I'm more concerned with small scale (home/homestead) vegetable patches. Industrial giants will finger out their own solutions. Speaking of the industrial giants - didja norice that Del Monte has gone "tits up"?

Once i read that night polinators, such as moths, do just as much
polination as honey bees. Some flowers, such as zucchini, close business
at night. Moths are also on the decline, and some attribute it to
pollution, including light pollution.

I had not heart about Del Monte. That's too bad, i actually liked that
brand. One thing i've notices is that in Grocery Outlet, a west coast
discount store, they used to have a whole aisle dedicated to canned
fruit and vegetables. Then it was half an aisle. Then it was a quarter.
Now it's a pathetic shelf or two, and most of that is imported from
overseas. But there's chips get an entire aisle, soda gets an entire
aisle, and cookies and crackers share an entire aisle.

Salt, fat, and sugar, they've got what plants crave!
