Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a light trap for managing insects, and more particularly, to the monitoring or mass trapping of harmful insect pests and safe for beneficial insects.
  • the invention can be used for the management of the population of insect pests damaging the crops and the system alike. Description of the Related Art
  • Insect pests of various kinds are taking a heavy toll of crops and forest trees e.g., army worm, different kinds of borers, hairy caterpillars, leaf rollers, cut worms and others.
  • Pest management for the crops and forest eco-system needs to be eco-friendly and not detrimental to the flora and fauna.
  • the indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides had disturbed the balanced eco-system; as a result the beneficial insects (egg, larval, egg-larval parasitoids and predators) which are the strong biotic check upon insect pests since long has been slowly eliminating from our ecosystem. This is one of the important reasons that population of insect pests is increasing much above economic threshold level season after season and causing economical losses to the crops under field conditions.
  • sex pheromone traps are used for those insect species for which the sex pheromones are available.
  • pheromones for only a very limited number of species are known.
  • Rotary insect traps and suction insect traps are other types of traps used for trapping the insect pest population.
  • light traps are the most widely used visual traps for the agricultural insect pests, and have been particularly important in surveillance programme and monitoring of the seasonal appearance of many insect pests (Javeri, 1921; Chopra, 1928).
  • Light trap is one of the effective tools of management of the insect pests as it mass-traps both the sexes of insect pests and also substantially reduces the carryover pest population. Since long, the researchers and farmers are using ordinary light trap to mass trap and sample insect pests of crops. Light traps are also used to determine seasonal patterns of insects' density in the cropped areas. It also provides information related to insect distribution, abundance, flight patterns and helps to decide the timing of the application of chemical pesticides, biopesticides or the release of biocontrol agents.
  • the key insect pests of cereal crops can be mass trapped by using the light trap.
  • the major insect pests that are attracted towards light trap include the rice leaf folder, rice stem borer, corn borer, hoppers, codling moth, cabbage looper, cutworms, armyworms, diamondback moth, webworm moths, leaf roller moths, tobacco caterpillar, potato leafhopper, bark beetles, red hairy caterpillar, white grubs, groundnut leaf minor, hoppers etc.
  • the light trap has progressed fast from its simple beginning as an electric bulb or a kerosene lamp kept in front of a cloth sheet or water container.
  • the ordinary light trap consists of an electric bulb as attractant, a funnel to direct lured insects into a container or bag.
  • Several research workers viz., Bowden, 1982; Easton, 1987; Rogers and Smith, 1977; Siddorn and Brown, 1971; Skovmand and Mourier, 1986; Taylor and Brown, 1972 had worked on various aspects of light traps viz., light source producing shorter wave lengths and longer wave lengths to increase the luring and trapping efficiency of the light traps.
  • Light weight, portable, battery-operated, remote and timer operated light traps had also been designed and developed.
  • the beneficial insects are also killed along with harmful insects because there are no provisions to separate them from harmful insect pests. Due to this reason, the light trap is not being recommended for use on a larger scale for controlling the insect pests.
  • the conventional light trap attracts both the insect pest as well as natural enemies and is therefore contra indicator of the integrated pest management approach. There is urgent need to conserve and enhance the population of the beneficial insects so that they can keep a check upon the population of harmful insects in the eco-systems.
  • insects For separating different size insects, the requisite specific sorting screen is required. Depending upon the size of the insects, different sorting screen or porous materials are required during different growth periods of the crop.
  • the crops are attacked by an array of insects (moths, beetles, hoppers, grasshoppers, flies) during different crop growth periods and all these insects have different body sizes.
  • the beneficial insects parasitoids
  • some of the non-host insect pests have also small body size, therefore, they can also escape from the sorting screen of the light trap along with the beneficial insects.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide light trap for managing insects is to mass trap the harmful insect pests and on the other hand it is safe to the population of beneficial insects i.e., insect parasitoids.
  • Another object of the present invention is to safeguard beneficial insects particularly insect parasitoids from unnecessary trapping in the light trap as these are needed for the suppression of the population of insect pests damaging the crops.
  • the present invention is directed to a light trap for managing insects, which substantially obviate one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
  • the light trap for managing insects, the mass trapping of both the sexes of harmful insect pests are required for the suppression of the population of insect pests damaging the crops; the safety of beneficial insects particularly insect parasitoids are also needed in the crop fields as they suppress the population of harmful insect pests which are damaging the crops in a natural manner.
  • light trap for managing insects comprises light source(s) as attractant, funnel(s) below the light source to direct attracted insects into the insect collecting chamber which has body preferably semi porous.
  • the insect collecting chamber accommodates anther porous chamber(s) required for adjusting the size of pores of the body of insect collecting chamber.
  • the insect collecting chamber accommodates a lid preferably at the bottom to open or close the chamber.
  • the insect collecting chamber also accommodates the light source(s) on its outer side.

  • the pore size of the insect collecting chamber can be adjusted according to the size of the insect pest complex of the crop or cropping system with the help of the another porous structures(s) provided in the insect collecting chamber. This helps in the separation of beneficial insects (such as parasitoids) which are smaller in size in comparison to harmful insects which are particularly large-sized insects such as moths, crickets, beetles, flies etc. The harmful insects trapped inside the insect collecting chamber can be easily removed from there.
