RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MITIGATING INFESTATION IN AGRICULTURAL CROPS

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a radio frequency system for mitigating infestation in agricultural crops, as well as a method of an application of the system. The system comprises a treatment apparatus for treating the agricultural crops with radio frequency radiation. The system also comprises an outlet feeder for feeding the agricultural crops into the treatment apparatus. The agricultural crops flow vertically through the treatment apparatus after being fed therein. An advantage of the present disclosure is that the agricultural crops are continuously flowing through the system, such that the agricultural crops are subject to radio frequency radiation from the treatment apparatus as they vertically flow through the treatment apparatus. Another advantage is that there are lesser spaces within the agricultural crops due to the vertical flow, leading to more efficient use of the radio frequency radiation from the treatment apparatus.
