在英国,用产生896兆赫(MH_2)的微波机械防治仓贮害虫的一系列试验表明,每秒800千瓦(KM.S)剂量就会杀死贮藏谷物的锯谷盗,杂拟谷盗和谷象等害虫。不过,在贮藏的咖啡豆中仅能杀死这些害虫的30％,但咖啡豆中的粉斑螟可达80％的死亡率。用补充热空气可以大大减少所要求的照射剂量,以及通过减慢这些昆虫的冷却速度, In the United Kingdom, a series of tests conducted to combat stored pests using microwave machinery that produced 896 MHz showed that a kilos per kilowatt (KM.S) dose would kill sawdust, miscellaneous grains and grains Like other pests. However, only 30% of these pests can be killed in the stored coffee beans, but the cutworms in coffee beans can achieve an 80% mortality rate. Using supplemental hot air can greatly reduce the required exposure dose and by slowing down the cooling of these insects,
