biological destruction of agriculture

We need to keep close minitoring of geminiviruses that can totally destroy agriculture.

Year after year in the early 1990s, for example, geminiviruses destroyed up to 95% of the tomato harvest in the Dominican Republic, and in just the 1991-92 growing season in Florida, they caused $140 million in damage to the tomato crop.

My formerly young and vigorous citrus orchard was wiped out by lethal yellowing, an insect born disease that attacks the trees’ vascular system.
