Description

Description

Title of the invention: Curative device intended to increase the efficiency of plant protection products to bring about a drastic reduction in doses of pesticides without altering agricultural yields.

The invention relates to a curative process in an agricultural environment for the preparation and conversion before slurry in the sprayer of a phytopharmaceutical treatment product, in a treated aqueous bed (5), (Fig. 1,2) allowing d '' increase the efficiency of inputs and thus lead to a drastic reduction in pesticide doses without altering agricultural yields.

The invention will be described more particularly with regard to a device, a single installation for processing an aqueous molecule, (5) intended for its conversion into a soluble bed, maintained at a precise hydrometric temperature (10 ), prefiltered (la, lb, lc) micro filtered, (4a) nano filtered (4b), ultra-purified (7a, 7b, 8a, 8b) and deionized (6), then micro acidified (15,16,17) by self-controlled programming (18) thanks to software created to measure and holding a memory capacity of more than five thousand sequences of instructions (technical sheets and ph of each approved input) capable of calculating by micro dosage, (15,16, 17) the most accurate acidification at "time" t, and recognize the compatible pH for each plant protection product.

In recent years, societal pressure is gradually forcing the agricultural world to reduce plant protection products and the doses of this chemistry. Unfortunately the reduction in approved doses of plant protection products leads to crop losses because its protection is reduced.

The active substance which designates the chemical substance existing in a plant protection product has a therapeutic effect; However, by studying the spray water (representing 95% of the slurry = water + phyto) we know that the pH modifies the behavior of the product over time.

Many factors are at the origin of the loss in efficiency of plant protection products.

The first element to monitor is the environment, weather, humidity, wind, insects, disease pressure, etc. For each approved dose, each plant protection product is supposed to be fully effective. Plant protection product manufacturers recommend that chemical inputs be diluted in water.

However, farmers currently use untreated raw water (mixing, wells, rivers or urban networks) when mixing these products (porridge) without checking whether the possible chemical reactions and whether the minerals and metals found in water are detrimental to the effectiveness of plant protection products. Unfortunately, this has a certain impact on the inputs when preparing the porridge; This can vary the efficiency of the active substance from 30 to 80%.

- Thus the invention will be described in a single device, namely, an installation, (fig.l) which allows to process an objective conversion of the molecule (5) intended to be mixed with plant protection products before spreading such than :

- Fungicides, which combat fungi and molds that can develop on plants.

- Insecticides which aim to eliminate insects (adults, juveniles or larvae) feeding on grasses and crops.

- Herbicides, which fight against "weeds" (also called weeds).

The result of this treatment (5) can also be associated with animal food because we have noticed an improvement in milk production;

The milk yield is proportional to consumption (0.60 liter per kilo of milk) this treatment can therefore lead to an improvement in production.

It has also been found that the stools of animals drinking tap water contain a lot of proteins, vitamins and mineral salts which are not assimilated.

It has also been shown that animals drinking water as a result of this treatment have very different stools without loss of vital elements.

- This is how another application arranged downstream of an untreated water supply coming from borehole, supply, rain, river or lake water completes the process. to treat the raw water molecule (charged ions) which consists of a self-cleaning hydractive pre-filter device (la, 1b, le) with a filtration capacity of 10 pm allowing to eliminate any coarse contamination and to preserve the device any damage during the final treatment of the molecule.

- This is how another application called “Microfiltration” completes the process which consists of an exchanger (4a) characterized within it by an astonishing crystalline rock in the form of honeycomb, cavities, channels absorbing the majority of gases, radioactive elements of heavy metals and minerals. These canals provide up to several hundred square meters of surface on which chemical reactions can take place. This device (4a) eliminates:

- The main mineral materials existing in water such as: Calcium Ca ++;

magnesium Mg ++; sodium Na +; SO4 sulfates; potassium K ++;

Carbonates ++ HcO3; CI chlorides; and NO3 nitrates.

- The main metallic aggregates of water such as: Fe ++; Nickel Zn; Zinc; Tin; Copper Cu ++; The lead ; Aluminum

- This is how another application called "Nano filtration" completes the process which consists of an exchanger (4b) characterized therein by functionalized or naked magnetic nanoparticles.

This application is related to the competition between the Hydrodynamic and magnetic forces as well as the phase separation within the suspension. The theories developed during this work are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results and show the increase in the capture efficiency of nanoparticles with the increase in the intensity of the magnetic field and the concentration of nanoparticles.

This device (4b) captures the targeted pollutants, then the nanoparticles are removed from the water by the application of a magnetic field.

