Abstract

At present, despite the serious historical experience of locust control, these insects continue to cause serious damage to plantings and crops, both in our country and around the world. In world practice, monitoring of the emergence and movement of locust swarms across the territories and their destruction has been strengthened. But approaches to the extermination of insects remain the same as in the 20th century - the use of mechanical and chemical methods in the destruction of larvae, the use of pesticides and biological agents in the control of adults. All these options are characterized by the decrease in efficiency, are not environmentally safe, and insect resistance to constantly used pesticides and biological products is observed. The revealed fact of the presence of the large number of protein components in the body of the locust allows to speak about the need to use insects, after processing them, for livestock, poultry and fish feed, and studies reveal very good results in their fattening. Therefore, from the point of view of high technological efficiency, environmental and food safety, the most interesting option is the destruction of locusts using high-voltage electrical impulses. The use of electrical impulse technologies can be implemented both to combat larvae and to destroy adult individuals that can move along the surface of the soil cover. The general vision of such technical solutions has already been described in the patent literature and even implemented in practice, but often these are purely design options that are not consistent with serious laboratory and field studies. Therefore, the integrated approach, containing an experimental study of the operation of installations and the reaction of locust insects to the proposed regimes, will allow developing technical installations, identifying the most efficient and energy-saving ones of them, characterized by high technological performance and minimal environmental damage.
