Introduction:
The necessity of healthy food and products like crops The major problem producing, saving, and marketing processes are the pest insects There some treatments for removing and controlling them with some benefits and defects

Some treatments:
Chemical fumigation
Ionizing radiation

Hot and cold remedies

MW (Microwave)

Chemical Treatments
Ease of use and low cost MeBr Nitrate fertilizer is one of the most used fertilizers and its use has been increasing over the years.

Nitrate

is so dangerous for human health but unfortunately nowadays all humans eat nitrate with their foods and fruits.

How nitrate effect on human health.

Harmful for environment, global warming.

Ionizing Radiation
_Sterilize _Kill _Prevent emergence of insect by Damaging their DNA _Exposing in Gamma-rays(deeply penetrate), 10 September 2007 High Energy Electrons, and X-rays 8.30-9.00pm _don not kill immediately, radioactive wastes

Cold Treatments
_Slow the development of insect pest populations _Quarantine purposes against exotic fruit flies _The limitation is lengthy treatment times required _high costs associated with building and maintaining10 September 2007 refrigerated storage.
8.30-9.00pm

Hot Treatments
_Forced hot air and hot water treatments _Simple and the process can be easily controlled _Fruit core must reach certain temperatures _Heating time can be slightly decreased by increasing the air speed and using small fruits 10 _Slow heatingSeptember 2007 long treatment times process takes
8.30-9.00pm

Due to increase the public concerns about adverse impacts of chemical fumigation and the other methods on the humans and the environments, the demands of nonchemical pest control methods were developed. Thermal methods like MW are the nonchemical pest control method which apply microwave energy 10 September 2007
8.30-9.00pm

Microwave (MW)
Similar to other conventional heat treatments No impact on the operator, little on environment Higher temperature needs shorter time to reach 100% mortality and vice versa Higher temperature related to higher power Leave no chemical residues 10 September 2007 The high power was applied previously
8.30-9.00pm

When we want to use microwave as a thermal method ,for achieving the best result we need to find the best frequency that has more effect on the insects and lowest effect on the plants and products
