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 ... >>

Genetic weapon 03.06.2019

Scientists at the University of Maryland have created a genetically modified (GM) fungus that releases a toxin that kills malarial mosquitoes.

The effectiveness of this method of dealing with carriers of a deadly infection was tested outside the laboratory for the first time.

The researchers introduced genes encoding calcium-activated potassium ion channels and a hybrid hexatoxin-Hv1a into the fungus Metarhizium pingshaense. The latter is isolated by the deadly Australian funnel-web spiders. The Mosquito Sphere, a facility built to mimic the natural environment in Burkina Faso, West Africa, was used to test the hybrid fungus pathogenic to the mosquito Anopheles coluzzii. In this region, the incidence of malaria in 2017 was 7,9 million cases.

"Mosquito sphere" consisted of six compartments. Four of them, covered with a greenhouse film, contained buildings with calves, plants for adult mosquitoes and mating sites. Insecticide-resistant A. coluzzii were collected for experiment as larvae from natural habitats, and inside the compartments the insects reached the adult form. The fungus was placed on a cloth that was hung inside the "sphere".

It turned out that mosquitoes exposed to the hybrid protein died 1,6 times faster than from the wild form of M.pingshaense. The insect population died within 45 days. At the same time, fungi are less species-specific than the gene drive method, with the help of which harmful mutations are spread within the wildest mosquito population using GM insects.
