ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF FOOD PROTECTION

The paper presents the research results on the development of microencapsulated attractants capable to dose an active ingredient at a predetermined concentration and time schedule. This feature allows them to solve the problem of long-term isolation in doses that ensure effective involvement of insect pests in pheromone traps for their subsequent destruction. The data of biological tests show that with the same application rate by microencapsulation the duration of attractants effect can be increased several times. This provides a reduction in the consumption of pheromones to avoid environmental implications associated with their adverse effects.
