[0001] METHOD OF INFLUENCE ON LIVING ORGANISMS WITH MODULATED ULTRASOUND

[0002] DESCRIPTION

[0003] The invention relates to the field of plant biophysics, plant protection using devices - sources of modulated ultrasonic radiation, namely to the use of ultrasound for selective action on plants, insects, animals and microorganisms [A01B 39 / 28, A01G 7 / 04, A01M 17 / 00, A01M 29 / 16, A01M 29 / 18].

[0004] The prior art discloses an ULTRASONIC SEED GERMINATION SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR PROCESSING SEEDS AFTER PLANTING INTO THE SOIL [W02017117604A1, published: 06.07.2017], in which the method for treating seeds to reduce the time of seed germination and reduce the time of full maturity of the plant emerging from the seed includes treatment with ultrasound at a frequency of about 15 kHz to about 10 MHz at an energy density of about 0.125 W / cm 2 up to approximately 10 W / cm 2onto a transducer disk of seeds planted in soil or a liquid medium, wherein the ultrasonic treatment includes alternating sawtooth and rectangular signals for alternating periods from about 20 milliseconds to about 80 milliseconds for a time of at least about 1 minute, wherein the device comprises an ultrasonic generator placed on a column above the soil or liquid medium, and an ultrasonic transducer associated with it, with a support underground or immersed in a liquid medium, in which, upon activation of the ultrasonic generator, ultrasound is propagated to the seeds after they have been planted.

[0005] Also known is an ULTRASONIC SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED SEED GERMINATION [JP2015524250A, published: 2015-08-24], characterized by a sonication process that allows seeds to absorb a substance and includes immersing the seeds in water or an aqueous solution of nutrients, creating cavitation in the liquid, introducing acoustic energy into the water with a sufficient frequency and energy density so that the sonicated seed is able to accelerate the rate at which the seed absorbs the substance, wherein the sonication of the seeds is carried out for a time sufficient to cause a change in the sonication process, wherein the material is obtained from the seeds and any plants obtained from them or subsequently.

[0006] A METHOD FOR EXCITING THE REACTION OF A MATERIAL OBJECT TO AN EXTERNAL IMPACT NOT DIRECTED TO IT is known [RU2284513C2, published: 09 / 27 / 2006], which consists in the fact that the material object is represented or implemented in the form of a first resonant system that ensures the existence of a signal described by a soliton solution of a nonlinear equation, its frequency characteristics and orientation in space are determined, a second resonant system is created that ensures the existence of a signal described by the same soliton solution of a nonlinear equation, having the same structural diagram and functional purpose as the first resonant system, the second resonant system is oriented in space in the same way as the first resonant system is oriented and the second resonant system is excited by a breather formed from the formed soliton and instanton, after which an additional impact is produced on the breather with parameters,providing the emergence of cycles of transitions of SOLITONS into the instanton form and back, exciting the reaction of a material object to an external influence not directed at it, wherein the width of the operating frequency band of the second resonant system is provided, and the width of the operating frequency band of the first resonant system is determined or provided to be no less than the width of the spectrum of the breather, wherein the first resonant system is represented or implemented as an electromagnetic system, wherein the second resonant system is implemented in the form of an electromagnetic resonator, the breather is formed as an electromagnetic breather consisting of an electromagnetic soliton and an instanton, and the additional impact on the breather is carried out as an electromagnetic impact.

[0007] The main technical problem with similar solutions is the low efficiency of the claimed technical solutions for stimulating the development and growth of crops, suppressing weeds, pathogens, bacteria, and viruses, and controlling insects due to the inability to determine the natural biological frequencies of these living organisms. Another drawback is the use of piezoceramic emitters, which have low mechanical and electrical strength. The piezoceramic plate experiences heating due to friction between particles within the plate, which leads to a change in the resonant frequency and, consequently, a reduction in efficiency to a minimum.

[0008] The objective of the invention is to eliminate the shortcomings of analogues and create a fundamentally new universal system of devices and technologies for agricultural plant growing based on newly discovered mechanisms of action of modulated ultrasound.

