What information can bees extract from the electrical field of flowers?

During the flight, due to the friction of air on the hairs on the body, they accumulate a positive charge on themselves, and flowers usually have a negative charge. It has long been known that due to this difference, the pollen from the flower literally flies to the body of the bee. But recent experiments have shown that bees and bumblebees can extract useful information from the characteristics of electric fields. For example, a changed field of a plant after a visit by one bee may inform another that there is not yet a new portion of nectar in the flower.

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 ... >>

biodegradable lettuce containers 04.10.2019

Feltwood, a Spanish company that converts crop residues into biodegradable industrial materials, has developed lettuce containers.

According to the company's founder and CEO, Arancia Yáñez, parts of lettuce or artichoke lettuce that are not fit for food, as well as other types of plant waste, go through an industrial process to produce new materials.

The food and agricultural system produces a large amount of plant waste, which is costly to process and requires management efforts. However, this waste can also lead to new opportunities.

The company's technology is based on two differentiated processes: first, plant waste is collected and converted into Feltwood raw materials. It is then molded to produce products that are 100% biodegradable, recyclable and even compostable.

Feltwood has three materials with different characteristics for four specific markets. All materials of the developed products are fully biodegradable, recyclable and compostable: Feltwood Insulation, targeted in particular at the construction sector, cold stores and modular roofs; Feltwood Anti-Impact, with ideal properties for protective packaging; Feltwood Pack, for the light packaging industry (small containers, trays) and Feltwood Hard, an ideal material for making furniture.
