LIGHT TRAP

SAFER FOR BENEFICIAL INSECTS

EFFECTIVE. ECONOMICAL. ECO-FRIENDLY

ABOUT

Insect pests cause enormous losses to crops. Sole reliance on the application of chemical pesticides has led to several side effects like resurgence of pests, resistance to pesticides and outbreak of secondary pests coupled with problems of environment pollution. To effectively overcome these issues Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technology is advocated across the globe.

 

LIGHT TRAP is one of the important IPM tools. These are widely used visual traps to control the menace of agricultural pests.

 

MODE OF ACTION

The main light source attracts the phototrophic insects such as moths, flies, beetles, wasps etc. These insects get collected in the collection chamber. The sub-light source provided inside the protective chamber attract the trapped insects towards it from the inside collection chamber. The porous walls of the insect collection chamber facilitates automatic sieving and grading of insects into different categories under the influence of the light source. This helps in the separation of smaller insects, mostly beneficial ones (such as parasitoids) from the larger size insects like beetles, moths, crickets, flies etc. The harmful insects can be removed out or killed in the chamber itself.

 

Field tests of the product has shown encouraging results on various crops under different agronomical conditions. The product acceptance level is growing in leaps and bounds.

 

ADVANTAGES

USES

✓ Helps to catch all the Flying Nymphs and Adult insects like Leaf folder, Stem borer moths, Fruit borer moths, Hoppers, Fruit Weevil and Beetles etc., thereby reduce adult population and subsequent progenies in the fields.

 

✓ Helps to identify the Pest and Insects pattern to develop Pest Management and control plan.

 

✓ Helps distinguishing and controlling pest and insects damaging the crop and enabling pollination to improve the productivity.

 

✓ Portable across the crop area without any changes.

 

✓ No Major mounting or installation efforts required and easy to operate.

 

✓ Economical and helps reduction of chemical pest management cost.

 

✓ Eco friendly Pest and Insects Control device.

 

✓ The beneficial insects, which are mostly smaller in size as compared to the pest will come out from the trapping system of the light trap through, the pores provided in the insect collection chamber.

 

✓ It is durable and can be used year after year. The individual or a group of farmers can use this trap to save the beneficial insects.

 

✓ Expenditure on pesticides and their application will decrease. Biodiversity will increase.
