Background:
When an agricultural equipment manufacturer provided pest control solutions for farms and greenhouses, it found that traditional chemical pesticide methods not only polluted the environment, but also had residual effects on crops, and needed an efficient and environmentally friendly pest control method. The manufacturer's customers, including large farms and agricultural cooperatives, urgently needed a solution that could significantly reduce the number of pests and increase crop yields and quality.
Solution:
UV Optoelectronics Inc. provided customized mosquito and fly trap lamps. The lamps use ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 365nm UV LED or 365nm+395nm UV LED. The ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 365nm is very attractive to pests such as mosquitoes, while the combined wavelength of 365nm+395nm UV LED can expand the trapping area and attract more types of pests. Compared with traditional UV mercury lamps, UV LED lamps have higher energy efficiency, longer service life (more than 20,000 hours) and lower energy consumption, and do not contain harmful mercury, making them more environmentally friendly and safe.
In actual applications, these UV lamps are installed in key locations on farms and greenhouses, such as between crop rows and warehouse entrances, where pests are active. By simulating the insect-attracting light source in nature, UV lamps can efficiently lure pests to approach, and combined with physical capture devices such as sticky insect boards or insect traps, precise capture and control of pests can be achieved.
Effect:
After installation, the number of pests in farms and greenhouses has been significantly reduced, and the damage rate of crops has been greatly reduced. In the application of a large orchard, the combination of UV trapping lamps and yellow boards has reduced the number of aphids by about 40%, the number of planthoppers by 30%, and the health of fruit trees has been significantly improved, and the yield and quality of fruits have also been greatly improved. At the same time, this physical control method avoids the use of chemical pesticides, meets the requirements of green agricultural control, and improves the quality and safety of agricultural products. In addition, the low energy consumption and long life of UV LED lamps also save operating costs for enterprises and enhance the market competitiveness of agricultural equipment manufacturers' products.
Customer feedback:
Customers of agricultural equipment manufacturers are highly satisfied with this environmentally friendly and efficient pest control solution. A large farmer said: "Since adopting UV Optoelectronics Inc.'s UV lamps, pest problems on our farm have been effectively controlled, pesticide use has been reduced by more than 30%, and the yield and quality of crops have been significantly improved, which has brought us higher economic benefits and market competitiveness."
