Two separately stored chemicals are mixed in a reaction chamber in the beetle's abdomen. An explosion is triggered with the help of catalytic enzymes.
The hollow spaces are filled with one of two chemicals: hydrogen peroxide or manganese dioxide. The two separate films are stuck then on top of each another.
A layer of clear lacquer separates the two films filled with the different chemicals. When subjected to an impact the interlayer is destroyed causing the hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide to mix.
The regime that used fewer chemicals resulted in more than 50 percent reductions in the amount of nitrogen that escaped into groundwater and rivers with crop yields close to those of standard management.
The zero-chemical regime mitigated greenhouse warming enough to compensate for the emissions produced under standard management.
