Method for synthesizing components of the pheromone for the Hythantrya cunea

Date: 26 / 06 / 20

The Fall webworm moth is a quarantine pest of fruit crops. Damaged crops: mulberry, Apple, plum, cherry, walnut, pear, quince, apricot, peach, cherry, rosehip (up to 230 species of woody and herbaceous plants).    The species is native to North America, where the butterfly was distributed from Canada to Mexico. Since 1949, it has been recorded in Europe (Yugoslavia), where it settled from France to the Caspian sea. In 1952, it was discovered in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. In 1966, it was discovered in the Odessa region and in Moldova, in 1968 — in the Donetsk and Vinnytsia regions. Currently, it has spread to 11 regions of Ukraine, including Kherson, Kiev, Mykolaiv, Zaporozhye, Crimea, etc. In 2012, it was discovered in Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr and Dnepropetrovsk regions of Ukraine.Later it got to Central Asia: Turkmenistan (since the early 1990s), Uzbekistan (1996-1997), Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. In Japan, it has been known since 1945, from where it penetrated to Korea, China, Mongolia and the Primorye Territory. It is also a single species recorded in Lithuania. It lays eggs on the underside of the leaf in groups of 100-600 eggs. One female lays up to 1,500 eggs, while second-generation females are more fertile: each of them lays up to 2,500 eggs.  The moth flight starts before or during the flowering of Apple. In Ukraine and southern Russia, two generations usually develop, and in some years there is an incomplete 3rd generation. Second-generation butterflies fly from mid-July to the end of August (depending on weather conditions).The founder of Biochemtech S. R. L., Boris G. Kovalev, in 1979, was one of the scientists who participated in the development of a method for synthesizing components of the pheromone of the Fall webworm moth.Today, there are more than thousands species of insect pests of fruit crops, and in most cases, farmers have large losses in the agricultural sector, some lose up to 100% of their crop.Based on many years of experience, WE can observe in practice how more and more farmers around the world are in search of an ecological solution to grow the crop safety and using conventional methods can not achieve their goals of crushing the number of pests.Today, Biochemtech S. R. L. is a leader in the synthesis of pheromones and insect attractant from pests, which have shown themselves in practice to effectively reduce the number of pests to the economic threshold of harmfulness.Environmental goods and the use of organic farming methods are gaining momentum around the world. Research is underway in the United States, Asia, and Europe. Are made investments of hundreds of millions of EUROS in projects such as integrated plant protection methods are increasing. Biochemtech S. R. L. working with countries in Europe, Africa, America and Asia, allows farmers to save their crops by ecological methods up to 95% (mass trapping and disorientation).Source:Scientific Exchange Program and the USSR Ministry of Agriculture.National Science Foundation Grant No. PCM78-13241.First results were first discolsed at the EUCHEM Conference on Chemistry of insects, held at Borgholm, Sweden, on August 13-17, 1979.Department of Entimology, New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, NY14456.All-Union Scientific Reasearch Institute of Biological Methods for Plant Protection, 277031 Kishinev, Republic of Moldavia, USSR.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_webwormhttps://www.ogorod.ru/ru/now/pests/15280/Amerikanskaya-babochka-vstrechayte-novogo-sadovogo-vreditelya.htmhttps://animalreader.ru/amerikanskaya-belaya-babochka-opisanie-nasekomogo.htmlhttps://www.ogorod.ru/ru/now/pests/15280/Amerikanskaya-babochka-vstrechayte-novogo-sadovogo-vreditelya.htm

Bees importance

Date: 11 / 06 / 20

The main meaning of bees is that they are the main pollinators of almost all flowering plants.Currently, about 150 crops are cultivated, which need to be cross-pollinated by bees. These crops cover more than 20 million hectares, and bees are the main pollinators. An ordinary family of honeybees can make up to 4 million flights per year and fly around 100 flowers during each of them.Bees are the pollinator of their work increase productivity:buckwheat,sunflower's,Apple fruit up to 50%,watermelons, melons and pumpkins - 2 times or more.If you use the energy of worker bees correctly, you can increase productivity:peaches, tangerines, oranges, lemons 4 times,cherries and cherries — 7 times,some grape varieties-up to 10 times.Experiments conducted by the research station of beekeeping showed that pollination with the help of bees on raspberries affects not only the quantity, but also the quality of berries, as well as their size and weight:100 berries grown without the participation of bees weighed 55 g, and ripe when pollinated by bees — 119 g.Agronomists found that when cross-pollinated by bees, persimmon fruits ripened faster, acquired an orange color, lost their astringency long before the usual ripening period; in addition, the fruit significantly increased the content of vitamin C (ascorbic acid).  Culture Family bees number per hectare, pcs. Addition of harthest after pollination of bees, % Buckwheat 2,0 - 2,5 40 - 60 Sunflower 0,5 - 1,0 40 - 50 Rapeseed 0,5 – 1,0 25 – 56 Red clover 4,0 – 6,0 30 – 75 Raspberries, currants 0,5 – 2,0 40 – 50 Seed fruits 2,0 25 – 50 Stone fruits 2,5 – 3,0 40 – 60 Apple 2,0 30 - 50 Watermelons, melon and pumpkins 2,0 100 – and more Peaches, Tangerines, oranges, lemons 2,0 400   EU member States:banned the use in the open air, of three bee-damaging insecticides that are part of the neonicotinoid group.Meanwhile, the head of the Association of German farmers Joachim Ruckwied (Joachim Ruckwied) said that after the ban of neonicotinoids, agriculture needs alternatives.European experts were supported by the US environmental protection Agency (EPA):research which has shown that insects of reservoirs are very sensitive to neonicotinoids. *Neonicotinoid family includes acetamiprid , clothianidin , Imidacloprid , netter , nithiazine , thiacloprid and thiametoxam . Imidacloprid is the most widely used insecticide in the world.This year, Russia may lose half of its bees. Due to uncontrolled use of pesticides, 20 to 40 percent of bee families die in apiaries every winter.Even in Europe, bee colonies are shrinking every winter:average of 20 %,in the US - by 30-35 %,in some areas of China, there are no bees left at all.There were 10 million bee colonies in the USSR. Over the past 25 years, the number of bees has decreased almost tripled.In the United States and Europe, a steady decline in the number of bee colonies has been observed since the middle of the last century. Consequence of reduction of bees:1. Pollination of plants and trees will decrease to 80%.2. Deficiency of most vegetables, fruits, berries, cereals, nuts.3. The Damage to the economy due to 153 billion of EURO.4. Significant reduction of animals.5. Food crisis.  Our company is actively engaged in the issue of ecology. We are ready to consider other issues and develop our products in different industries. Let's work together and we will make the world a better place!