[0009] The technical result of the invention consists in increasing the efficiency of cultivation and the yield of high-quality agricultural crops and the shelf life of the harvest during storage due to newly discovered mechanisms of action of modulated ultrasound with biologically active frequency spectra, which are capable of stimulating the growth and development of plants, inhibiting weeds, mold, fungi, insect pests, aphids (carriers of viruses), parasitic bee mites, etc.

[0010] The said technical result is achieved due to the fact that the method of selective action on plants and living organisms with modulated ultrasound is characterized by the fact that the selective action is carried out by radiation from an emitter of a device for selective action, with the help of which the living organism is treated with a biologically active spectrum, which is modulated ultrasonic radiation consisting of a carrier ultrasonic wave with a frequency of 40 kHz and a background frequency in the form of a modulated signal from a set of solotones, while the determination of the biologically active spectrum for the selectivity of the action is carried out in a device for determining biologically active spectra, where in a closed chamber, made with the possibility of placing a test sample on which the selectivity of the action is determined, emitting signals with the help of emitters, generated with the help of a signal generator and reproducing with the help of a consonance reproduction module,determine the biological frequencies of perception of the test sample and select the spectrum of modulated ultrasonic radiation that resonates with the test sample,

[0011] The said technical result is achieved due to the fact that the device for determining biologically active spectra comprises a carrier frequency signal generator connected to a signal mixer, a playback module for reproducing background frequency solotones connected together with the signal mixer to a mixer of signals and consonances, the mixer of signals and consonances is connected to a signal amplifier, one or more emitters are connected to the output of the signal amplifier, mounted inside a closed chamber configured to accommodate the test sample on which the selectivity of the effect is determined, sensors for measuring the level of the modulated signal and the ultrasonic carrier wave are mounted inside the chamber, electrodes connected to a spectrum analyzer configured to receive the response of the test sample when exposed to modulated ultrasonic radiation from the emitter and to decompose this response into a series of harmonic oscillations,characterized by frequency, phase and amplitude, visualization of these harmonic oscillations, a piezoceramic sensor connected to an oscilloscope, designed with the ability to measure the amplitude and frequency parameters of an electrical signal and determine resonant frequencies.

[0012] In particular, a 40 kHz ultrasonic emitter can be used as a sensor for measuring the level of the ultrasonic carrier wave.

[0013] In particular, the electrodes can be mounted permanently on the bottom of the chamber for contact with the test samples or connected to a flexible conductor for connection to the test sample.

[0014] In particular, a microscope lens, made, for example, electronic, is mounted in the chamber.

[0015] Specifically, a recording module capable of recording a modulated ultrasonic signal can be connected to the spectrum analyzer. Specifically, the emitter can be implemented as one or more piezoelectric ceramic emitters.

[0016] In particular, the emitter can be made in the form of an electromagnetic resonance system and structurally consists of a diffuser and two coils - a resonant coil with a ferrite rod for electromagnetic coupling with the second coil, which is two windings connected in antiphase to overcome the inertia of the diffuser's movement by the forces of attraction and repulsion arising in the antiphase connected coil.

[0017] Brief description of the drawings.

[0018] Fig. 1 shows a block diagram for determining biologically active spectra.

[0019] Fig. 2-4 show structural diagrams for selective exposure to modulated ultrasound.

[0020] Figures 5-13 show examples of biologically active spectra.

[0021] The figures indicate: 1 - signal generators, 2 - signal mixer, 3 - playback modules, 4 - signal and consonance mixer, 5 - signal amplifier, 6 - emitter, 7 - camera, 8 - modulated signal measurement sensor, 9 - ultrasound measurement sensor, 10 - oscilloscope, 11 - spectrum analyzer, 12 - microscope, 13 - recording module, 14 - pulse generator, 15 - modulator generator, 16 - carrier frequency generator, 17 - power amplifier, 18 - power regulator, 19 - altimeter. Implementation of the invention.

