Frutticoltura: controllo degli insetti dannosi con le vibrazioni – biotremologia (Video BIOFRUITNET)
Lo strumento affronta la necessità di nuove tecnologie per il controllo delle specie dannose nell’agricoltura biologica, in particolare nella frutticoltura biologica. La biotremologia studia come gli insetti comunicano tra loro utilizzando vibrazioni meccaniche. Gli insetti emettono e rispondono alle vibrazioni, per questo motivo le vibrazioni possono essere utilizzate per influenzare il comportamento degli insetti dannosi […]