List of chemicals radiated in 2020 on the Republic of Moldova territory.

Date: 04 / 06 / 20

After scientific studies, carried out for years, the problem of destroying pollinator insects for years was found.The chemicals that are supposed to help farmers to reduce the pest population, lead to the destruction of pollinator insects, to the appearance of the pest's resistance and damage to the environment and human health.Bees in Republic of Moldova die because of a pesticide used by farmers, while insects pollinate. The phenomenon is not only characteristic for Moldova, it has been widespread since 2006 and endangers bee colonies around the world.Already after the question was raised worldwide, a lot of pesticides were put on the Black List. European countries, the United States, Russia, Japan and China issue laws and rules for pesticides production and use of it.Specialists say that the disappearance of bees would affect people's lives and the economy globally.In 2018, in order to save bees, the European Union banned several insecticides harmful to bees.In Moldova, there are over seven thousand beekeepers, who have about 300 thousand bee families. And to have fruit and growth of the economy, we joined the countries that have and understand the responsibility for the situation.The ecological and safe way, is the only way to pass into the age when we have the possibility not to destroy, but to protect and receive the true gift from Mother Nature.The solution in this case, is the product in which scientific and financial investments are made in enormous quantities. At the base of the product lies the instrument (instinct) given by Mother Nature to every species in the world (human, animal, insect, and other forms). The sexual pheromone of the female pest is used in the way of attracting the male and interrupting the reproduction, which leads to the decrease of the pest population for each generation, as for the given season and for the following seasons as well. So the solution to decrease the damage that is brought from year to year, is simple, without a danger to the environment, animals and especially to pollinating insects.Inform yourself which chemicals will be radiated in 2020 on the territory of Republic of Moldova, but be sure that Biochemtech S. R. L. supports you with the solution that already for 20 years shows the result in practice without a danger to the environment, animals and especially pollinating insects.Check radiated chemical substances: http://www.pesticide.md/radiere/Resource:   http://www.pesticide.md/radiere/ https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-deal-with-the-presence-of-pesticides-in-your-food

Biochemtech company held a presentation of a pheromone trap for Apple Blossom Beetle

Date: 28 / 08 / 19

August 22, in the framework of the seminar "Eco-agriculture - how to become an ecological producer" organized by the " Center for Consulting and Business support” (CCA) Biochemtech company representatives made a presentation of pheromone traps for Apple Blossom Beetle.The participants of the seminar familiarized with the ecological methods of pest control, which does not affect negatively on quality of production, does not harm useful insects (in particular, bees), environment and the humans.Recall that the pheromone trap for Apple Blossom Beetle effectively protects crops such as: apple, raspberry, currant, strawberry, blossom, flowers, they attack the leaves of many deciduous species in parks and forests and cause significant damage to gardens and orchards.

Mass bees disappearance in the Republic of Moldova due to the use of pesticides

Date: 14 / 08 / 19

Numerous bee colonies have died due to careless or excessive use of pesticides in the fields.The conclusion made by a special commission of the National Food Safety Agency suggests that in Tomai, Gaidar and Baurci villages bee pests were provoked by poisonous substances, used for processing not rapeseed, but a number of other crops.“In each of the above villages, farmers used different types of chemicals. Laboratory studies have shown that out of 25 types of pesticides, at least 2-3 species were used for processing crops. It is difficult to say what kind of pesticide led to the death of bee colonies. The study of one sample costs 1131 lei, and local authorities pay for researches of three samples only” – noted the chairman of the commission, Andrei Сurсa. About 20 beekeepers in Gaidar village were left without bees in just a few days. Nicolae Ciolac says that he suffered huge losses. He is outraged by the fact that farmers who treated their fields with pesticides are still not punished by authorities. Fifty-four beekeepers from Tomai, Gaidar and Baurci villages, which have lost up to 80% of bee colonies in May of this year, said that if the authorities do not take action, they will be forced to abandon the breeding of bees. Farmers who use chemicals to process crops and forest plantations, without warning beekeepers, risk being punished with fines of up to 20 conventional units.
