Abstract

1.device for the protection of horticultural crops against gastropods and for the capture thereof, of the type consisting of a profile of plastic, rubber or any other insulating, electrical material, which is supplied in pieces of various lengths and that can be straight, curved or elbowed, with which, by connecting with each other, the crop to be protected is surrounded or enclosed, or a capture site is determined, by circulating low voltage electrical fluid through the conductors that carry the profile, electric fluid that can come from a battery, battery or from the electrical wiring of the place, which can circulate constantly or by pulses and which can be alternating current, continuous or both combined, essentially characterized in that the support profile has a cross section that can be considered as a triangle, endowed with a broad base of support to the slightly concave soil, while its lateral faces are curved in such a way that in its area close to the highest level the profile extends into an arched neck, externally determining a curved-concave surface, while on the opposite side it presents a grooved recess, with the particularity that in at the end of the cited neck there are two angled projections arranged at different heights, the upper one of which is, in turn, at a height lower than the highest level of the profile, on whose angular projections remain, preferably semiembutidos, two electrical conductors, parallel to each other and bare throughout their length, conductors which, in a preferred embodiment, should be arranged in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the base of the profile. 2.device for horticultural protection against gastropods and for their capture.