These 2 applications (4a & 4b) include a connection to a tank containing sodium (3) in order to regenerate the resins by injection of brine controlled by an electromechanical valve (2a, 2b).

- This is how another application called “Ultra filtration” completes the process which consists of one or more hydrostatic membranes greater than the osmotic pressure (7a, 7b) and supplemented by a double electrodeionization (6) . The molecule is diffused through a flame retardant self-polymer membrane and the mineral salts are retained in the compartment containing the most concentrated solution. This process eliminates pseudomonas "di minute", marcros molecules, colloid yeasts, pollens, viruses, bacteria, and other compounds and various organic.

- Another application is characterized by one or more semi-permeable membranes (8a, 8b) whose process is then carried out in reverse of the natural phenomenon

To dissolve all Gram negative bacteria and remove all remaining mineral and metallic species.

We then obtain a fully treated and doubly deionized molecule (6) to apply it to the mixture (porridge) with plant protection products.

- This is when another application (13) completes the process,

Which consists in bio-energizing the water molecule with a double synergy. This is characterized by a dynamizer (13), which allows the osmosis water to be restructured to break the initial pearly and slippery effect of the plant. This application allows the molecule to bind and unbind with everything it touches at a rate of several "millions of times" per second.

The water molecule is a fluid element of low vibrational frequency (of the order of 10 powers 10 hertz, value of far infrared) and offers no resistance to the passage of cosmic waves whose frequency is between 10 24 hertz powers and 40hertz powers:

This energy creates a very large field of action (resonance bubbles). The volume of this field of action represents up to 7000 times its volume, which explains its influence over a large area. This reaction makes it possible to obtain a magnetized, structured, vitalized and penetrating molecule on the plant when the treatment is applied to plant protection products.

Stagnant water forms agglutinations called aggregates or clusters of water (formation of hydrogen bridges, 2H2O dimers, 3H2O trimers, Fourth 4H2O etc ...)

A large part of farmers use polluted water and store it for several days in spray tanks, cisterns or water towers as appropriate. These waters are absorbed 4 times slower than energized water and limit the contact surface with the plant's leaf.

To energize water you need a centripetal vortex movement caused by a spiral that tapers.

This movement breaks the molecular agglutinations, making the water more liquid and increasing the contact angle of the drop on the leaf as a function of the more or less significant presence of crystalline wax in the cuticle.

Dynamization erases negative or even pathogenic information that has accumulated there.

Water self-purifies and produces bioenergy, which promotes the regeneration of H2O molecules by catalysis. The water which is thus de-clustered, has a high energy and generates bio-photons in millions of times per second with its environment, for better penetration on the plant. A water molecule free of pathogens and pollutants and with low conductivity is essential for agricultural operations, whose production, standards and rules in force are very strict in these areas. If dissolving a solid requires endothermic energy, a rise in temperature will increase the solubility. (Raising the water by 5 ° C makes it possible to multiply by 3 the solubility of the active substance in water).

The water that is used by farms generally comes from cold sources (river, lakes, well, network, etc.) and causes insolubility in plant protection products. A large proportion of farmers use polluted water and store it for several days in spray tanks, cisterns or a water tower as appropriate.

If rainwater is used for the preparation of slurries, it is necessary to take care of the storage conditions of this water and avoid the storage tanks of reinforced concrete or steel because the water could be loaded with iron which forms an insoluble salt.

- This is how another application completes the process which consists in increasing the solubility of the plant protection product, thanks to one or more auxiliary tanks (if necessary) in the form of storage tank (s) having and suitable insulation (lla, 11b, and lie) comprising:

- Temperature measurement means (21) arranged in direct contact with the aqueous molecule

- pH measurement means (22) connected by contact probe.

Heating means for maintaining or raising the temperature according to a precise hydrometry between 12 and 24 ° C. The aqueous molecule (5) is electrically heated (10) inside make-up storage tanks having suitable insulation (1 la, 11b, and 1 le) and holding at a variant temperature between 12 ° and 24 ° C. according to the measurement of the humidity level and the outside temperature.

Downstream of the storage tank (1 la, 11b, 1 le), a centrifugal pump makes it possible to convey the purified molecule at high speed in a vortex movement system (13).

- The percentage of phytosanitary products which can be dissolved in the spray mixture is around 35 to 40%. It is therefore important to reheat the boiled water to obtain optimal solubility conditions and to dissolve the remaining percentage.

The solubility of a pure body depends, for a given temperature:

- The structure of the compound

- The nature of the solvent

For example: Copper sulphate is approximately 3 times more soluble than potassium dichromate

- Cobalt chloride is 9 times more soluble than potassium dichromate.