[0022] The essence of the invention lies in determining the spectrum of selective radiation consisting of an ultrasonic carrier wave and a modulated signal, which is a phonogram consisting of sound frequencies—solotons (solitons)—and the effect of this radiation spectrum on living organisms, namely plants, fungi, insects, microorganisms, etc., for the purpose of their stimulation or suppression. A soloton (soliton) is a structurally stable solitary wave propagating in a nonlinear medium. Solitons behave like particles (a particle-like wave): when interacting with each other or with certain other disturbances, they are not destroyed, but continue to move, maintaining their structure unchanged. This property can be used to transmit energy over long distances. Furthermore, unlike harmonic waves, classical solitons, in addition to energy transfer, also transfer the energy of matter.

[0023] Each species of plant and living organism has the ability to perceive and respond to specific sound vibrations in a specific spectral range. The author has termed this range "biologically active spectra," which can be determined using a specially designed device—a laboratory. Once a biologically active spectrum is determined, a spectrographic copy of this spectrum can be created on a storage medium and, using the device developed and described in this invention, this spectrum can be reproduced for selective stimulation of plants and / or living organisms.

[0024] The principle of modulated ultrasound is based on the fact that the ultrasound wave creates tension in the protoplasmic flows within the cell's biostructure due to cavitation forces arising from the filling of voids. The modulated signal's energy fills these voids with protoplasmic substances in accordance with the active energies of the modulated signal's solotons, which "build" this structure. The energies of the modulated signal's soloton spectra are capable of altering the biostructure by introducing energies of new properties, qualitative structure, shape, and size.

[0025] Biologically active spectra of a biostructure are determined in a special laboratory and transferred to a memory card using spectrographic copying technology as a phonogram of solotonic consonances for their use in devices for processing biostructures in the following areas:

[0026] - stimulation of growth and development of useful (cultivated) plants;

[0027] - weed suppression;

[0028] - suppression of pathogenic microorganisms, bacteria and viruses;

[0029] - control of insect pests and locust infestations;

[0030] - protection of plants and seeds from mold, fungi, aphids - carriers of nematodes.

[0031] An ultrasonic wave, different in amplitude, represents the total energy W y.B ultrasonic wave and modulated spectrum of signals W M.C , where the wave energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude, i.e. W y.B ~ w A 2Modulated ultrasound radiation is a mechanism for influencing individual bodies, liquids, pathogens, insects, and plants. Every biostructure, substance, and body has its own biologically active frequency spectrum capable of interacting with external energy sources and exhibiting certain properties, such as resonance, which can build and destroy structures under certain conditions. These conditions can include specific frequency spectra, radiation intensity, and signal shape and direction.

[0032] When exposed to an external sound source, ultrasound creates pressure on a biological structure, which can interact with the energy of these sounds and respond with specific properties. Plants, for example, have capillary structures through which nutrients are transported. These nutrients create surface tension forces, which can be complemented by other forces, one of which is sound pressure.

[0033] Surface tension force: p^ = a - nd (2) where o is the surface tension of the liquid, nd is the circumference of the capillary.

[0034] Force F a creates a pressure difference

[0035] . 2tggv in

[0036] Lr = - 71G = - G 3

[0037] Modulated spectra of consonances by the energy of sinusoidal oscillations create additional variable pressure < 4 >

[0038] The negative half-period of sinusoidal oscillations creates a stretching of the biostructure, and the positive half-period creates a compression, creating a force of pressure and displacement of the X-points. п oscillating system with cyclic frequency: ш = 2nf, (5) oscillatory speed: dx

[0039] V = ~ = X т (л) COS )t, (6) and the amplitude of the oscillatory velocity: v m = ых т = 2nfx m (7) Differentiating expression (6) with respect to time, we obtain the acceleration value: a т = ы 2 X т . (8)

[0040] Displacement, velocity and acceleration of the oscillating point X п are periodic functions with period T = — .

[0041] In other words, under the influence of the kinetic energy of the ultrasonic wave, tension is created in the protoplasmic flows in the cell's biostructure due to cavitation forces that arise when gas bubbles "collapse" and the effect of surface tension in the capillaries of the biostructure.

