Climate-smart pest management by light emitting diodes (LEDs)‎

Abstract EN

Consistent relation is being distinguished between advanced agricultural systems with certain climate changes.

Infotronic system was used to control some pests as Tetranychus urticae with its two morphs, Spodoptera littoralis, Myzus persicae, and Aphis gossypii physically and biologically.

That was done automatically through an automated assistant to control specific colors of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) which were able to even caused direct mortality over 60 %, or by calling particular predators to each pest.

Biological control recorded in some cases 100 % reduction of agricultural pests.

Consequently, collected information related to climate changes by specific sensors were able to let the embedded system choosing the right color against the exposed pest and even to call the right predator also.

Results were explained upon the reduction of monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in the exposed pests to LEDs.

Subsequently, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) demonstrated their successful significance as the promising pest management technology which adapted with climate changes effectively.
