10、red(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on
11、 a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems.Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops
12、. The data were transformed into a colourcoded map showing where plants were running “fevers”.

Farmers resisted the new techn

19、ducts are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable，and some are dangerous to health.
