During the growth of crops, various pests frequently occur, including thrips, grasshoppers, corn aphids, sugar beetles, beet armyworms, and others. Different crops are affected by different pests. To ensure healthy crop growth, it is essential to effectively monitor the types of pests. Based on detailed information obtained about pest conditions, a scientific control plan can be formulated to promptly and effectively manage various pests.
In the past, when technology was less developed, pest conditions were determined through manual surveys, which was inefficient. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, people can now use IoT pest monitoring lamps to monitor crop pests.
The Zhaodi IoT Smart Pest Monitoring Lamp converts solar energy into electricity during the day via solar panels and stores it in the internal battery. At night, leveraging the phototactic behavior of pests, the automatically lit lamp attracts pests from rice fields, cornfields, and vegetable plots. The pests are drawn to the light, collide with a transparent glass panel, and fall into a collection box.
Infrared high-temperature treatment is used to kill the pests, ensuring a lethality rate as high as 98% while preserving the integrity of the pest bodies. Compatible with Zhaodi's pest monitoring and prevention system as well as the plant protection IoT system, it is equipped with a 20-megapixel industrial camera to remotely photograph pests and automatically transmit the images to the IoT terminal. The entire system operates automatically, enabling functions such as automatic pest killing, counting, and identification without human supervision.
The IoT Smart Pest Monitoring Lamp has a wide range of applications and can be extensively used in agriculture, forestry, vegetable farming, tobacco, storage, brewing, gardens, orchards, urban greening, aquaculture, and more for the scientific control of pests and diseases. It can identify and monitor 1,287 pest species across 87 families, including cotton bollworms, scarab beetles, corn borers, fruit-piercing moths, and beet armyworms.
Pest monitoring lamps enable technicians to detect pest occurrences early, allowing them to take scientific measures to effectively control and reduce the impact of pests on agricultural production. At the same time, they help avoid the misuse and overuse of pesticides, achieve green pest control, alleviate the workload of agricultural technicians, and free up more time for them to handle other tasks.
