Use climate environment to control forest insect pests

Forest pests and diseases make many foresters headache, but by analyzing the living habits of pests, we will find that climate conditions are closely related to the life activities of pests. Then we can use the climate to control pests and diseases...

Relationship between meteorological factors and forest pest occurrence

Step 1: Temperature

Temperature is the basic meteorological factor affecting the activities of pests, in winter, we found that there are no pests, visible pests are very afraid of cold. A heavy snow in the past year will kill the eggs and pests buried in the ground, and reduce the pests in the next year. The environmental temperature is high, the pest growth is strong, reproduction ability is strong, it is easy to occur insect pests.

Step 2: Humidity

Water is the basis of life activities, and different pests have different requirements for water. Rainfall can change the humidity of the air and soil, which can affect the development of pests. It is worth mentioning that heavy rain can mitigate insect infestation to a certain extent, because heavy rain strongly washes away pests, resulting in pest death.

3. Wind

Wind affects the migration and geographical distribution of pests. Most pests usually use the wind to expand their territory, and the eggs and larvae can be transported to other places with the wind.

Step 4: Light

Light has a stimulating and regulating effect on the development of pests, such as short light can cause dormancy of pests. Light also affects the reproduction of pests. The insecticidal lamps we use daily are the use of light to "lure" pests to destroy pests.

All in all, the climate factors that affect the pest mainly include temperature, humidity, precipitation, light and wind, etc. These factors interact with each other to affect the development of the pest. Therefore, monitoring these climate factors can predict the trend of pest development and give early warning in time.

Fengtu Technology agricultural weather station FT-QC10 is a equipment for agricultural and forestry meteorological environment observation, which can real-time monitor environmental temperature, relative humidity, light intensity, atmospheric pressure, dew point temperature, soil temperature and humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, ultraviolet radiation, sunshine hours and other meteorological elements. Users can freely choose monitoring elements.

The equipment is composed of five parts: weather sensor, collector, solar power supply system, vertical pole bracket and cloud platform.

Weather sensor free combination.

With low power consumption, the collector converts meteorological data into current signals and transmits them to the cloud platform.

The power supply system uses a combination of mains and solar energy, with built-in lithium batteries, which can be used in areas without electricity.

The vertical pole bracket is standard with three meters of carbon steel bracket and two flanges (height can be customized).

The cloud platform is a CS architecture software platform, which supports direct observation by mobile phones and PC browsers without additional software installation.
