Acoustic Method of Colorado Beetle Elimination and It’s Realization

Abstract

In this article the specific influence of the acoustic waves on the organisms living beings is examined. It is known that the most important resonance frequencies of human organs are in the frequency range 0.5-20 Hz. And protection against the harmful acoustic waves on the human body may be only if a person is located in an acoustic field with a frequency, which does not coincide with the resonant frequency of the person. On the contrary, we can use the influence of acoustic fields on organisms of plant pests with the frequency that corresponds to the resonant frequency of body of pests. Then the acoustic field will have a devastating effect on the plant pest. In the laboratory the deaths of the Colorado beetle under the influence of vibratory oscillation and acoustic vibrations were detected. The method and the device for its implementation were developed and described below. The author has registered in the Patent Office of Ukraine "Acoustic Solution Colorado Beetle and Device for Performing" № 25548 A 01 M 1/04, 1/18 October 30, 1998. The elimination of the Colorado beetle by influencing its body by acoustic vibrations leads to a decrease in complexity of operation while excluding toxicity. The experiment was conducted under the conditions of agricultural area using a model of the transmitter.
