Application of IoT Pest Monitoring Lamps in Smart Agriculture

During the growth of crops, various pests often 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 necessary to effectively monitor the types of pests. Based on detailed pest information obtained, scientific prevention and control plans can be formulated to timely 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 lights to monitor crop pests.

The Zhaodi IoT Smart Pest Monitoring Light converts solar energy into electricity during the day through 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 fields. 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 pests, ensuring a lethality rate as high as 98% while preserving the integrity of the pests. Compatible with Zhaodi's pest monitoring and prevention system and the plant protection IoT system, it is equipped with a 20-megapixel industrial camera for remote imaging of pests, automatically transmitting data to IoT terminals. The entire system operates automatically, enabling functions such as automatic pest killing, counting, and identification without human supervision.

The IoT Smart Pest Monitoring Light has a wide range of applications, including agriculture, forestry, vegetables, tobacco, storage, brewing, gardens, orchards, urban greening, aquaculture, and more, for scientifically preventing and controlling pests and diseases. It can identify and monitor 1,287 pest species across 87 families, such as cotton bollworms, scarab beetles, corn borers, fruit-piercing moths, and beet armyworms.

Pest monitoring lights 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. This approach also avoids the misuse and overuse of pesticides, promotes green prevention and control, reduces the workload of agricultural technicians, and gives them more time to handle other tasks.