[0042] The kinetic energy of external sound pressure is defined as lV k = -р ■ v , where р

[0043] is the density of the medium, and a is the speed of the wave in air. Then the variable pressure of the sound wave will be P т = 2 / Z, where I is the sound wave flux density, Z is the specific wave resistance.

[0044] The speed of the wave will be V m and I accelerate т = where f is the oscillation frequency, from which determines the acceleration of the energy flow that affects the biostructure.

[0045] The relationship between a wave's energy and its amplitude is quadratic, meaning that the wave's energy is proportional to the square of its amplitude. Therefore, the energy carried by an ultrasonic wave is determined by the amplitude of the displacement, acceleration, and vibrational velocity, Ъ. и t — where Ьт is the displacement amplitude.

[0046] The applied amplitude modulation allows the energy of biologically active spectra to be transferred in the airspace and to affect the biostructure with the total energy value of the carrier ultrasonic wave and the modulated spectrum W fl Under the influence of these energies, controlled processes occur within the biostructure due to the flows of protoplasm, which builds the structure in accordance with the energies of variable pressure P т = l / 2 / Z.

[0047] The principle of modulation, which consists of the ability of an ultrasonic wave to transmit a low-frequency signal an order of magnitude lower in frequency, is known from the general theory of radio engineering, physics, and many years of practice. This experience allows us to create a new direction in agricultural biophysics without pesticides and herbicides, and to solve many environmental and health problems.

[0048] According to calculations, the strength of the ultrasonic wave weakens with increasing distance, that is,

[0049] / = 10e~ 2ах, (8) where 10 is the ultrasound intensity near the source, I is the ultrasound intensity at a distance x from the source, and a is the absorption coefficient.

[0050] The following quantitative energy characteristics were obtained empirically based on experiments:

[0051] - cavitation threshold of plants and fungi - 0.6 W / cm 2 ;

[0052] - stimulation of the development of plant and fungal cells - 0.6 - 1 W / cm 2 ;

[0053] - suppression of biological functions of plant and fungal cells - 1 - 1.8 W / cm 2 ;

[0054] - destruction of cell membranes - 1.8 - 2.5 W / cm 2 ;

[0055] - frequency that promotes the initial development of plants and fungi - 4-9 Hz;

[0056] - stimulating (clock) frequency - 8-16 Hz;

[0057] - background development frequency - 3-4 kHz;

[0058] - depressing frequency - 5-10 kHz.

[0059] When the ultrasonic pressure is above the cavitation threshold, the value of which is from 1.0 to 1.8 W / cm 2 Suppression of biological functions occurs, which allows the total energy of the ultrasonic wave to selectively affect certain types of plants that are weeds.

[0060] One of the most promising and environmentally friendly methods of controlling insect pests is a method based on the use of ultrasonic waves to deliver damaging pulses through surface friction within the insect's biological structure. When surface friction occurs within the insect's biological structure, the temperature rises to 80-90°C, killing the insect.

[0061] For insects, ultrasonic wave interference plays a significant role at the interface between the air and the insect's body. Perpendicularly directed radiation creates a superposition of the suppressing and reflected waves, creating a standing wave. In addition to the longitudinal wave, a transverse wave is generated within the insect's body, which propagates twice as slowly. The difference in speeds within the insect's body causes internal friction.

[0062] The mechanism by which cavitation forces of bioresonance arise is such that the negative half-period of the damaging pulse stretches, while the positive half-period compresses the insect's biostructure, which causes its destruction. The second factor that destroys the insect's biostructure is the difference in the propagation velocities of the transverse and longitudinal waves within the insect's body, which creates internal friction, increasing the temperature and causing the insect to "cook" from the inside. The third factor is surface friction, which occurs at the interface between two media—the air and the insect's body. The difference in energy propagation velocities causes surface friction, which increases the temperature on the insect's surface, leading to its death.

[0063] The frequency "swing" is achieved using a frequency sweep generator. Each insect species has its own bioresonance frequency, and when these frequencies coincide with the "swing" frequency, a resonance occurs within the insect's biostructure, leading to the generation of cavitation forces that destroy the insect's biostructure.

