The trouble is that the hormone, synthesized in commercial quantities and sprayed across a field, could eliminate insects essential for pollination as well as those that destroy crops...

Working with DMF, a synthesized chemical compound that acts like a juvenile hormone, a Prague team under Biologist Karel Sláma discovered that it took just one microgram (a millionth of a gram) to sterilize for life a female linden-bug. They also found that a dose as much as 10,000 times the amount of DMF required to produce sterility would cause no other harmful effects. So they figured that a male linden-bug treated with a massive quantity of DMF might be able to lead a normal life, yet pass enough of the chemical to females...
