Definitions
- This invention pertains generally to controlling or eliminating pests and pathogens in soil, and more particularly to a method of treating bare or planted soil containing undesired organisms with electromagnetic energy wherein the undesired organisms are selectively or preferentially destroyed without harming desirable plant material adjacent to the treatment area.
- Grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vi tifol iae) is arguably the most significant threat to European grapes
- the present invention generally pertains to a method of treating pests, pathogens and other undesirable organisms found in soil and other growing media such as soil substitutes, additives and solutions, with electromagnetic energy wherein the undesired organisms are selectively heated and destroyed.
- the method of the present invention comprises the steps of exposing a growing media such as soil containing undesirable organisms to a plurality of high frequency electromagnetic energy pulses.
- the wavelength is chosen such that the electromagnetic energy excites molecules in the undesired organism (e.g. , matches a resonant frequency of the organism) but does not excite water or other molecules in the surrounding soil or tissue mass.
- the heat thus induced in the undesired organisms dissipates sufficiently slowly that metabolic activity in the organisms is altered and the organisms are selectively reduced or destroyed.
- Treatment of agricultural soils and other growing media in accordance with the method of the present invention can be used to eliminate or reduce populations of (i) insect pests such as phylloxera, cutworms, beetles, ants, and root aphid ⁇ , (ii) invertebrate pests such as sowbugs, centipedes, millipedes, mites and slugs, (iii) nematode pests such as root knot nematodes, dagger nematodes, and lesion nematodes, (iv) weed seeds, (v) plant pathogenic bacterial such as crown gall and soft rot, (vi) plant pathogenic fungi in soils (e.g., Pytophthora , Fusarium, Rhizoctonia) , crop debris (e.g., Scl erotium oryzae) or in dead tree roots (e.g., Armillaria) . Further, the present invention can be used to replace or minimize (i)
- An object of the invention is to treat organisms with short pulses of electromagnetic energy.
- Another object of the invention is to selectively heat targeted chemicals and/or organisms through resonance .
- Another object of the invention is to minimize or eliminate the use of agricultural pesticides to control soil or media borne pests and/or pathogens .
- Another object of the invention is to selectively kill or retard growth of pest and/or pathogen organisms over beneficial organisms. Another object of the invention is to promote, trigger or synergistically interact with natural processes that inhibit pests and/or pathogens . Another object of the invention is to reduce human- pathogenic fungi .
- FIG. 1 is a graph showing the eclosion of grape phylloxera eggs at 370C as a function of incubation time.
- FIG. 3 is a graph showing the eclosion of grape phylloxera eggs at 430C as a function of incubation time.
- FIG. 4 is a graph showing the percent survival of
- FIG. 5 is a graph showing the survival of Phytophthora capsi ci and P . ci troph thora zoospores as a function of time exposures to continuous ultraviolet light emission.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the survival of Phytophthora ci trophthora zoospores as a function of energy levels from an ultraviolet laser.
- Pulsed energy delivers higher instantaneous power levels with lower overall energy requirements than with continuous heating and, therefore, is more efficient. Further, use of a pulsed high power source provides for higher temperature heating in a shorter period of time.
- pulsed treatment will result in heat transfer without atomization.
- pulse outputs in the range of 1 to 2
- the average power levels can be as a high as a few MW/cm 2 .
- Treatment by exposure to a plurality of pulses effects a near instantaneous increase in the concentration of thermally excited molecules, while heat dissipation is still sufficient slow to be destructive to the targeted organisms .
- an electromagnetic energy source such as a radio transmitter is tuned or synchronized with a targeted molecular structure so that heat transfer takes place between the source and the sample.
- the wavelength is selected such that treatment of the target sample excites particular molecular structures in the sample, such as lipids, but will either not excite water molecules or other molecular structures in adjacent plant growth or will not excite them to a level which will cause molecular damage.
- the frequency of the transmitter is matched to the resonant frequency of the molecular structure of the targeted sample.
- the bandwidth of the signal is also preferable to keep the bandwidth of the signal as narrow as practicable so that molecular structures which resonate at adjacent frequencies will not be excited As a result, energy transfer to the targeted sample is maximized without causing harm to adjacent plant growth. Additionally, particular undesirable organisms can be targeted m this manner without affecting other desirable organisms While heating energy can be applied to soil using resistive, capacitive or inductive coupling, or by treatment with microwaves, lasers and the like, the most effective and preferred source is electromagnetic energy in the radio-frequency spectrum As explained above, the particular frequency is selected to cause excitation, or resonance, of the molecular structure to be targeted.
