A Study on Light Traps for Attracting and Killing the Insects Using PKL Electricity

Abstract

Insects can see the radiation of Ultra Violet (UV) light. Nocturnal insects emit Ultra Violet light and the light source can attract them. To keep it in mind a PKL light source has been designed and developed to kill the insects in the paddy, vegetables, flowers, and fruits field. PKL light traps have been used to reduce the damage of the paddy, flowers, vegetables, and fruits from the nocturnal moths. Some lamps are used to control the type of pests those species are attracted to yellow color. To control the flying insects in the cultivated land a new and innovative PKL electric lighting system based on LED have been designed and developed.