[0064] To determine the biologically active spectra of living organisms, a specially designed device is used, where, using several sources of sound vibrations, a radiation spectrum is selected whose waves resonate with a specific type of living organism (insect, plant).

[0065] The structural diagram of the device for determining biologically active spectra is shown in Fig. 1

[0066] The device for determining biologically active spectra contains at least two signal generators 1 with a variable frequency from 1 Hz to 150 kHz, connected to a signal mixer 2, reproduction modules 3 for reproducing solotones, connected together with the signal mixer 2 to a signal and consonance mixer 4. The signal and consonance mixer 4 is connected to a signal amplifier 5. One or more emitters 6 are connected to the output of the signal amplifier 5. The emitter 6 is mounted inside a chamber 7 closed on all sides, designed with the possibility of placing test samples (plants, seeds, insects, etc.).

[0067] Inside the chamber 7, sensors for measuring the level of the modulated signal 8 and ultrasound 9 are also mounted. As a sensor for measuring ultrasound 9, an ultrasonic emitter at 40 kHz can be used to measure the level (power) of the carrier ultrasonic wave.

[0068] Electrodes connected to spectrum analyzer 11 are mounted inside the chamber. The electrodes can be mounted permanently on the bottom of chamber 7 for contact with the test samples or connected to a flexible conductor for connection to the test sample.

[0069] The oscilloscope 10 is designed with the ability to measure the amplitude and frequency parameters of an electrical signal and determine resonant frequencies, the electrodes of which are connected to a piezoceramic sensor (not shown in the figures) mounted inside chamber 7. The piezoceramic sensor, upon receiving ultrasonic radiation from emitter 6, converts it into an electrical signal, which is displayed on the oscilloscope 10.

[0070] Spectrum analyzer 11 is designed with the ability to receive the response of the test sample when exposed to modulated ultrasonic radiation from emitter 6 and to decompose this response into series of harmonic oscillations characterized by frequency, phase and amplitude, and to visualize these harmonic oscillations.

[0071] In addition, a microscope lens 12, made, for example, electronic, is mounted in chamber 7.

[0072] In one embodiment, a recording module 13 may be connected to the spectrum analyzer 11, which is capable of recording a modulated ultrasonic signal generated by signal generators 1 and playback modules 3 after mixing them in signal mixer 2 and signal and consonance mixer 4.

[0073] To determine resonant frequencies, the test sample (insect, plant, seed, fungus, etc.) is placed inside chamber 7. The electrodes of oscilloscope 10 are placed in contact with the test sample. The device for determining biologically active spectra is turned on.

[0074] When studying signals of various frequencies generated by signal generators 1, consonances reproduced by reproduction modules 3 are measured, recorded and observed using an oscilloscope 10, a spectrum analyzer 11 and a microscope 12 for the reaction of an insect, processes occurring in a plant, fungus, seeds, etc., determining its biological frequencies of perception.

[0075] Using spectrum analyzer 11, the response of the resonant frequencies generated by signal generators 1 is scanned. These frequencies are selected as the primary frequencies. Background frequencies are selected from the recording library of playback modules 3, for example, solfeggio recordings, and played back using playback modules 3. The selection is based on the maximum amplitude of the consonants displayed on spectrum analyzer 11.

[0076] The frequency values ​​are recorded in the spectrum analyzer 11 to form the spectrum of the modulated infrasound signal and, after obtaining the biologically active spectrum, the received signal is recorded using the recording module 13 onto a storage medium for further use in devices for selective exposure to modulated ultrasound on living organisms, as well as for the formation of a library of biologically active signal spectra for each of the test samples.

[0077] For example, for plants and fungi, the primary frequencies generated by the first signal generator 1 may range from 4 to 30 Hz, while the second signal generator 1 may range from 1 kHz to 3 kHz. The background frequency range is composed of presets reproduced using playback modules 3, for example, frequencies of 174, 432, 528, 741, and 1111 Hz, and is also selected based on the maximum amplitude of the consonants using spectrum analyzer 11.

