Predictive Control for the Optimization of Steam Soil Disinfestation
Soil disinfestation by steam is an agricultural technique that is nowadays attracting growing interest for its low ecological impact and could therefore become a viable alternative to methyl bromide, that will soon banned. The current main limitation of this treatment is due to the cost of the fuel used to generate the steam. In this paper, we present a control strategy that allows to minimize ...
متن کاملGrey-box models for steam soil disinfestation simulation
Agricultural and biological processes often involve complex phenomena that depend not only on time but also on other independent variables, like spatial coordinates. These processes are intrinsically distributed parameter systems whose modelling requires the adoption of (non linear) partial differential equation. Due to their complexity these models often involve parameters difficult to be esti...
متن کاملPerspectives of Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation
Biological soil disinfestation is an environmentally friendly method to disinfest soil. From now on we refer to it as anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD). With ASD a green manure crop (40 t/ha) is homogeneously incorporated into the topsoil (0-30 cm) after which the field is lightly compacted and irrigated. Subsequently the field is mechanically covered with air tight virtually impermeable film...
متن کاملAllyl isothiocyanate as a cancer chemopreventive phytochemical.
Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), which occurs in many common cruciferous vegetables, is widely and often frequently consumed by humans. Besides antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of pathogens, it showed anticancer activity in both cultured cancer cells and animal models, although the underlining mechanisms remain largely undefined. Bioavailability of AITC is extremely high, as nearly 90...
متن کاملSolarization for nematode disinfestation of small volumes of soil.
Several polyethylene plastics were evaluated as potential materials for disinfesting small volumes of soil containing nematodes. Bursaphelenchus seani, cultured on the fungus Monilinia fructicola in petri dishes, was used to bioassay the survival and reproductive capability of nematodes buried 7.5 cm deep in Margate fine sand (soil moisture = 4.9%). The soil was exposed to sunlight for 6 days i...
