This study was conducted to determine the attractive effects of Plutella xylostella adults to light emitting diode (LED) trap in greenhouse and compared with those of no light trap and black-light which is typically used in commercial luring lamp. The green LED trap captured more P. xylostella when compared with black-light trap, whereas the no light trap was a little attractive to P. xylostella adults. These results indicated that the green LED traps could be used for environmental insect pest control.

To evaluate light-emitting diode (LED) as potential attractants for Bemisia tabaci adults, attractiveness of white and yellow LED traps were investigated in greenhouse. The yellow LED trap showed the most attractive to B. tabaci adults, followed by a similarly attraction to the white LED trap, whereas the control (no light trap) was little attractive to B. tabaci adults. These results suggested that yellow and white LED traps could be used for environment-friendly insect pest control.

The attraction effects of light emitting diode (LED) trap to Spodoptera exigua adults were evaluated in greenhouse and compared with those of no light trap and black-light trap, which is typical used in commercial trap. 7 days later, white LED trap ($83.0{\pm}0.7$) was 2.4 times more attractive than black-light trap ($34.0{\pm}2.6$), whereas the no light trap was little attractive to S. exigua. These results suggest that white LED traps could be used for environmental insect control.

This study was conducted to evaluate the attraction effects of Sitophilus zeamais and Tribolium castaneum to light emitting diode (LED) trap in granary and compared with the black light bulb (BLB) trap, which is typical used in commercial trap. The red LED trap showed more attractive to S. zeamais and T. castaneum than that of the BLB. Moreover, the external condition of granary was about 1.5 times more attractive to S. zeamais and T. castaneum than the internal condition of granary. These results suggested that red LED trap could be useful to control S. zeamais and T. castaneum in granary.

This study was conducted to evaluate the attraction effects of Sitotroga cerealella and Plodia interpunctella adults to light emitting diode (LED) trap in granary and compared with the results of the black light bulb (BLB) trap, which is typically used as a commercial trap. The blue LED was more attractive to S. cerealella than the BLB. The green LED was significantly more attractive to P. interpunctella than the BLB. Furthermore, the external installation of blue LED and green LED was about 1.7 times more attractive to S. cerealella and P. interpunctella, respectively, than the internal installation. These results indicated that blue LED and green LED traps can be used for eco-friendly insect pest control in granary.

To evaluate four different light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as potential attractants for Tyrophagus putrescentiae adults, attractiveness of blue (470 nm), green (520 nm), yellow (590 nm), and red (625 nm) LEDs were investigated at 20, 40, and 60 lx luminance intensity in LED-equipped Y-maze chamber and compared with the response to black light bulb (BLB), which is used in commercial traps. The BLB, the blue LED, the green LED, the yellow LED, and the red LED did not show the attractive to T. putrescentiae adults. These results suggested that four LEDs tested could not be used for environment-friendly control of T. putrescentiae adults.

The attraction effects of light emitting diode (LED) trap to Spodoptera exigua and Spodoptera litura adults were evaluated in greenhouse and compared with those of no light trap, which is typical used in commercial trap. At this time, in order to attract these two species of moths, sex pheromone traps were installed at the top side according to the degree of tomato growth inside the tomato cultivation greenhouse around the LED trap. In addition, two types of light-emitting traps (420 nm, 470 nm) were installed in the greenhouse at 1/40 m², respectively. Also two sex pheromone were installed inside of the greenhouse according to the height of the tomato plants. 10 days later, Blue-light trap(BLB, 470 nm wavelength) was 3.1-3.5 times more attractive than Violet-light trap(VLB, 420 nm wavelength) in S. exigua (105.6 ± 7.3) and S. litura (42.0 ± 3.1) respectively, whereas the no-light trap was little attractive to S. exigua (33.7 ± 2.8) and S. litura (12.0 ± 1.5). On the other hand, after the installation of the sex pheromone trap and the LED trap, there was no damage to S. litura (Fabricius) and S. exigua in the pesticide-free area, indicating a high possibility of control. At this time, the operating cost of the two types of LED traps was 80 won/m² per unit area, and it was confirmed that both types of moths could be controlled. In addition, as a result of confirming the number of two types of moths caught in the sexual pheromone trap and two types of LED traps after 4 months, it was judged that eco-friendly control was possible as more than 373 moths/trap were attracted to the two types of moths.
