Major medical and veterinary pests including the mosquitoes, houseflies and cockroaches pose health problems for humans and mammals and create more visual obstruction. Therefore, this research discovered a formula of essential oils and active ingredients from herbal plants that are highly effective in controlling and eliminating these insects compared to chemical insecticides, are safe for non-target organisms living in the environment, and are stable and maintain the active properties of the compounds. These formulas can be developed into environmentally friendly natural products to replace or reduce the use of chemical insecticides.

From the current situation and uncertainty; leads to the concept of food security. It is the application of innovation and technology to create high productivity in a limited area. The unused buildings in urban areas were renovated for planting, created as a learning area for planting in urban area. The different methods of growing plants were presented. There are 35 planting innovations for disseminating knowledge, to create food security, self-reliant, supports sustainable living.

Since organic rice storage silos were faced with an insect problem, an owner solved this problem using the expert system (ES) in the controlled atmosphere process (CAP) under the required standard, fumigating insects with an N2, reducing O2 concentration to less than 2% for 21 days. This article presents the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) assisted ES successfully solved this problem. First, CFD was employed to determine the gas flow pattern, O2 concentration, proper operating conditions, and a correction factor (K) of silos. As expected, CFD results were consistent with the experimental results and theory, assuring the CFD’s credibility. Significantly, CFD results revealed that the ES controlled N2 distribution throughout the silos and effectively reduced O2 concentration to meet the requirement. Next, the ES was developed based on the inference engine assisted by CFD results and the sweep-through purging principle, and it was implemented in the CAP. Last, the experiments evaluated CAP’s efficacy in controlling O2 concentration and insect extermination in the actual silos. The experimental results and owner’s feedback confirmed the excellent efficacy of ES implementation; therefore, the CAP is effective and practical. The novel aspect of this research is a CFD methodology to create the inference engine and the ES.
