RESEARCH ON PROGRAM AND METHODOLOGY FOR LABORATORY AND FIELD STUDIES OF PEST INSECTS GATHERING MACHINE

Abstract

The paper presents a program and methodology for conducting experiments, including the complex of particular laboratory and field researches on the definition of qualitative and energy indices of the insect pests collecting machine implementation. The experimental studies were focused on the argumentation of the production experiment scheme, performing a multifactorial experiment, reviling the dependence of the insect pests collecting and plant damaging coefficients on the amount of the air rarity, the injection rates, the unit velocity, the disclosure angle of the guides, the height of the air intakes location, and the ascertainment of their rational values. In order to examine the functioning of the experimental pattern, in accordance with existing methods, the field probations were conducted.
