Soon even the UMTS 900 MHz Microwave
For once the microwaves are good for health ... but the palm trees. The palm trees in the Mediterranean are facing a serious plant health problems a few years. Without trees, probably the landscape of many hot places will change forever. Far be it from state a state of emergency plant in Italy (where the palms are not native plants 1
and have no interest in food), we see what is destroying the trees and how the microwave can save.
The Rinchophorus ferrugineus, known by the common name of Red Palm Weevil, is the prolific insect beetle that lays eggs of many palm trees growing the PA, the most succulent and nutritious - especially Phoenix canariensis but we have seen that it can also parasitize cane sugar and agave American 2 , species that have tissues soft and rich in sugar. The larvae, thanks to diet so rich in just 55 days is born in, or close in an impenetrable cocoon to poison and waiting to trasfrormarsi in adult insect, which flies to other palms. In addition, there are no predators of this insect in the Mediterranean, as happens with many exotic species
.
This species is native to Southwest Asia and Malaysia, where he was made responsible for the extermination of crops Cocos nucifera (coconut palm). Over 80 years, the insect has been reported in the UAE, which, following the sale of mature palm trees infected for Italian villas and English, has spread to Europe and the Middle East. addition to the villas, is in danger the production of dates (Phoenix Dactilyfera ). We see what enters the microwave in all this: although it seems unassailable, the red weevil is an animal and is composed mostly of water and protein. The palm is rich in water, but, being a plant, its structure is built with bricks more robust protein, or the cellulose . This robustness is the only force of the palm trees in the war. So if you send a microwave beam in the heart of palm, they kill the insects inside, but the resistant plant tissues. This idea was developed by a Company plant that produces microwave. The microwaves penetrate where the poisons did not come. The new system, which does not pollute
, called ECOPALM . Perhaps in the end we are given a binge of baked
beetles.
But above all it remains to ask whether human beings are made of cellulose or protein, and if the wi-fi antennas microwave in our homes can be left undisturbed. 1 with the exception of Chamaerops humilis, which is not attached
