Well they try and kill the pest insects that damage their crops but unfortunately the insecticide sprays they use actually kill all insects which, while perhaps OK for the farmer is very bad for the ecology and biodiversity of the planet.....also we end up eating some of these chemicals and as they are poisons it can not really be good for us.
