RU171377U1 - DEVICE FOR CONTROL OF BEHAVIOR OF INSECT-SPRAYERS BY INFLUENCING THEIR CHEMORECEPTORS WITH COMPONENTS OF NECTAR FLOWERS OF CULTURAL PLANTS - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of agriculture, in particular, to the means of attracting pollinating insects in garden plots, agricultural firms and other agricultural enterprises of the crop sector. The purpose of the utility model is to realize the processes of evaporation and diffusion of one or more components of nectar from flowers of cultivated plants in the air and attract a greater number of pollinating insects as a result of exposure to their chemoreceptors. The technical result is an increase in the efficiency of pollination of cultural The indicated technical result during the implementation of the utility model is achieved by the fact that all the components of the proposed sample are assembled in the device case, such as: a cartridge with a chemoattractant, a heater, to which the substance is supplied from the cartridge, and a low-voltage voltage source that allows the sample to work autonomously , and a time sensor that sets the periods of chemoattractant evaporation.

Description

The utility model relates to the field of agriculture, in particular, to the means of attracting pollinating insects such as bees and bumblebees in garden plots, in agricultural companies and other agricultural enterprises of crop production.

Known attractant for exposure to females of the Colorado potato beetle, which, in turn, is aimed only at the destruction and migration of males of the Colorado potato beetle [patent for invention No. 22258364].

A device for repelling and / or attracting whiteflies is known, comprising the following stages: providing a composition comprising or consisting of one or more repellent compounds selected from alpha-curcumen, beta-myrcene, lara-cimena, gamma-terpinene, alpha-terpinene, alpha-fellandren and / or scingibern; adding said composition one or more times to a plurality of cultivated plants; the provision of a composition containing or consisting of one or more attractant compounds selected from beta-fellandren, limonene and / or 2-karen; adding said composition one or more times to one or more trap plants or trap materials [patent for invention No. 2484628].

Also known is an attractant for flies, containing as an active ingredient a product extracted from bamboo with a solvent, or an extract obtained by pressing bamboo [patent for invention No. 2107437]. The disadvantage of this device is that it focuses on only one type of insect - flies that cannot act as pollinators of plants.

The closest adopted for the prototype is an attractant for flies containing, as an active ingredient, a product extracted from bamboo with a solvent, or an extract obtained by pressing bamboo [patent for invention No. 2107437].

However, the well-known object cannot be used for pollination, since it is used only at livestock enterprises, and is aimed at the destruction of insect pests.

The essence of the utility model is as follows.

The objective of the utility model is to realize the processes of evaporation and diffusion of one or several components of the nectar of flowers of cultivated plants in the air and to attract more pollinating insects as a result of exposure to their chemoreceptors.

The technical result is an increase in the efficiency of pollination of cultivated plants using chemoattractants.

The specified technical result in the implementation of the utility model is achieved by the fact that all the components of the proposed utility model are assembled in the device’s case, such as: a cartridge with a chemoattractant, a heater to which the substance flows from the cartridge, a low-voltage voltage source that allows the device to work autonomously, and a time sensor defining periods of chemoattractant evaporation. It is proposed to attract pollinating insects to use the components of the nectar of flowers of pollinated plants, which, acting on their chemoreceptors, imitate the smells of nectar in the flowers of these plants in the environment.

In FIG. 1 is a diagram of a device for controlling the behavior of pollinating insects by exposing the chemoreceptors to the components of nectar on flowers of cultivated plants.

The device is installed near the pollination facility. A cartridge with a chemoattractant 1 is placed inside, on a time sensor 4, a time interval is set during which the attractant 1 will evaporate. The components of nectar entering the heating element 2, which is powered by a low-voltage voltage source 3, begin to evaporate and create a diffuse stream in the environment , which imitates the smell of nectar from flowers of cultivated plants, as a result of which the process of distribution of the substance in the space surrounding the plant. The protective mesh 5 is designed to prevent ingress of pollinating insects into the device casing 6.

Thus, the proposed facility allows to increase the efficiency of the pollination process of cultivated plants and, thereby, increase the yield. For example, the proper use of bees on pollination of sunflower increases its yield from 30 to 50%, buckwheat - by 45%, clover seed - by 75%, alfalfa - by 60%, fruit crops by 65%, vegetables and melons - by 90- one hundred%.

Claims (1)

A device for controlling the behavior of insect pollinators by acting on their chemoreceptors, characterized in that it contains a body with a protective net to prevent insect pollinators from entering the body of the device, inside of which there is a cartridge with a chemoattractant consisting of components of nectar from flowers of cultivated plants and acting only on pollinating insects, a time sensor by which the interval is established during which the attractant will evaporate, and fed from chnika low voltage heating element, which receives an attractant from the cartridge.
