OverviewTargeted, eco-conscious pest control using specific light wavelengths to attract and capture crop pests. These light traps enable field monitoring and population control while reducing reliance on chemical pesticides and limiting impact on beneficial insects.
Included product types- Solar-powered compact insect trap
- Wind-suction insecticidal lamp
- Electric shock insecticidal lamp
Wind-Suction Insecticidal Lamp — Key information- Uses pests' phototactic response with tuned light wavelengths to attract target species.
- Equipped with a high-capacity fan creating negative pressure to draw insects into a collection chamber from above.
- Effectively targets pests such as leafhoppers (including those affecting tea) and Lepidoptera (e.g., caterpillars).
- Typical capture volumes: thousands of insects per day, with peak events reaching tens of thousands.
- Operational impact: field trials indicate reductions in egg-laying of roughly 70% in treated areas, contributing to lower pesticide application and reduced cultivation costs.
- Environmental benefit: minimizes contamination of leaves, soil and water and helps preserve beneficial insect populations.
Applications- Agricultural research and field monitoring
- Pest protection in tea gardens and plantations
- General crop pest monitoring and precision pest management
Characteristics / technical specifications- Attraction method: specific light wavelengths selected for target pests
- Power options: solar-powered compact variants for remote field deployment
- Collection mechanism (wind-suction type): fan-generated negative pressure with an insect collection device
- Target pests: leafhoppers (including tea pests), various Lepidoptera and other small crop-impacting insects
- Performance: captures thousands to tens of thousands of insects during peak periods
- Primary benefits: reduces pesticide use, lowers cultivation costs, minimizes contamination of leaves/soil/water, and reduces harm to beneficial insects
- Use cases: agricultural fields, tea gardens, research monitoring stations