[0078] Radiation used to affect plants or fungi of the same species or family varies slightly in frequency, but more careful selection allows for the enhancement of specific plant and fungal qualities and opens up new possibilities for their breeding. For example, frequencies of 285, 528, and 1111 Hz can facilitate the development of new grains by transforming endosperm gluten proteins into a new, safe structure through the wave genetics of modulated spectra.

[0079] With the frequencies of 528, 963, 1111 Hz, it is possible to transform coumarin-containing hogweed into useful feed, and with the frequencies from 8 to 10 kHz it is possible to get rid of Sosnowsky's hogweed.

[0080] For example, thistle, a perennial weed, is treated in the fall, when the sugar-rich sap is released. The thistle is exposed to modulated ultrasonic radiation with an intensity of up to 2.5 W / cm. 2 (approximately 2.2 W at the device output) at a frequency of 40 kHz and a modulating signal spectrum of 170 Hz, 400 Hz, 700 Hz and 1200 Hz with a frequency deviation of + / - 100 Hz, a rupture of the lysosomal cells of the biostructure occurs, directed at the root and the thistle dies during the winter period.

[0081] Biologically active spectra of 170, 400, 700 and 1200 Hz are suitable for wintering weeds such as field pennycress and ivy-leaved sparrow, which are also treated in the fall.

[0082] Field bindweed is treated during warming to +10 - +30°C by depleting it through repeated treatments of the outer part of the weed with selected frequencies of 400 Hz, 700 Hz, 1500 Hz, and 2000 Hz. A frequency of 2000 Hz can negatively impact nightshade crops grown near the bindweed, so it can be reduced to 1800 Hz.

[0083] To stimulate the growth and development of grain crops, frequencies of 2400 Hz, 2500 Hz, 2700 Hz, and 3200 Hz with a frequency deviation of + / - 200 Hz can be used. Grain treatment over large areas can be carried out aerially, for example, using a quadcopter equipped with a selective treatment device. For smaller areas, such as garden plots and greenhouses, a hand-held selective treatment device can be used.

[0084] In 2024, the inventor developed a series of devices for selective modulated ultrasound treatment, using experimental data obtained using the above-described device for determining biologically active spectra, for use against plants, fungi, insects, viruses, and bacteria. The device operates by delivering modulated ultrasound radiation to the target site. The device for selective modulated ultrasound treatment is essentially a modulated signal clock generator, or a modulator-oscillator, built on transistors with differentiating circuits for "swinging" the carrier frequency and an amplifier on a galvanically coupled microcircuit, which functions as an ultrasonic frequency modulator. Frequency deviation is determined by the amplitude-frequency modulation level of the modulator on the transistor, which is half the power of the carrier frequency generator.By discharging the capacitors of the generator-modulator, interference of “floating frequencies” is achieved, which makes it possible to bring any living organism into resonance.

[0085] The device for selective exposure to modulated ultrasound structurally comprises a pulse generator 14 (see Fig. 2) configured to generate pulses with a given amplitude and / or frequency. A generator-modulator 15 is connected to the output of the pulse generator 14, configured to form frequency oscillations with a frequency of 400-500 Hz by acting on a signal on a carrier frequency generated by a carrier frequency generator 16 connected to the output of the generator-modulator 15. The carrier frequency is set to a value of 40 kHz. A carrier frequency power amplifier 17 is connected to the output of the carrier frequency generator 16, configured to amplify the output signal to a level depending on the distance from the emitter 6 to the object of exposure. For example, amplifying the output signal to 95 decibels with a power of up to 10 watts allows for the treatment of objects at a distance of 1.5 - 5 meters.

[0086] Pulse generator 14, modulator generator 15, carrier frequency generator 16, and carrier frequency power amplifier 17 are mounted on one or more printed circuit boards mounted inside the housing. Emitter 6 is mounted in a separate compartment within the housing with an external outlet.

[0087] The device for selective exposure is powered by a power source (not shown in the figures), mounted inside the housing or connected externally. The power source may be either a battery for autonomous operation of the device or a power supply unit operating from an industrial AC power source. The device for selective exposure to modulated ultrasound may be designed for portable use, for example, as a hand-held flashlight, where at least one emitter 6 is mounted in place of the reflector. In one embodiment, the device may include an ultraviolet radiation source (not shown in the figures) capable of emitting in the 180-240 nm range.

