Abstract:There is growing evidence that low-cost open-source 3-D printers can reduce costs by enabling distributed manufacturing of substitutes for both specialty equipment and conventional mass-manufactured products. The rate of 3-D printable designs under open licenses is growing exponentially and there are already hundreds of designs applicable to small-scale organic farming. It has also been hypothesized that this technology could assist sustainable development in rural communities that rely on small-scale organic agriculture. To gauge the present utility of open-source 3-D printers in this organic farm context both in the developed and developing world, this paper reviews the current open-source designs available and evaluates the ability of low-cost 3-D printers to be effective at reducing the economic costs of farming. This study limits the evaluation of open-source 3-D printers to only the most-developed fused filament fabrication of the bioplastic polylactic acid (PLA). PLA is a strong biodegradable and recyclable thermoplastic appropriate for a range of representative products, which are grouped into five categories of prints: hand tools, food processing, animal management, water management and hydroponics. The advantages and shortcomings of applying 3-D printing to each technology are evaluated. The results show a generalizable technical viability and economic benefit to adopting open-source 3-D printing for any of the technologies, although the individual economic impact is highly dependent on needs and frequency of use on a specific farm. Capital costs of a 3-D printer may be saved from on-farm printing of a single advanced analytical instrument in a day or replacing hundreds of inexpensive products over a year. In order for the full potential of open-source 3-D printing to be realized to assist organic farm economic resiliency and self-sufficiency, future work is outlined in five core areas: designs of 3-D printable objects, 3-D printing materials, 3-D printers, software and 3-D printable repositories.

“…In the process of pesticide removal in the field, chemical control and biological control methods are commonly used. However, unreasonable application of chemical pesticides has resulted in serious environmental pollution [2] , which affects the quality and output of vegetables to varying degrees [3] . B. thuringiensis is an effective microbial insecticide in biological control.…”

[Objective]Researching the effects of different concentrations of B. thuringiensis and B. bassiana mixed liquor on the mortality of Plutella xylostella larvae in Jiamusi.[Methods] Employing PBS buffer diluted the B. thuringiensis and B. bassiana into different concentrations of suspension, the mixture of B. thuringiensis and B. bassiana was mixed into seven different concentration gradients by orthogonal analysist, and determination the mortality of P. xylostella larvae at different concentrations, and then screened more suitable larval LD50 proportion and concentration.[Results] According to the observation and analysis, when the ratio of B. thuringiensis and B. bassiana was 3: 1 in 96h, the P. xylostella larvae mortality rate reached 72%, among them, the median lethal rate of larvae in 10 -1~1 0 -6 g/mL was higher.[Conclusion] The lethal effect of each mixture on the diamondback moth larvae was different. When the mixture ratio of B. thuringiensis and B. bassiana was 3: 1 and the concentration was 10 -1~1 0 -6 g/mL, the lethal effect on insect larvae was obvious.

“…Section analysis of the mosquito eye conducted by Kay et al revealed its sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) rays [6]. Shimoda et al used light-emitting diode (LED) light sources with low energy consumption and specific wavelengths for pest control [7]. Field and laboratory investigations into mosquito response to artificial light have shown that blue and green light are often more attractive than light in the yellow-orange and red regions of the visible spectrum [8].…”

Abstract:In this study, our proposed ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED) mosquito-trapping lamp is designed to control diseases brought by insects such as mosquitoes. In order to enable the device to efficiently catch mosquitoes in a wider area, a secondary freeform lens (SFL) is designed for UV LED. The lens is mounted on a 3 W UV LED light bar as a mosquito-trapping lamp of the new UV LED light bar module to achieve axially symmetric light intensity distribution. The special SFL is used to enhance the trapping capabilities of the mosquito-trapping lamp. The results show that when the secondary freeform surface lens is applied to the experimental outdoor UV LED mosquito-trapping lamp, the trapping range can be expanded to 100π·m 2 and the captured mosquitoes increased by about 300%.
