More Information
Summary:Systems and methods for controlling agricultural insect pest using electromagnetic energy are described. The described system implements method that comprises measuring dielectric values of a crop and an insect pest which is likely to attack the crop. The method further includes determining values of parameters from a group of parameters consisting of a distance between parallel plate capacitors, a size of each of the parallel plate capacitors, an electric field strength for dielectric heating and time required for dielectric heating of the crop. The method also includes exposing the crop to an electromagnetic field generated by a Radio Frequency (RF) or Microwave Frequency applied to a pair of parallel plate capacitors.