[0088] In various embodiments, the device for selective action is structurally adapted to the tasks.

[0089] In one embodiment of the selective stimulation device, pulse generator 14 may be implemented as playback module 3 (see Fig. 3) with an interface connector for connecting a storage medium containing a background frequency series recorded by recording module 13, which is connected to spectrum analyzer 11. In this case, playback module 3 converts the background frequency series recorded on the storage medium into an electrical pulse signal with a specified amplitude and frequency and feeds it to the input of generator-modulator 15.

[0090] The device can be used to suppress weeds, stimulate the growth and development of crops, treat crops from harmful insects and pests, including locusts, fungi, mold, and can be implemented in a portable version for manual treatment of crops and for treating large areas of crops from the air using, for example, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), wherein in the embodiment of the device on the UAV, the flight altitude of the UAV can be initially set depending on the signal power at the output of the power amplifier 17, and in another embodiment, the signal power at the output of the power amplifier 17 can be automatically adjusted depending on the change in the altitude of the UAV using the power regulator 18 (see Fig. 4), wherein the altitude data is obtained using the altimeter 19 connected to the power regulator 18.

[0091] To selectively target insects, the generator-modulator 14 in the device is designed as a microcircuit, such as the ISD1820PY, with a memory cell (RAM) designed to record 300-600 Hz using a microphone connected to its input. The 300-600 Hz range captures the vibration frequencies of virtually all insects and is isolated using a differentiating circuit to filter out extraneous sounds. The signal is amplified and stored in the RAM and reproduced as a modulating signal. Direct modulation of the amplified signal is possible with multidirectional emitter 6. When the emitted frequency and the vibration frequency of insect wings coincide, resonance occurs, generating cavitation forces that destroy the insect's wing. Most insects sense the emitted signal and perceive its repellent effect.The device can also be used for other purposes if the necessary frequencies for creating bioresonance are recorded into the microcircuit's memory, for example, for pathogenic organisms or frequencies for pollinating crops in greenhouses.

[0092] Protection against bacteria and viruses using a selective action device is based on the generation of cavitation forces within the bacterium or virus, capable of destroying the cell's biostructure. A secondary cause of microorganism or virus death is surface friction, which occurs due to the difference in ultrasound propagation speeds at the air-microorganism interface, accompanied by a significant heat release of up to 300°C. Furthermore, a source of ultraviolet radiation in the 180-200 nm range also has a negative effect on viruses and bacteria. The device can be used against small lice, ticks, and other pathogenic insects. The device is effective at a distance of 0.5-1 meter. The modulation frequency is up to 4 kHz, and the manipulation frequency is 1 / 3 of a second. The radiation power is 2 W / cm2. Frequency deviation can be + / - 500 Hz, and for all types of viruses, + / - 100 Hz.

[0093] A stationary device for selective treatment can be used to treat large areas without the use of aircraft. It is known that the reflection of ultrasonic waves is similar to the reflection of light, as it also obeys the laws of wave reflection, where the angle of incidence of the sound beam is equal to the angle of reflection. Therefore, modulated ultrasonic reflectors are used to treat large areas (large volumes). Taking advantage of this property, acoustic reflectors placed along the path of ultrasonic radiation from the device are used for large-area treatment. An acoustic signal detector is used to determine the level of the emitted or reflected signal to adjust the device and reflectors for efficient use of modulated ultrasonic energy.

[0094] The detector is a resonant amplifier with an ultrasonic radiation sensor and indicators, such as light and / or sound, capable of indicating (notifying) the maximum / minimum values ​​of the emitted or reflected signal. Schematically, the detector consists of two stages: a preamplifier and a power amplifier.

[0095] The setup method involves experimentally selecting the reflector's angle and its maximum reflection onto the adjacent reflector based on detector readings. Re-radiators, which can be used to create a uniform signal level throughout the entire garden bed, can provide good results. Re-radiators can be installed immediately adjacent to the reflectors on both sides. Glass can be used as a reflector material.

