An electric-shock soil treatment apparatus and method for treating soil. The electric shock soil treatment apparatus can be an attachment that can either be easily retrofitted or designed into existing and new agricultural equipment. The system can provide a sustainable solution for stabilizing nitrogen fertilizers. The electric shock soil treatment system also provides other effective alternative solutions that would benefit from reduced soil microbial activity or from additional weed control.

In some implementations, a trap to capture and kill a pest may include a circuit. The circuit may receive sensor data from a sensor and determine that a pest has entered the trap. The circuit may cause a shutter inside the trap to move from an approximately horizontal position to an approximately vertical position, thereby causing a portion of a door of a container located inside the trap to come in contact with adhesive on an outer surface of the container to prevent the pest from leaving the container. Substantially simultaneously with the shutter moving, the circuit may provide electricity to two conductive plates located on in a inner bottom surface of the container, thereby causing the electricity to pass through the pest. The circuit may send a wireless notification message, indicating that the pest was captured in the container, over a wireless network to a computing device.

Methods, structures, devices and systems are disclosed for solarizing soil using a moveable optical focusing array. In one example, an apparatus to solarize soil from a moveable platform includes a vehicle, an array of mirrors located on the exterior of the vehicle, in which the mirrors are steerable to control the orientation of the mirrors to direct sunlight to a spot on soil that generates heat to a solarize the soil, and a sensor coupled to the vehicle to measure the temperature of the soil, in which the orientation of the mirrors is determined based at least in part on the measured temperature to control the temperature of the soil.
