Cinnamaldehyde in the application of controlling forest pest
Fires, deforestation, pest are the three disasters of forestry. Fire and "ax disaster", has already aroused widespread concern; exception of forest pests and diseases are natural disasters, but did not cause the attention it deserves. And it is pest to our forests and even destructive erosion caused by the disaster, shocking, known as the "do not smoke of forest fires!"
China is the world's forest pests and serious damage country. Since the founding of the forest pest control work has achieved great achievements, but the overall situation of forest pests and diseases has not been fundamentally controlled, and the upward trend in the occurrence and damage area, the average has been up to 1500 acres 1.2 billion from 1950s to recent years acres, equivalent to 214 times forest fires over the same period. Due to pests and diseases to reduce the annual timber volume growth of 17 million cubic meters, direct economic losses of up to 50 billion yuan. According to experts, since the 1950s, the rise of artificial afforestation activities in China, but many plantations and secondary natural forest structure is not reasonable, forest health in poor condition, less able to resist pests and diseases, pests and diseases, especially the loss seriously!
In the traditional forest pest control, the drugs used very harmful to the environment, and prone to cause pests out of the medicine. Recently, the Northeast part of the forest and the South in few cities have been used in experiments cinnamaldehyde control of forest pests and diseases, and achieved remarkable results. On this basis,they are also actively developing the cinnamaldehyde-based high-performance composite formulations.
Result is still under development, the agency revealed only few words. Roughly: cinnamaldehyde use green safe, the environment and mammals there is no harm, broad-spectrum antimicrobial pesticides. If the trees bud, growth, cinnamaldehyde spray after dilution, in a long time, can effectively prevent pests and promote plant growth regulating both the efficacy; cinnamaldehyde unique flavor is the aversion many insects, and spray the leaves on the trees, the vast majority of insects shunned.
In addition, cinnamaldehyde also has the advantage of low efficiency, diluted in the same area of ??forest is consumed by cinnamaldehyde one-tenth of the other varieties of pesticides, and the smell of cinnamon aldehyde lasting efficacy for a long time can also play a role.
