Description

[0001]DESCRIPTION REPELLENT PRODUCT AGAINST PLANT MITES AND PESTS MADE FROM SHEEP WOOL IN SOLID AND LIQUID FORM Known State of the Art The invention relates to the structure in solid form obtained by subjecting dirty (unwashed) sheep wool (fleece) to physical (cutting, shredding, heat, pressure) processes and to the property that the liquid obtained by washing or waiting with alkaline or acidic water after purifying the dirty (unwashed) sheep wool (fleece) from the wastes (plant, bush, animal droppings) on it by physical methods acts as a repellent, repellent against field, tree and plant pests, mites, repellent, repellent against the number of eggs laid. In the known state of the art, leaves falling to the ground are collected and removed from the garden as cultural measures in the fight against mites. Soil cultivation is carried out, plant residues where mites overwinter (settle) are buried in the soil. Weeds in the garden are controlled. As for biological control, there are very effective natural enemies of mites. In addition to Phytoseiidae family species, mites such as S. longicornis, S. punctillum and S. Gilvifrons, M. Caliginosus, Z. Alanatus play an important role in reducing the population of the pest. Necessary precautions should be taken to protect the beneficials in nature, to increase their effectiveness, and drugs with little effect on the beneficials are selected. Chemical pesticides authorised by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock are used for chemical control. Situations such as controlling drug residues and pre-harvest application times are controlled by provincial and district agricultural authorities. Sheep wool is generally used for yarn production in the textile sector. It is widely used in areas such as yarn, felt and quilt production. However, wools with short and thick (> 28 microns) structural form cannot be utilised in the textile industry. These sheep wools, which have become waste, have started to be used in areas such as insulation material, fertiliser, amino acid and vegetation in recent years. Sheep wool contains rich organic matter, organic nitrogen, potassium, iron, calcium and keratin in its structural form. In their report published in 2012, Michael Henry Böhme and his team showed that sheep wool pellet can be used as organic fertiliser-plant nutrient in vegetable and flower studies grown using sheep wool pellet.

Then the following process steps are applied for each product. Solid Form Product Production Steps The product in solid form according to claim 1, wherein the dirty (unwashed) sheep wool (fleece) is cleaned from the wastes (plant, bush, animal droppings) on it by physical methods (handling, raking, beating, sorting) and then subjected to shredding-grinding in a guillotine or hammer-blade grinding machine. The product released during the process is passed through the sieve machine. Pieces with a length of 0.4 mm and above are collected above the sieve. The product in powder form smaller than 0.4 mm is collected under the sieve. Sheep wool collected from the top of the sieve is subjected to rectangular prism-shaped, cube- shaped, spherical compression with a moulding machine or cylindrical compression with a pellet machine in order to be sized to have a diameter of 2 mm - 20 mm and a length of 2 mm - 150 mm according to the product type. (Figure 1-2-3-4-5) Sheep wool in powder form collected under the sieve is subjected to tablet-shaped, rectangular prism-shaped, cube-shaped, sphere-shaped compression with a moulding machine or cylindrical compression with a pellet machine in order to be sized to have a diameter of 2 mm - 20 mm and a length of 2 mm - 150 mm according to the product type. (Figure 1-2-3-4-5) The product is heat treated at 90°C for 10 minutes to remove parasites and bacteria on the product. It is placed in a plastic container (7 surfaces closed or perforated, 1 surface completely open or 8 surfaces perforated) to be used with the hanger model in accordance with the product type and size (Figure 6). The produced products are packaged in the desired quantity and size. Liquid Form Product Production Steps 1. The product in liquid form according to claim 1 and the method of production according to claim 8. Dirty sheep wool (fleece) is removed from waste (plant, brush, animal droppings) by physical methods (handling, carding, beating, sorting). The sheep wool (fleece) is then filled into the heated mixing vessel without compression. Pour 0.1-10% (a / a) Alkaline (NaOH, KOH etc. using bases) water solution on it in an amount to cover the surface. The wool and solution are stirred at low speed (10-20 rpm) between 25°C - 85°C for 5-50 min. After stirring, the solution is filtered so that no wool particles remain. After filtering, the solution is kept in the cooling tank for cooling. After the cooling process is completed, the liquid product is neutralised with acid (H2SO4 etc.) to bring the pH to 6.5-7.5. The liquid product is filled into spray bottles or drums in desired quantities. 2. The product in liquid form according to claim 1 and the method of production according to claim 8.

