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 ... >>

Invisible plastic in water 17.03.2020

A Washington State University research team has found that nanosized particles of the most commonly used plastic tend to pass through water systems and end up in water, soil, and sewage treatment plants.

Scientists have studied what happens to tiny nano-sized pieces of plastic that enter the aquatic environment. It is estimated that every day about eight trillion pieces of microplastics pass through wastewater treatment plants and enter the aquatic environment. These small pieces of plastic can come from the decomposition of larger pieces of plastic or microbeads that are used in personal care products.

A study found that more than 90% of tap water in the US contains nanosized plastic particles that are invisible to the human eye. Scientists have studied the fate of polyethylene and polystyrene nanoparticles, which are used in a wide range of products, including plastic bags, personal care products, kitchen appliances, disposable drinking cups and packaging material. They examined how tiny plastic particles behaved in a variety of chemical reactions, from salty sea water to water containing organic material.

The researchers found that while water acidity has little effect on what happens to nanosized plastics, salt and natural organics are important in determining how plastics move or settle. It turned out that tiny pieces of plastic remain in the environment with unknown health and environmental consequences.
