Microwave Protection of Grain Crops at Agricultural Enterprises
Short Summary
The combined technology of fumigation of grain and grain products has been developed to seed disinfection from pest vermin and micro flora in laboratory conditions. It is well known that pest vermin devour approximately 60% of grain crops. Moreover the viable products of the above vermin that remain in the grains lead to sufficient change for the worse of grain quality and grain products and various human and animal illnesses.
At present the solution of this problem consist in the chemical treatment of grain products. The high cost chemical reagents fosgen-type must be used. However this technology has the negative influence on environment and small quantities of chemical reagents remain in the grain. The consequent stratification of demands to grain, grain products and feedstock quality insists us to investigate the ecologically clean technologies of crops protection at the agricultural enterprises of Ukraine and in future to recommend these technologies and support facilities for utilization in the other countries.
The teams of Kharkov Aviation Institute, NSC Kharkov Institute of technical physics and Biological Institute the advanced, effective and ecologically clean technology for grain fumigation investigated. This technology bases of microwave irradiation of grains and parallel vacumization for combined demonstration stand was developed.
The complete ecological safety and cleansers of the obtained food products was shown by special test. The specific regimes of grain-grow increasing was observed.

This project was supported by Scientific and Technology Center of Container, based on agreement between Ukrainian and US Governments.
