Method for antifragile and sustainable pest control by innovative device imposing one or more physical mortality factor(s)

<p>Method for antifragile and sustainable pest or weed control by innovative device imposing one or more physical mortality factor(s)</p> <p>Here we consider a mechanical device generating an airstream with a proper shape, fast enough and with a mass proper to cause the impairment on the target organism(s) and eventually the death of the organism by direct or indirect action.</p> <p>The stream will act on:</p> <ol> <li>the organism biotope to impair or destroy it;</li> <li>the organism biocoenosis to impair or destroy it;</li> <li>all the organism niche&nbsp;to impairing or destroy it;</li> <li>the organism itself, dislodging it from its niche enough to cause its impairment and eventually the death by direct or indirect action;</li> <li>the organism itself, directly injuring it&nbsp;and causing&nbsp;its impairment and the death by indirect action,&nbsp;ultimately;</li> <li>the organism itself, directly injuring it and causing&nbsp;its impairment and the death by direct action,&nbsp;ultimately;</li> <li>the organism itself, killing it by immediate action;</li> </ol> <p>The mechanical device will have an engine capable of moving a bladed device in the form of a turbine, a propeller, or other to force a proper air mass with an appropriate speed to produce a thrust effective for&nbsp;the&nbsp;use.</p> <p>One or more nozzle(s) will direct one or more air streams to the target pest.</p> <p>Purely mechanical to fully digital IoT systems and technologies can control the&nbsp;device.</p> <p>The mechanical device may have adds-on allowing the distribution of substances to enhance or adapt the thrust for the expected efficacy or the efficacy of the pest or weed control.</p>
