Description

PESTICIDE ARRANGEMENT
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pesticide arrangement.
More particularly, the present invention relates to a pesticide arrangement to protect plants, humans and animals against molluscs, insects, mites, nematodes and gastropods.
BACKGROUND TO INVENTION
Pesticides are used to protect crops and plants. Molluscicides, also known as snail baits, snail pellets, and snail sprays are pesticides for use against gastropod molluscs. These are generally used in agriculture or gardening for controlling gastropod pests in particular slugs and snails which damage crops or other valued plants by feeding on them.
Various chemicals can be employed as a molluscicide, including:
(a) metal salts such as iron(lll) phosphate, iron EDTA complex and aluminium sulphate, boric acid, relatively non-toxic, also used in organic gardening and farming;
(b) Metaldehyde;
(c) Methiocarb;
(d) Carbaryl;
(e) Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, highly toxic to other animals and humans, acts also as a contact poison; (f) Niclosamide;
(g) Formulations of cinnamon oil, soapbark, soybean oil and sunflower oil, relatively non-toxic, also used inorganic gardening and farming; and
(h) Caffeine.
Hence various formulations of snail pellets that are dispersed in agricultural fields and home gardens as molluscicides throughout the world. The pellets are highly palatable to snails and when they feed or get in contact with on the poisoned pellets, they die. The known pellets throughout the world are manufactured as a solid, lose or individual pellet.
It is an object of the invention to suggest a novel pesticide arrangement.
Various chemicals not listed in this document can be employed as a pesticide. It is the object of tis invention to suggest that all these chemicals can be used in this novel pesticide arrangement.
Hereinafter the term pellet includes reference to a bead. Hereinafter the term covering includes reference to encasing. SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The pesticide arrangements can also be placed around the upper section of the tree's trunk, its branches and/or posts.
The pesticide arrangement can also be placed around fence posts or similar objects surrounding fields of plants that need protection.
The pesticide arrangement can also be placed directly on the ground in various lengths to form a barrier between plants and pest and/or be laid directly onto the ground or surface and/or be laid around fields or in between rows of plants or trees.
The pesticide arrangement can also be adapted to be used as a barrier for all plant types against all plants pests.
Hence when the snails attempt to cross the pesticide arrangements in order to reach the higher parts of the tree or plant, or feed on the pesticide pellets in the pesticide arrangements, they will die and the tree or plant will remain protected.
The pesticide arrangements are placed around the tree trunks and/or posts either by hand or mechanically.
The pesticide arrangements are adapted using existing technology over time to allow for faster mechanical applications thereof.
The pesticide arrangements can be manufactured by means of an extruder, machinery and hand labour. The pesticide arrangements may also be manufactured by means of a DIY kit.
The pesticide pellets can be beaded as necklaces and are thus movable.
The pesticide pellets 12 can also be moulded directly onto the string, thread, rope, elastic, cord, wire and/or any other material 16 and hence are non-movable, i.e. fixed to the string, thread, rope, elastic, cord, wire and/or any other material.
The pesticide arrangement and/or pesticide pellets can include molluscicides.
The pesticide arrangements and/or pesticide pellets can also include other insecticides in this format, such as barriers against vine weevil, insects, nematodes, mites and other gastropods.
The invention also extends to a customised or special pellet manufacturing kit adapted to manufacture the pesticide arrangements.
The pesticide pellets can be hard or soft.
The pesticide pellets can be dry, moist, wet and/or sticky.
The pellet(s) can be bead(s).
The pesticide arrangement may be applied with a plant tape tying tool and/or applicator.
The invention also covers a method for manufacturing a pesticide arrangements, includes the step of attaching at least one pesticide pellet or bead or solid casing directly onto a piece of string, thread, rope, elastic, cord, wire and/or some other material.
Figures 4 to illustrate the steps of the manufacturing process and equipment developed to manufacture the pesticide arrangement according to the invention and includes the following steps:
(a) Step 1 - Raw material is extruded using a twin screw extruder;
(b) Step 2 - Extruded product is injected into unique, specially designed and developed, custom made die to attach the extruded material to cord, elastic, wire, etc. Product resembles electric cable encased with plastic at this point;
(c) Step 3 - Continuous, encased product is then moved into special rollers to shape or form the pellets on the cord, elastic, wire, etc. If pellets are not required, the products moves directly from step 2 to step 4; and
(d) Step 4 - The product is dried and then placed onto plastic spools
Figure 4 illustrates the twin screw extruder (step 1 ). Figure 5 illustrates the unique die (step 1 ).
Figure 6 illustrates the manufactured pesticide arrangement coming out of machine's die area (step 2).
Figure 7 illustrates the unique die attached to twin screw extruder (step 2).
Figure 8 illustrates the manufactured pesticide arrangement coming out of machine's die area (step 2). Figure 9 illustrates the pesticide arrangement after step 3 has been completed (step 3).
