Violet LED light enhances the recruitment of a thrip predator in open fields

Takumi Ogino; Takuya Uehara; Masahiko Muraji; et al. Scientific Reports 2016. doi:10.1038/srep32302

Other claims from this paper (5)

Intervention effect The density of the predatory bug O. sauteri on eggplant leaves was consistently higher in violet-LED illuminated plots, at least twice that of non-illuminated plots, in three trials.
Intervention effect The density of thrips on eggplant declined to less than half that of non-illuminated plots under violet-LED illumination.
Intervention effect Violet light had an immediate positive effect on attracting the predator.
Intervention effect Violet light had a secondary positive effect on the food web structure.
Recommendation The authors conclude that violet-light illumination is a powerful tool for integrated pest management.
