While man continues to go on measuring agrichemical sprays according to their chemical properties we will continue to turn a blind eye to the damage that they do at gene level both in plants and other living creatures of this world.
The detection of these sprays in plants can be measured using quantum physics equipment long after chemical testing indicates that the residue has apparently ‘disappeared' from plant tissues. It is minute quantities, parts per million and billion that do the most damage to living tissue by distorting the gene patterns. This compromises life itself.
Authorities here in The Bay have been attempting to make it mandatory that when toxic agrichemical spraying is being carried out neighbours are informed, cones are placed along the boundaries, plastic bags put over letter boxes to warn the postman and special spray nozzles are used. If this is deemed necessary because the wind-assisted spray drift and the diffusion of the spray through the air travel past boundary fences and tree shelter belts then surely it makes sense that surrounding orchards, be they ‘organic' or not are being polluted with the agrichemical to a lesser degree than the one being treated.
This scenario is similar to the way in which the toxins of cigarette smoke affect both the non-smoker and the smoker himself when they share the same airspace.
This is why the organic kiwifruit orchards are also being infected with PSA. Quantum physics testing shows us that they cannot be totally spray-free when neighbouring orchards are using the agrichemicals.
Unfortunately toxic poisons affect us all whether we choose to use them ourselves or be subjected to their destruction by others
