MULTI-FUNCTION LIGHT TRAP IN PREVENTING INSECT PESTS ASSOCIATED WITH AGRICULTURAL CROPS AND FOREST TREES

Abstract

Using light traps is a method of catching moths and actively destroying the insect's egg-laying source. The multi-function light trap is a product that inherits and develops from the existing improved light trap, applying new advanced techniques and improving the structure, enhancing features suitable for Vietnam's conditions. Initial results show that the multi-purpose light trap has a wide operating range, even in places without mains electricity, and is much more capable of attracting moths than the light traps currently used in Vietnam in terms of both number of moths (4.2 to 4.6 times) and number of insect pest species (1.5 to 3.2 times); automatic control, timer and remote control via connection to mobile phone; safe; convenient; easy to move on mountain roads and large fields, wet weather and unusual thunderstorms conditions, meeting the requirements of large-scale specialized agricultural and forestry production.