PROBLEM SOLVED AND ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION Mites feeding on plants can feed on different organs of plants according to their biology and also according to their mouth structures. These can be parts of plants such as leaves, shoots, fruits, branches, seeds, stems and roots. Those with chewing mouthparts that feed on leaves and shoots damage them by eating them in different ways. These can be as follows; by destroying only the outer part of the leaf or the whole leaf, by eating only the leaf stalks and veins, by entering between the two epidermis and gnawing the parenchyma tissue, by eating fruits and seeds and opening galleries. Sometimes, as a result of the plant's reaction to these secretions, structures in the form of gal or tumour formation may occur. Galls may be simple swellings on the leaves or stems, or they may be quite complex in the anatomical structure of the plant. However, they are always specific to the gall formers. In other words, galls have dimensions, shape and colour specific to the galling species. The galls on leaves, stems and flowers are mostly formed by insects and mites. The damage patterns of insects with a stinging-sucking mouth structure differ from others in some ways. Because in this mouth structure, before the stinging process, the insect secretes a saliva from its mouth in order to soften the tissues with its sting and make it easier to sting, and as a result of the beta indolic acid contained in this saliva, damage in the form of tissue death or deformities in plants occurs in different ways. Natural methods in the control of mites are weak in providing sufficient effect. However, the misuse of chemical pesticides and pesticides causes heavy soil and plant pollution. The invention has the effect of repelling mites from the environment due to the odour in solid and liquid form. The lanolin in the structure of wool and the odour specific to sheep wool affect the nervous systems of mites and have a negative effect on the accommodation and feeding of mites in the area where the invention is used. The invention provides a great advantage in fields, gardens and greenhouses, especially within the scope of natural and biological control. Our product prevents harmful mites from feeding on leaves, fruits or roots, removes them from the structure to a great extent and reduces the amount of reproduction. The invention does not have any effect on the life span of living beings and ensures the protection of the natural balance. Due to its repellent-repellent effect, it reduces the use of high amounts of chemical pesticides and pesticides in fields, gardens and greenhouses. In this way, it is advantageous to prevent soil and plant pollution. 1- The invention as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mite has a high repellent effect against Red Spider Mites (Scientific Name: ''Tetranychus urticae'' and ''Panonychus ulmi'') which are plant pests in agricultural lands, gardens and greenhouses, a repellent effect, a repellent effect from the plant, a reduction in feeding from leaves, fruits and roots, a reduction in the number of eggs laid by adult females, and a prevention of the mite walking and settling on the plant. 2- The invention as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mite has a high repellent effect against Whitefly Mites (Scientific Name: ''Trialeurodes vaporariorum'' and ''Bemisia tabaci'') which are plant pests in agricultural lands, gardens and greenhouses, a repellent effect, a repellent effect from the plant, a reduction in feeding from leaves, fruits and roots, a reduction in the number of eggs laid by adult females, and a prevention of the mite walking and settling on the plant. 3- The invention as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mite has a high repellent effect against Potato Rot Nematode (Scientific Name: Nematoda) and other species, which are plant pests in agricultural lands, gardens and greenhouses, a repellent effect from the root of the plant, a reducing effect on root feeding, a reducing effect on the number of eggs laid by adult females, and a preventing the mite from walking and settling on the plant. 4- The invention as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mites which are plant pests in agricultural lands, gardens and greenhouses and which are listed below have a high repellent effect against the mites, a repellent effect from the plant, a reducing effect on feeding from leaves, fruits and roots, a reducing effect on the number of eggs laid by adult females, and a preventing the mite from walking and settling on the plant; ● Eriophyidae = Pear leaf scab ● Aculops lycopersici = Tomato scab ● Aculus schlechtendali = Apple rust mite ● Eriophyes ficus = Fig mite ● Eriophyes vitis = Vineyard leaf scab ● Aceria sheldoni = Citrus bud mite ● Aculops lycopersici = Tomato rust mite ● Cecidophyopsis vermiformis = Hazelnut cone mite ● Eriophyes similis = Apricot leaf scab ● Tetranychidae ● Tetranychus urticae = Two-spotted red spider ● Tetranychus cinnabarinus = Cotton red spider ● Tetranychus viennensis = gall mite ● Panonyhus ulmi = European red spider ● Bryobia rubrioculus = Brown mite ● Panonychus citri = Citrus red spider ● Tenuipalpidae = Pomegranate flat mite ● Cenopalpus pulcher = Flat mite ● Eupodidae ● Penthaleus major = Red-legged cereal mite ● Tyroglyphidae ● Rhizoglyphus echinopus = Flower bulb mite on gladiolus ● Acaridae ● Acarus siro = Flour mite ● Carpoglyphidae ● Carpohlyphus lactis = Dry fruit mite ● Phytoptidae ● Phytoptus avellenae = Hazelnut cone mite ● Tarsonemidae ● Polyphagotarsonemus latus = Tea mite PRODUCTION AND POST-USE WASTE RECYCLING SYSTEM The solid form product according to claim 1 is a natural sheep wool material.
