Method for control and destruction of agricultural pests by coherent electromagnetic excitation

摘要

A method for the control and destruction of agricultural pest organisms comprising generating a selected EM radiation at a plurality of different frequencies, pulse widths, and intensities for application on pest organisms, coupling the EM radiation to selected cellular organelles, organelle membranes, or cell membranes of the pest organism, disrupting an ionic balance within the cellular organelles, organelle membranes, or cell membranes, and initiating an increase in cation concentration within the membranes or organelles. The cation concentration is sustained until the pest organism is destroyed. A system and apparatus are also disclosed where an oscillator operably coupled to a broad band linear amplifier generate selected EM radiation frequencies to be applied to pest organisms. The oscillator is preferably a frequency-hopping RF oscillator and is communicatively linked to an antenna coupled to a reflector and shield for focusing the EM radiation.
