新加坡农业生物学家张炼辉找到一种消灭蔗害的细菌，成功地迈出了提高蔗糖产量的第一步。“钻心虫”是亚洲甘蔗生产的最大威胁。这种虫一旦钻入甘蔗茎内，一般喷洒在作物表层的农药或杀虫剂便根本起不了作用。他经过8个多月的研究后，找出一种能消灭钻心虫的细菌，并分析出细菌 Singapore agricultural biologist Zhang Lianhui found a bacterium that eliminates sugarcane and has successfully taken the first step toward increasing sucrose production. Borer is the biggest threat to sugar cane production in Asia. Once this kind of worm is drilled into the cane stem, the pesticide or insecticide sprayed on the surface of the crop will not be able to function at all. After more than eight months of research, he identified a bacterium that can eradicate worms and analyzed bacteria
