How to choose insecticidal lamps for vegetable greenhouses? What kind of lamps are good for greenhouse vegetables?

The principle of insecticidal lamps on the market is mainly to use the tendency of pests to light, create insect-attracting light sources in a specific spectral range that insects are sensitive to, and then capture and kill them in a centralized manner. This includes using light waves, frequencies, etc. So, how do you choose insecticidal lamps for vegetable greenhouses? Let's take a look!

How to choose insecticidal lamps for vegetable greenhouses

Power Classification Insect Killer Lamp

In terms of power supply type, there are two types of insecticidal lamps on the market: one uses traditional city electricity, and the other is a solar insecticidal lamp that is used outdoors. Both have the same effect, but the power supply is different. Both types of insecticidal lamps are used outdoors, and they are basically waterproof and have good insecticidal effects.

Use environment classification

As for the insecticidal lamp itself, it uses light to lure pests. In different environments, there are certain requirements to ensure the service life of the insecticidal lamp. In particular, high temperature and high humidity have a great impact on insecticidal lamps. Common insecticidal lamps are basically ordinary, but they can be used on rainy days, but not in high temperature and high humidity environments. Insecticidal lamps are also divided into high temperature and high humidity resistant and ordinary ones. You can consult some product information when purchasing. If there are no special requirements, it is ordinary insecticidal.

Summary: When choosing insecticidal lamps in a greenhouse planting environment, the installation design standard must be to choose insecticidal lamps that are resistant to high temperature and high humidity. The lighting lamps in the greenhouse must also be resistant to high temperature and high humidity. However, in reality, many people basically use ordinary lighting lamps and ordinary insecticidal lamps for convenience. There is still a certain difference in price. This should be the reason.

What kind of light is good for greenhouse vegetables

Greenhouse pests are mainly noctuid pests such as tobacco budworm and whitefly. From a cost perspective, it is recommended that growers use black light lamps of specific wavelengths to trap and kill tobacco budworms, which is the most economical and practical. Frequency-vibration insecticidal lamps are not recommended. For the prevention and control of thrips and whiteflies, blue and yellow sticky insect boards are recommended as they are less expensive and more effective.

Precautions for using insecticidal lamps

1. Although insecticidal lamps have a good insecticidal effect, you cannot rely solely on insecticidal lamps. You still need to combine some chemical means and use some low-toxic insecticides to achieve maximum prevention and control.

2. Pay attention to safety when using, especially some lamps that use high-pressure insecticides. Fully consider personal safety when placing them.

3. Especially when using frequency-vibration insecticidal lamps, this type of lamp has almost no selectivity and has a certain killing effect on all kinds of insects. It is not recommended to place them in high density to avoid harming beneficial insects.

4. When placing insecticidal lamps, the density should be such that they do not affect each other, that is, the lights do not cover each other. It is generally recommended to place one lamp per kilometer.

5. It is recommended to prevent and control pests before they become adults. Placing them too early may cause the risk of shortening their lifespan or even losing them due to wind, rain and sun.
