Abstract

Agricultural insects and storedproduct insects are influenced by luminance intensities exposure times and wavelengths of lightemitting diodes LEDs Based on the phototactic behaviors of the agricultural insects green or blue LEDs are most attractive for Bemisia tabaci Trialeurodes vaporariorum Myzus persicae Liriomyza trifolii Spodoptera exigua and Spodoptera litura Green LED attracts Plutella xylostella and Frankliniella occidentalis Similarly green or blue LEDs are more attractive to agricultural insects such as Liriomyza sativae Sogatella furcifera and Nilaparvata lugens than other wavelength LEDs Concerning the phototactic behaviors of the storedproduct insects red LED is attractive for in descending order Tribolium castaneum Sitophilus zeamais Lasioderma serricorne and Tyrophagus putrescentiae Blue LED captures most Sitophilus oryzae and Sitotroga cerealella Red and blue LEDs are more attractive for storedproduct insect pests rate than ultraviolet LED and green yellow white and infrared LEDs Based on the attraction rate of the storedproduct insects on granary red LED is most attractive for S cerealella and Plodia interpunctella These light sources are effective in controlling agricultural and storedproduct insects Applying LED technology for greenhouses and granaries along with conventional traps reduces crop loss due to moths beetles aphids and weevils LEDs have potential value in integrated pest managementThis work was carried out with the support of “Cooperative Research Program for Agriculture Science Technology Development Project title Development of integrated pest management techniques using natural products and LEDs in the grain storage Project No PJ01004501” Rural Development Administration Korea
