Izdelava inovativne embalaže za vrtnine za zaščito pred napadi škodljivcev

Batič, Uroš (author), Vrabič Brodnjak, Urška (mentor)

Namen magistrskega dela je bil raziskati izdelke za zaščito vrtnin pred škodljivci in druge načine za zaustavitev škodljivcev na vrtu ter izdelati embalažo za vrtnino, ki ji bo na vrtu omogočala nemoteno rast in preprečevala škodljivcem uničenje vrtnine. Prav tako pa bo omenjena embalaža boljša od že temu namenjenih izdelkov, saj bo ščitila celotno vrtnino. Pomembno je bilo vključiti elemente na embalaži, ki so enostavni za uporabo, in prinašajo dobro uporabniško izkušnjo. V teoretičnem delu je predstavljenih nekaj splošnih informacij o embalaži in materialu, ki smo ga uporabili. Nato sledi predstavitev vrtnin, ki bi jih lahko pakirali, njihova pridelava, kako poteka razvoj in kaj vse vpliva na to. Temu poglavju sledi predstavitev potencialnih škodljivcev in njihovih lastnosti. Dodanih je še nekaj načinov, ki se uporabljajo za zaščito vrtnin pred škodljivci in za odvračanje le-teh. Sledi predstavitev načrtovanja in oblikovanja embalaže ter opisi o zahtevah, ki jih vključujemo. Naredili smo tudi krajšo raziskavo izdelkov, ki so podobni oziroma je podoben njihov namen in imajo lastnosti, kot smo jih želeli sami vključiti in izdelati v končnem produktu. Analizirali in raziskali smo tudi njihove pomanjkljivosti in določene elemente, s katerimi smo si pomagali pri izdelavi in izboljšanju naše embalaže. Magistrska naloga obravnava celoten potek od izbire in preizkušanja materiala, pa vse do načrtovanja izdelka, izvedbe končnega izdelka ter predstavitev njegove mreže in elementov. V zaključku so predstavljeni vsi elementi embalaže in končni izdelek. Za izdelavo embalaže za zaščito vrtnin pred škodljivci smo se odločili, ker je ta problematika tema vsakega vrtičkarja in po pregledu izdelkov na trgu ni bilo primernega, da bi v celoti zagotavljal dovolj veliko zaščito za razvoj vrtnine, saj so vsi izdelki ščitili le glavo vrtnine. Namreč naš končni izdelek združuje zaščito glave in korenino vrtnine.

• Title: Production of innovative packaging for vegetables for protection against pests

Abstract

The purpose of the master's thesis was to research products for protecting vegetables from pests and other ways to stop pests in the garden and to create packaging for vegetables that will allow them to grow smoothly in the garden and prevent them from pests destroying them and also to be better than similar products on the market because it will protect the whole vegetable. It was important to include elements on the packaging that are easy to use and deliver a good user experience. The theoretical part presents some general information about the packaging and the material we will use. Then, we briefly present the vegetables that we will pack and their production, how the development takes place, and what all affects it. We then tell who the potential pests are and what their characteristics are. We add a few more ways that are used to protect vegetables from pests and to deter pests so far. Here are a few words about the planning and design of packaging and the requirements we have. We also did short research of products that are similar or similar in purpose and have similar properties as we wanted. We also analyzed and researched their shortcomings and certain elements that helped us to make and improve our packaging. The master's thesis deals with the entire process from the selection and testing of material to product design and the final product and the presentation of its network and elements. In the conclusion, all the elements of the packaging that make it special and the final product are presented. We decided to make packaging for protecting vegetables from pests because this issue is a topic of every gardener and we did not find any similar product suitable to provide enough protection for vegetable development because all products protected only the head of the vegetable and ours combines the protection of the head and roots of the vegetable.
