Analysis of modern methods of providing abiotic factors in the cultivation of uterine cultures

Abstract

Annotation Purpose. Improving the efficiency of cultivation of uterine crops through the use of new methods of creating a microclimate through thermal moisture treatment of air in mass transfer devices. Identification of optimal solutions by choosing the method of achieving the regulated values of temperature and relative humidity, which will meet the requirements of improving efficiency, energy efficiency and environmental friendliness by providing abiotic factors in the production of entomocultures. Methods. Analytical studies of the use of new devices for heat and moisture treatment of air to create a microclimate in entomological production. Results. The use of contact devices for thermo-moisture treatment of air to ensure a regulated range of temperatures and relative humidity in the cultivation of mother crops is substantiated. The advantages of using these devices in entomological laboratories are proved by means of comparative analysis of different methods of thermo-wet preparation of microclimate. Conclusions. The use of contact devices to ensure abiotic factors during the cultivation of uterine cultures is substantiated. It is established that their application will provide an increase in efficiency by almost 20%, energy efficiency – by 35%, environmental friendliness – by 15% with a constant impact on the quality of entomoproducts. Keywords: abiotic factors, entomocultures, thermo-wet air treatment, contact and surface air treatment devices, microclimate.
