weeds & insects

"Weeds and insects - and bacterial and fungal attacks - all point to the degree of degeneration in the soil. Although everything in eco-agriculture is connected to everything else, the whole fabric of interrelatedness is too complicated to permit straight-line connections (cause and effect) very often. Nevertheless we can offer a few notes. 

Fungi involved with plants during the past 15 million years were designed to take down plants that did not deserve to make seed. Such plants do not live up to the Creator's plan, so they must go. Insects and fungi are the first steps in taking, say, the wheat plant back into the decomposition cycle. If, indeed, insects went after the strongest, most thriving individuals, then there wouldn't be any strong seed - the worst possible natural selection. As it is, insects would rather die of starvation than eat plants grown in a healthy field."
