically producing and placing species-specific chemical signals (sex pheromones) that influence insect mating behavior into traps. Males are attracted to these odors and trapped in the trap. This method is used for two primary purposes: monitoring and mass trapping. In monitoring applications, data obtained from the traps is used to determine pest population density and the timing of infestation, allowing chemical control to be applied only when necessary and at the right time. Mass trapping, on the other hand, directly reduces pest numbers by reducing the population's mating potential. For example, wide-area applications of trimedlure pheromone traps to control the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) have resulted in significant yield increases in citrus and apricot orchards. Crop Rotation In monoculture farming, consistently growing the same crop in the same field leads to increased populations of certain pests and disease agents. Crop rotation interrupts the pest life cycle and reduces population pressure by allowing different crop groups to be planted sequentially in different years. For example, replacing corn acreage with legumes the following season significantly reduces the population of specific pests such as the corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera). Natural Enemy Release Beneficial insects are released for biological pest control in greenhouses and open fields. For example, the use of the parasitoid wasp Encarsia formosa against the greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) significantly reduces the need for chemical pesticides. This method is particularly preferred in organic production. Biotechnical Methods Light traps attract and trap night-active pests with specific wavelengths of light. Sticky sheets, on the other hand, neutralize pests by adhering to their surface. For example, blue sticky traps are particularly effective in monitoring and controlling the population of thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis). These methods are used for monitoring purposes as well as directly reducing pest populations. Leaf Analysis and Precision Irrigation Nutritional status of plants is determined through leaf analysis, and deficiencies are corrected to increase the plant's resistance to pests. Precision irrigation allows for controlled watering based on soil moisture levels, preventing diseases such as root rot that can occur due to overwatering. For example, sensor-assisted drip irrigation systems both conserve water and promote healthy plant growth. <h2>Conclusion and Future Perspectives</h2> Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is not just an agricultural technique; it is also a fundamental cornerstone of sustainable food production and food security. This approach minimizes the use of chemical pesticides, reducing potential risks to both the environment and human health. Uncontrolled or intensive use of pesticides can increase residue levels in agricultural products, posing potential threats to the food chain. Therefore, IPM reduces dependence on pesticides in agricultural production and enables more effective management of applied pesticide testing protocols. In the future, with the expansion of precision agriculture technologies, biotechnology innovations, and farmer training programs, IPM is expected to be implemented more widely. These developments will not only generate economic benefits for producers but also ensure society's access to safe and healthy food by preserving the ecological balance. This will simultaneously support the goals of agricultural productivity, environmental sustainability, and food security. References: Türk, M., &amp; Kılıç, M. (2020).

 The fight against insects, fungi, bacteria, and competing weeds that cause crop loss and quality decline in agriculture has been carried out since ancient times using various agricultural methods and pesticide recipes. While chemical pesticides dominate food production in large-scale industrial agriculture, ancestral methods are still used effectively in boutique production. In this article, we will examine natural pesticide recipes and their uses. <h2>Natural Pesticide Recipes</h2> Garlic Spray (Insecticide and Bactericide) Garlic is a natural insect repellent and antibiotic. Applying a garlic spray to the plant is particularly effective against aphids, whiteflies, and caterpillars. Preparation: Mix 2 whole garlic cloves with 1 liter (4 cups) of water and soak them in a closed container overnight. After straining, mix with 1 tablespoon of natural liquid soap—never use detergent; use a glycerin- and lye-based natural soap. Pour into a spray bottle and spray on the plant's leaves morning and evening. Hot Pepper Spray (Insecticide) Hot pepper is also a natural insect repellent. It is especially effective against mites, aphids, ants, and mealybugs. Preparation: Mix 1 tablespoon of ground dried cayenne pepper (or 3 fresh chilies) with 1 liter of water. Add 1 teaspoon of natural liquid soap. Pour into a spray bottle, shake well, and apply immediately. You can spray it on plant leaves and fruits. However, do not use it on the leaves of sensitive plants or on very hot days, as it may burn the plant! Neem Oil Spray (Insecticide and Fungicide) Neem oil is effective in combating hundreds of pests and fungi. Preparation: Mix 1 teaspoon of neem oil with 1/2 teaspoon of natural liquid soap and 1 liter of warm water. Pour into a spray bottle and shake well before each use. Spray plants once a week to combat plant infections and pests. Citrus Peel Spray (Insecticide) The acids found in the peels of fruits like lemons and oranges are especially effective in combating soft-bodied insects and aphids. Preparation: Boil the peels of 2-3 lemons or oranges in 2 cups of water. After the mixture cools, strain it and pour it into a spray bottle. The citric acid in this mixture disrupts the nervous system of insects and weakens their activity. It can be safely applied directly to plants. Salt and Vinegar Mixture (Herbicide) A salt and vinegar mixture is a harmless mixture that inhibits weed growth. However, it is not suitable for use in food production or vegetable beds, as it will harm your plants. It is only suitable for preventing weed growth in your garden, along sidewalks, and on paved paths. Preparation: Mix 1 liter of vinegar with 1 tablespoon of natural soap and 2 heaping tablespoons of salt. This mixture will kill both the leaves and roots of the plants you apply it to. Boiling Water (Herbicide) You can pour boiling water directly onto weeds on sidewalks or driveways, or use it to keep paths clear in your garden. Excessive heat will damage all parts of the plant. It works best on young weeds. Be careful not to get it on the roots of your homegrown plants. Milk Spray (Fungicide) This mixture made with milk is effective in combating all types of fungal infections. Preparation: Mix 1 part milk (whole or skim) with 2 parts water and pour into a spray bottle. Spray every 5-7 days in sunlight. Milk proteins react with sunlight to produce disinfectant radicals. Chamomile Tea Spray (Fungicide) Chamomile is used to combat fungi that rot seedlings. Preparation: Brew a fairly concentrated amount of chamomile tea. Let it cool, then spray on young seedlings or the soil surface. Spray early in the morning or after sunset, avoiding direct sunlight. Shake the mixture before each use. Avoid using strong sprays on new seedlings or sensitive plants without testing on a small number of plants. Repeat weekly or after rain. <h2>CONCLUSION</h2> This and many other natural recipes can help you protect your garden or agricultural produce without chemicals. Furthermore, plant combinations that support each other and keep your garden ecosystem healthy, as well as permacultural approaches, can help you create a healthy garden without the use of pesticides. However, whatever you use in food production, consuming it without proper washing and preparation poses a food safety risk. If you live in areas where industrial agriculture is prevalent or near cities, we recommend testing for pesticides, even if your own produce is. Furthermore, these naturally persistent substances are dispersed through both air and water and can reach anywhere.