- a transmitted signal can also generate harmonic frequencies, and the excitation frequency could be at one of those harmonics, the frequency selected can also be a function of the depth of soil penetration required as well as the chemical composition of the organisms to be destroyed. For example, frequencies m the spectrum of approximately 100 MHz will penetrate the so l to depths of approximately 15 feet while, at the same time, be destructive to many pests or pathogens without harming adiacent plant material.
- the beam width of the treatment source should be sufficiently wide so as to cover all possible sites of infestation.
- a more narrow beam width could be used and the area sweeped with the beam. Since the wavelength is selected to cause excitation of only targeted molecular structures m the undesired organisms, use of wide beam widths or sweeping is possible without harming plant growth. It will also be appreciated that, where the location of infestations are known, the infestation site can be targeted by using a highly directional antenna with a very narrow beam width.
- Example 1 The eclosion of grape phylloxera eggs was tested as a function of temperature and heating time. It was found that efficient control of the eclosion process was possible with temperatures as low as 370C as shown m FIG. 1 The effects at 400C and 430C were also demonstrated efficiency as shown m FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, respectively, and suggested that rapid heating would provide other effective heating profiles to accomplish the required control .
- Example 2 The survival of Fusarium oxyspori um f . sp . dian thi m soils held at constant temperatures is shown m FIG 4, for the selected temperatures of 500C, 550C, 650, and 700C Soil containing amounts of inoculum were placed m constan -temperature incubators for various lengths of time. At the end of the exposure period, soils were assayed for viable propagules. Survival is expressed as a percentage of propagules that survived the heat exposure treatment. The relationship between temperature and control shows that, at 500C, complete control (i.e., zero percent survival) can be achieved in less than two hours. As temperatures increase, survival times are greatly reduced.
- FIG. 6 shows the survival rate of Phytoph thora ci trophthora zoospores to exposure to an ultraviolet laser in terms of the percent of viable spores remaining as a function of energy levels. Spores were suspended in distilled water and were pumped through a quartz- indowed treatment cell for exposure to UV radiation. Beam intensity and water flow rate were adjusted to provide different ultraviolet exposure doses. Each point on the graph represents the mean of five replications. Comparison of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 demonstrates that pulsed ultraviolet treatment is several orders of magnitude more efficient than continuous ultraviolet treatment to control fungi and bacteria in water used for irrigation.
- Example 4 The advantages and the treatment efficacy of pulsed power in comparison to continuous power can be seen m U.S. Patent No. 5,364,645 where pulsed ultraviolet treatment is shown to be more efficient than continuous ultraviolet treatment for the control of surface micro ⁇ organisms in foods and in other materials. Since it is known that an object can be heated using electromagnetic energy in the radio-frequency spectrum and, further, since it is known that radio-frequency energy can penetrate soil, water and other objects, using the same principle of treating pests and pathogens on the surface of food using a pulsed ultraviolet energy source, pests and pathogens in growing media such as soil can be controlled by treatment of the soil using pulsed electromagnetic energy. The pests and pathogens will be reduced or eliminated by heating, without damage occurring to the plants. Further, pulsed energy applied at selective frequencies will cause destruction of certain undesirable pests and pathogens without harming desirable organisms.
- the present invention provides for the efficient and effective control of pests and pathogens in soil and other growing media through the pulsed treatment of the growing media with electromagnetic energy emitted at a wavelength which penetrates the growing media and causes excitation of targeted molecular structures sufficient to heat and destroy those structures without causing harm to molecular structures in adjacent plant growth.

Abstract
Procédé de lutte contre les parasites et les germes pathogènes dans le sol et dans d'autres milieux de culture. Les milieux de culture contenant des parasites et des germes pathogènes indésirables est traité au moyen d'une pluralité d'impulsions d'énergie de courte durée provenant d'une source électromagnétique. La fréquence de cette source est sélectionnée de façon que l'énergie électromagnétique pénètre dans les milieux de culture et excite des molécules des parasites et des germes pathogènes, mais n'excite pas l'eau ou d'autres structures moléculaires de cultures contiguës de plantes. Ces parasites et ces germes pathogènes sont ensuite soumis à un réchauffement sélectif et détruits sans porter préjudice aux cultures contiguës.
