| Popis: | During grain storage, pests cause significant harm. Their larvae gnaw through the shell of the grain and penetrate inside, where they feed on the endosperm. Currently, when fighting against such pests, the technologies of forced cooling of the grain mound and disinfection of seeds using insecticides are used. Both of these technologies are not widely used in grain production, due to significant material and energy costs for the purchase and maintenance of special equipment. Moreover, the second technology is environmentally hazardous, since it uses substances polluting the environment. Now many scientists are engaged in studying ecologically safe methods of fighting with pests. One of such methods is grain treatment with ozone. However, this method is not used due to the lack of recommendations for the use of this gas and the need for some additional equipment for gas production. To ensure the metabolic process in their body, pests need to consume oxygen from the environment in much larger volumes than the seeds of cereals need. A promising method for protecting seeds from pests is a method based on limiting the process of slowing down the metabolism of pests by limiting the consumption of oxygen from the environment. This article is devoted to the results of studying this method. |
