A soil disinfector comprising an insulating endless belt with at least one row of positive electrodes and at least one row of negative electrodes mounted on the endless belt. The electrodes are mounted with their heads on the inside of the belt and their bodies pointing outward from the belt, the electrodes being configured to penetrate the soil. The electrodes take their power from a power source, the power source being connected to the electrodes via sets of rows of rollers and sets of rows of stationary conductive contact plates, at least one set of each being positive and at least one set of each being negative. The soil disinfector also has sensors to detect soil conditions and a processor to alter power applied to the soil based on the soil conditions.

The treatment unit includes an evaporation device including a gas circulation pipe, and a material with a large specific surface filling an evaporation section of the circulation pipe; a device for circulating the gas through the circulation pipe; a liquid impregnating the material with a large specific surface, the liquid containing at least one product or a mixture of volatile biocide and/or phytoprotective products, with a boiling temperature between 130 and 280° C., the material with a large specific surface having a liquid retention capacity greater than 50 L/m.sup.3 of material with a large specific surface at 20° C.; a recharging device, arranged to re-impregnate the material with a large specific surface with liquid or to replace the spent material with a large specific surface with a new material with a large specific surface impregnated with liquid.

The invention relates to a method and terminal equipment for planting vegetables on internet rental land, thereby enabling land lessees with idle land to cooperate with urban people seeking to eat green vegetables which are economical and practical, on the one hand, meeting the requirement that urban people eat green vegetables which are practical and reliable, on the other hand, enabling idle land to be reasonably utilized, especially wasting land in rural areas, and bringing considerable benefits to the land lessees; meanwhile, along with the popularization and application of the method and the terminal equipment, a large number of employment posts can be brought to rural areas, and the economic development of the rural areas can be promoted.

A system for exterminating insects includes a housing, a fluid-heating assembly housed within the housing that includes one or more fuel reserves, one or more burners that receive fuel from the one or more fuel reserves, and a heat exchanger defining a sinuous flow path positioned to receive heat from the one or more burners, a fluid inlet line coupled to the housing and fluidly connectable to a residential hose bib, the fluid inlet line fluidly coupled to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger, such that fluid is directed from the fluid inlet line directly to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger, and a fluid outlet line coupled to the housing and fluidly coupled to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger such that fluid is directed from the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger directly through the fluid outlet line.

A mole eradication system having a sleeve having a distal end for positioning in the ground, a rod having a distal end axially extending at least partially within said sleeve, at least one sharp connected near the distal end of said rod and radially extending from said rod, said sleeve and said rod axially movable in a first direction with respect to each other to radially expose said at least one sharp near a distal end of said sleeve.

A method for precisely applying chemicals targeted by digital maps developed from remotely sensed data, including: obtaining EOS data through a growing season of a crop growing in a field; processing the EOS data to reflectance values, removing error-inducing effects of atmospheric alteration from the processed EOS data; calculating from the processed EOS data a crop performance index that indicates one or more poor performing area of the field; generating one or more maps of the crop performance index to allow a user to determine whether each of the one or more poor performing areas of the field are due to biological pests instead of topographic or soil constraints in discrete locations of the field, guiding the user to the one or more poor performing areas of the field using the one or more maps to allow the user to scout the one or more poor performing areas of the field to confirm and identify the biological pests; and providing guidance for a chemical application at the one or more poor performing areas that were confirmed as having the biological pests. Other embodiments are provided.
