استخدام الإشعاع في الحجر الصحي على الحشرات

Abstract EN

With world trade in agricultural commodities increasing, the introduction of exotic insects into new areas, where they become pests, will increase.

The development and application of quarantine treatments or other mitigation approaches to prevent pest introduction in traded commodities raise many research and regulatory issues.

The probit 9 standard for quarantine treatment efficacy has given way to risk based alternatives.

Development of generic treatments to control broad groups of insects or insects in all commodities can expedite new trade in agricultural products.

An innovative technique using radio-frequency (RF) and Microwave (MW) heating treatments was proposed as an alternative quarantine treatment in nuts.

The practical future application in industry should be possible after solving their problems of high cost, non-uniform heating and quality damage
