Entomopathogenetic nematode spray equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses entomopathogenetic nematode spray equipment, which comprises a water tank and a nematode suspension tank. A water pump connecting pipe is arranged in the water tank. One end of the water pump connecting pipe stretches into the water tank. The other end of the water pump connecting pipe is connected with the input port of a water pump. The output port of the water pump is connected with one end of a clean water drain pipe. At least two spray nozzle connecting pipes which are arranged from the front to the rear are connected onto the clean water drain pipe. At least one clean water spray nozzle is installed on each spray nozzle connecting pipe. The positions of front and rear clean water spray nozzles correspond to each other. A nematode suspension connecting pipe is arranged in the nematode suspension tank. One end of the nematode suspension connecting pipe stretches into the nematode suspension tank. The other end of the nematode suspension connecting pipe is connected with the input port of a nematode suspension pump. The output port of the nematode suspension pump is connected with one end of a nematode suspension drain pipe. At least one spray nozzle connecting pipe is connected onto the nematode suspension drain pipe. At least one nematode suspension spray nozzle is installed on the spray nozzle connecting pipe and is arranged between the front and rear clean water spray nozzles. The position of the nematode suspension spray nozzle corresponds to the positions of the front and rear clean water spray nozzles. An agitator is additionally arranged in the nematode suspension tank.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biological control, in particular to an entomopathogenic nematode spraying equipment. Background technique: [0002] The entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema and Heterorhabditis are a class of insect parasitic nematodes that are closely related to C. elegans and some mammalian parasitic nematodes. Photorhabdus mutualistic symbiosis. As a new and safe commercial biological control factor, this kind of nematode has been widely used in the control of soil-dwelling and borer pests, and has brought remarkable results to the integrated management of pests. The effectiveness of entomopathogenic nematodes in the field of pest control and people's desire to reduce the use of chemical pesticides have made entomopathogenic nematodes highly valued by the scientific and commercial communities, and more and more species / strains have been discovered and used in pest biological control. More than 65 species have been describe...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The entomopathogenic nematode spraying method is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and unfavorable for the large-scale popularization and application of entomopathogenic nematodes. Therefore, the present invention designs a nematode spraying equipment to reduce the steps and labor required for spraying.