While there are very soluble substances, there are no insoluble substances.

- Another application (18) which completes the process consists in creating custom software by self-controlled tactile programming, holding a memory capacity of more than five thousand sequences of instructions (technical sheets and ph of each approved input ) able to calculate by micro assay, (15, 16, 17) the most accurate acidification at "time" t, and recognize the compatible pH for each plant protection product.

- According to the measurements sent by the impulse water meter (14), the injection pump (16) sends micro jets of acid contained in the element (15) and routes them through the water circuit thanks to the support collar (17).

The device according to the invention is characterized by a control interface, allowing proper management of the programming means for custom pH correction (18) of the molecule (5); as well as automatic management of the opening / closing elements (9a, 9b) of the molecular circuits according to the information perceived by the anti-water overflow probes (19) the low level safety probes (20) and the active pump centrifugal (12). The said programming and control means are displayed by a screen and touch keys. The installation (18) is housed in a closed and insulated box comprising an untimely security mode.

Most wastewater from drilling rivers or other agricultural areas must be neutralized before discharge or reuse. Therefore, monitoring is necessary for each treatment, as a large percentage of the pH loops are of inferior quality, often due to environmental pollution, and other material waste.

With ever more pressure to improve the efficiency of the plant and ever stricter regulations in protecting the environment, effective and continuous pH control is highly desirable. However, setting up a pH system is like putting together a puzzle. It will only work when all components are in place. The pH puzzle includes effective pH probes, actuators and controllers. Various pH probes and control actuators are possible; however, the challenge is to provide a controller that is capable of dealing with large nonlinear gain changes in the pH loop. It will be useful not only for the neutralization of the molecule, but also in case of chemical concentration, since the concentration is a variable parameter, which is the key to quality.

The waters used in agriculture are also variable in their PH, considered acidic, for a pH less than 7 and alkaline or basic for a pH greater than 7.

Following reductions in field efficacy, some farmers have questioned the effect of pH on sulfonylureas, and the significant influence of pH on the effectiveness of these active substances.

If the change in the pH of the slurry can affect the effectiveness of the inputs, it can also affect the stability of the active substances. Thus, sulfonylureas have different behaviors at basic or acid pH: flupyrsulfuron is degraded at acid and basic pH. Metsulfuron is degraded only at acidic pH.

It has been found that the half-life of Allied (name of the plant protection product), that is to say the time necessary for its degradation which corresponds to half of the substance, is 24 hours at pH 7 (neutral) and 5 hours at pH 2 (very acidic).

The iodo-meso are also degraded at acidic pH. In addition, in an aqueous medium, the sulfonylurea bridge is subject to hydrolysis, and by decreasing the pH: degradation by hydrolysis accelerates.

Lace to these elements, it is therefore necessary to be careful to know how to adapt and precisely calculate the pH characteristics of the spray mixture before spraying, at the risk of obtaining a certain deficiency in the active ingredient. The pH formulation of our software has been adapted in order to obtain the best stability under the usual conditions of use of the bottles. Example:

Folpel is an active ingredient used in products called Folpan, Acriptan, and Folfal from the fungicide family. Widely used in French agriculture on wheat crops, tomatoes, vines and fruit crops.

Like any preparation of porridge, products containing Folpel will be diluted in water: which explains by the "active material / water" ratio that this is conventionally between 1/30 and 1 / 10,000.

The water drawn by the farmer comes from different types according to the regions of France, and the places of withdrawal (water from boreholes, rain, networks, rivers, lakes, etc.) water has a variable pH between 7 and 8, an average of 7.5 throughout France.

The Folpel molecule is very sensitive to pH: "It will have lost 50% of its efficiency in 40 minutes in water at pH 7, and will be completely unstable at pH 9". Farmers today meet the standards and use the approved rates; however, they can lose more than 50% protection on their crops due to unsuitable water and pH. Unfortunately, if this dry loss is combined with a dose reduction, they only have a small percentage of products effective for 100% of pollutants. However, the Folpel molecule has a half-life of 6:30 in water at pH 5.

In conclusion, a self-controlled programming is tailor-made thanks to software with a memory capacity of more than five thousand sequences of instructions (technical sheets and ph of each approved input). The control panel (18) makes it possible to calculate to the nearest micron, the most accurate acidification at "time" T ", and to recognize the compatible pH for each plant protection product.

This application is necessary for optimal efficiency, and to generate significant reductions in input doses (pesticides) during spraying.
