What is an aphid?

Aphids (or, in other words, plant lice) are green and brownish insects no more than 6 mm in length. Aphids multiply so quickly that if they were not destroyed by natural enemies, they would have eaten almost all the plants on Earth!

Aphids can be found on the leaves, stems, roots of all kinds of plants. These insects often cause significant damage to fruit trees, flowers, vegetables and crops. They have an unusually strong mouth or proboscis protruding from a tiny head. With this proboscis, the aphid pierces the surface of the leaf and sucks out its juices, after which the plant withers and, most likely, dies.

The most curious detail in the life of aphids is that the aphid's body secretes a sweet liquid called "honeydew", and ants like to drink this liquid. Ants capture aphids and take care of them like a farmer takes care of cows.

Having dragged the aphids into their nest, the ants supply them with a sufficient amount of greenery and carefully protect them. When an ant wants to milk its "cow", it strokes the aphid's abdomen with its antennae, tiny drops of honeydew stand out on the edge of the abdomen. These drops are drunk by the ant. Man, on the other hand, has no special reason to protect aphids, so he often destroys them by spraying them with chemicals.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

New tablets 21.02.2011

In 2010, the tablet market has experienced major changes due to the release of the iPad, and, quite naturally, its major players are preparing to win back the leadership in this segment from Apple. They all go to the "war" as one, armed with the Google Android operating system, and only in rare cases can you find models on Windows 7.

The hardware characteristics of such devices are as follows: touch displays with a diagonal of 5,7 or 10 inches, NVIDIA Tegra 2 chips, Qualcomm Snapdragon, and Intel Atom. Ha CES 2011 Google announced the imminent release of Android 3.0, which was developed specifically for tablets, but in action it never showed.

Most manufacturers have not yet seen this platform and will release devices under Android 2.3 for now. Despite expectations, Microsoft did not introduce a tablet operating system at CES, continuing to recommend Windows 7 for this purpose.

According to Steve Balmer (Steve Balmer), the next version of Windows will support the ARM architecture, and this implies its installation on tablets based on Tegra 2 or Snapdragon.