[0096] The emitter 6 can be made in the form of one or several piezoceramic emitters.

[0097] In one embodiment, emitter 6 can be designed as an electromagnetic resonant system and consists of a diffuser and two coils: a resonant coil with a ferrite rod for electromagnetic coupling with the second coil, which consists of two windings connected in antiphase to overcome the diffuser's inertia by attractive and repulsive forces, similar to the dynamic hysteresis of the electromagnetic Lenz forces that arise in an antiphase coil. The ferrite rod can be used to set the optimal resonant frequency, and fine-tuning to resonance is achieved using electronic tuning, such as a KV115V varicap connected parallel to the inductor coil. During the positive and negative half-periods, energies are generated in the inductor coil, creating magnetic fields.One energy flows into the second inductor, and then the second energy flows into the first inductor, resulting in rapid attraction and repulsion of the coil glued to the diffuser with a frequency of 40 kHz. The inventor constructed the described emitter 6 as an electromagnetic resonance system, in which the coils, closed to each other, are mounted at a distance of 3 mm (the maximum possible diffuser travel). Testing demonstrated the feasibility of the technical solution and its industrial applicability.

[0098] In Fig.5-13 there are shown examples of biologically active spectra obtained with the help of the device for determination of biologically active spectra, tested later with the help of the device for selective action of modulated ultrasound and showing their real work as a means for suppressing weeds, insects, stimulating the growth and development of cultivated plants, where: in Fig.5 there is shown a biologically active spectrum for suppressing Sosnowsky's hogweed, in Fig.6 - a biologically active spectrum for stimulating the growth and development of legumes, in Fig.7 - a biologically active spectrum for stimulating the growth and development of bulbous plants, in Fig.8 - a biologically active spectrum for stimulating the growth and development of potatoes, in Fig.9 - a biologically active spectrum for suppressing perennial wintering thistle, field pennycress, ivy-leaved sparrow, in Fig.10 - a biologically active spectrum for suppressing field bindweed with the addition of a frequency of 2000 Hz, in Fig.11 - biologically active spectrum for stimulating the growth and development of grain crops, in Fig. 12 - biologically active spectrum for combating aphids, in Fig. 13 - biologically active spectrum for combating flying insects.

[0099] Stimulating plant development and growth using modulated ultrasound waves at a biologically active frequency promotes optimal physiological processes, improves nutrient absorption from the soil, and enhances plant defense mechanisms. This leads to increased yields and product quality, reduced losses from diseases and pests, and a reduced need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

[0100] Similarly, exposing weeds to modulated ultrasound waves at a biologically active frequency inhibits their physiological processes. By absorbing large amounts of water and nutrients from the soil, weeds inhibit the growth and development of crops, reducing their yields. Growing significantly faster and outgrowing crops, they severely shade and choke out crops. Weeds such as field bindweed and bindweed cause lodging of crops, weakening photosynthesis and soil microbial activity. Suppressing weeds eliminates these processes and increases yields and product quality, reduces losses from diseases and pests, and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

[0101] Rodents damage a huge number of cultivated and wild plants. They remove freshly sown seeds from the soil, damage seedlings and transplants, and inflict particularly severe damage on ripening crops, as well as during storage in stacks, haystacks, during threshing, and in barns. In fields, they consume grass shoots and grain seedlings. Inhibiting rodents with modulated ultrasound waves at a biologically active frequency drives them away, thereby eliminating their damage. The positive effect of biologically active frequencies on entomophagous insects that cross-pollinate agricultural crops not only increases yields but also significantly improves the quality of the seeds and fruits grown.

[0102] The negative inhibitory effect of biologically active frequency on polyphagous insects, which have a significant impact on crop yields because they feed on various plant species and can spread rapidly, causing significant damage to crops, helps reduce their negative impact on cultivated crops. The negative inhibitory (destructive) effect of biologically active frequency on microorganisms that negatively impact crop yields helps eliminate or reduce the likelihood of soil contamination by pathogens such as Penicillium and Fusarium Aspergillus, eliminating the use of chemical seed dressings and herbicides during the growing season.
