A soil beating apparatus comprising: (i) a frame configured to he detachably mounted to a support structure of a moveable gantry., (ii) an exhaust hood disposed in combination with the frame and having a shield directing heat downwardly toward a soil material to be heat treated, (iii) a plurality of plates each an end portion projecting downwardly from the exhaust hood toward the soil material and configured to be lowered into the soil material by the frame at a predefined depth relative to the ground plane of the soil material, and (iv) a burner disposed in combination with the exhaust hood and in fluid communication with a first supply of fuel and oxidizer, the burner configured to combust the first supply of fuel and oxidizer to beat each of the plates. The plurality of plates are oriented along a direction of motion of the moveable gantry to transfer heat into the soil material at the predefined depth to thermally heat-treat the soil material.

The present application is directed to a system and device for attraction of pests. This system comprises CO.sub.2-releasing microorganisms, and also nutrients specific to these microorganisms, and this system, or the device, comprises one or more biodegradable biopolymers and allows CO.sub.2, and optionally other attractants, to be released over a period of more than 20 days. Furthermore, the present application provides for the use of such a system or such a device for the attraction of pests, more particularly of maize or potato pests, such as larvae of the Western corn rootworm or wire worm. The present application is also directed, lastly, to methods for attracting pests, more particularly pests of maize or potatoes, such as the larvae of the Western corn rootworm, or for wire worms, with the systems or devices of the invention being positioned in the immediate vicinity of the plants, but preferably not directly on the plants.

A work management system includes an estimation unit that estimates a performed work amount based on a position of a portion of a work object to which a fluid is estimated to be blown while the work is performed. In addition, the work management system includes a first correction unit that compares a target passing position through which a fluid blowing device passes while the work is performed with a position of the fluid blowing device to determine whether the fluid blowing device has passed through the target passing position while the work is performed, and executes a first correction process of reducing the work amount estimated by the estimation unit when it is determined that the fluid blowing device has not passed through the target passing position.

A portable pesticide application equipment with accurate application, which includes a pesticide tank. Rollers are arranged at the bottom of the pesticide tank. An inclined pesticide guide plate is arranged below the filter. A side connector is arranged at one side of the pesticide tank. The side connector is connected with a long hose. The long hose is connected with a pesticide discharging device. The pesticide discharging device includes a pesticide control box, two sides of which are hinged with a first iron handle and a second iron handle. A first nozzle is connected with the bottom end of the first iron handle while a second nozzle is connected with the bottom end of the second iron handle. The upper end of the first iron handle is inserted into a first support rod while the upper end of the second iron handle is inserted into a second support rod.
