Abstract
A pest control system includes a plurality of first light sources configured to emit light with a first wavelength to a first region of a cultivation region in which crops are cultivated, to suppress damage to the crops caused by harmful insects, and one or more second light sources configured to emit light with a second wavelength to gather the harmful insects in a second region that is a part of the cultivation region and smaller than the first region.
Claims11
A pest control system comprising:
- a plurality of first light sources configured to emit light with a first wavelength to a first region of a cultivation region in which crops are cultivated, to suppress damage to the crops caused by harmful insects;
- and
- one or more second light sources configured to emit light with a second wavelength to gather the harmful insects in a second region that is a part of the cultivation region and smaller than the first region.
A pest control system comprising:
- a first light source configured to emit light with a first wavelength to a first region of a cultivation region in which crops are cultivated;
- a second light source configured to emit light with a second wavelength to a second region of the cultivation region in which crops are cultivated, the second region being smaller than the first region;
- and
- a predetermined number or more of beneficial insects, wherein
- the pest control system is configured to continuously keep the predetermined number or more of beneficial insects by,
- controlling the first light source and the second light source to adjust the light with the first wavelength and the light with the second wavelength,
- allowing the predetermined number or more of beneficial insects in the second region to eliminate a certain number of harmful insects among harmful insects entering or generated in the cultivation region within a predetermined period, and
- adjusting a number of remaining harmful insects to be eliminated by the light with the first wavelength.
5 more elements
A crop production method comprising:
- releasing a predetermined number of beneficial insects into a cultivation region in which crops are cultivated;
- emitting light with a first wavelength to a first region for a predetermined time, the first region being a part or all of the cultivation region in which crops are cultivated;
- and
- emitting light with a second wavelength for a predetermined time to gather, in a second region smaller than the first region, the predetermined number of beneficial insects released into the cultivation region and harmful insects existing outside the second region.
