  • Electronic Trapping and Monitoring of Insect Pests Troubling Agricultural Fields
    International Journal of Emerging Engineering Research and Technology Volume 3, Issue 8, August 2015, PP 206-213 ISSN 2349-4395 (Print) & ISSN 2349-4409 (Online) Electronic Trapping and Monitoring of Insect Pests troubling Agricultural Fields Dr. S. Thangalakshmi1, R. Ramanujan2 1Associate Professor and Head, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, GKM College of Engineering and Technology, Chennai, India 2Scholar, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, GKM College of Engineering and Technology, Chennai, India ABSTRACT The impulsively fluctuating climatic conditions and the supplementary effects demand the protection of forestry and cultivation. Pests, bugs and insects are the vital issues that distress the development of crop. Eventually, monitoring and trapping of bugs becomes a more challenging task. The traditional human operators execute surveys of the traps dispersed over the field at regular intervals. This encompasses more work, requires considerable time and is not consistent. It is not effective on economic grounds too. These limitations in the existing systems call for automation with affordable cost. Effective pest trapping will be highly favourable to the farmers while capturing and sending the images of pests will be helpful for further analysis in agricultural fields. Moreover, this will be definitely helpful in reducing the usage of pesticides since automatic trapping is efficient and effective. An electronic trap for pest insects by an autonomous monitoring system using black lights (Ultra Violet) and LED lights is suggested in this paper. A statistical analysis is made on the probable time of high pest population and a trap with three layers of different thickness is designed to capture various sizes of prominent pests.

  • The Composite Insect Trap: an Innovative Combination Trap for Biologically Diverse Sampling
    The Composite Insect Trap: An Innovative Combination Trap for Biologically Diverse Sampling Laura Russo1*, Rachel Stehouwer2, Jacob Mason Heberling3, Katriona Shea1 1 Biology Department, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania, United States of America, 2 Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States of America, 3 Department of Biology, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York, United States of America Abstract Documentation of insect diversity is an important component of the study of biodiversity, community dynamics, and global change. Accurate identification of insects usually requires catching individuals for close inspection. However, because insects are so diverse, most trapping methods are specifically tailored to a particular taxonomic group. For scientists interested in the broadest possible spectrum of insect taxa, whether for long term monitoring of an ecosystem or for a species inventory, the use of several different trapping methods is usually necessary. We describe a novel composite method for capturing a diverse spectrum of insect taxa. The Composite Insect Trap incorporates elements from four different existing trapping methods: the cone trap, malaise trap, pan trap, and flight intercept trap. It is affordable, resistant, easy to assemble and disassemble, and collects a wide variety of insect taxa. Here we describe the design, construction, and effectiveness of the Composite Insect Trap tested during a study of insect diversity. The trap catches a broad array of insects and can eliminate the need to use multiple trap types in biodiversity studies. We propose that the Composite Insect Trap is a useful addition to the trapping methods currently available to ecologists and will be extremely effective for monitoring community level dynamics, biodiversity assessment, and conservation and restoration work.

  • A Review of Sampling and Monitoring Methods for Beneficial Arthropods
    insects Review A Review of Sampling and Monitoring Methods for Beneficial Arthropods in Agroecosystems Kenneth W. McCravy Department of Biological Sciences, Western Illinois University, 1 University Circle, Macomb, IL 61455, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-309-298-2160 Received: 12 September 2018; Accepted: 19 November 2018; Published: 23 November 2018 Abstract: Beneficial arthropods provide many important ecosystem services. In agroecosystems, pollination and control of crop pests provide benefits worth billions of dollars annually. Effective sampling and monitoring of these beneficial arthropods is essential for ensuring their short- and long-term viability and effectiveness. There are numerous methods available for sampling beneficial arthropods in a variety of habitats, and these methods can vary in efficiency and effectiveness. In this paper I review active and passive sampling methods for non-Apis bees and arthropod natural enemies of agricultural pests, including methods for sampling flying insects, arthropods on vegetation and in soil and litter environments, and estimation of predation and parasitism rates. Sample sizes, lethal sampling, and the potential usefulness of bycatch are also discussed. Keywords: sampling methodology; bee monitoring; beneficial arthropods; natural enemy monitoring; vane traps; Malaise traps; bowl traps; pitfall traps; insect netting; epigeic arthropod sampling 1. Introduction To sustainably use the Earth’s resources for our benefit, it is essential that we understand the ecology of human-altered systems and the organisms that inhabit them. Agroecosystems include agricultural activities plus living and nonliving components that interact with these activities in a variety of ways. Beneficial arthropods, such as pollinators of crops and natural enemies of arthropod pests and weeds, play important roles in the economic and ecological success of agroecosystems.

Often, baseline data rely on insect monitorings that integrates catches over 14 long time periods. If, however, effects of time-critical environmental factors (e.g., light pollution) are 15 of interest, higher temporal resolution of insect observations during specific time intervals are required 16 (e.g., between dusk and dawn).

  • DEPARTMENTAL MANUAL Museum Property Handbook (411 DM, Volume I)
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENTAL MANUAL Museum Property Handbook (411 DM, Volume I) Chapter 6 Biological Infestations A. INTRODUCTION 1. The Problem a. Pests Museum property is vulnerable to damage and deterioration caused by a variety of biological organisms. The damage can range from surface soiling and spotting to complete destruction of the object. Organic materials (e.g., silk, skin, wool, hair, hide, paper, and wood) are most vulnerable to damage by biological agents. The mechanism that causes damage to inorganic materials is complex, is rarely seen in museums, and is beyond the scope of this Handbook. Pests that damage museum property can be divided into three categories: ! Microorganisms (e.g., molds and other fungi) ! Insects ! Vertebrates (e.g., birds and mammals, such as rats, mice, and bats). The three categories can be interrelated. They can support each other's survival and can contribute to the damage caused by each other. Unfortunately, the optimum conditions for the care, storage and exhibition of museum property are also good for the survival of pests. Improper storage and exhibition conditions such as high temperatures, high relative humidity levels, dust, overcrowding, and clutter enhance pest survival. b. Traditional Control Measures The traditional method for controlling pests in museums has been either the routine prophylactic treatment of collections with pesticides such as arsenic, thymol, mercury, DDT, ethylene oxide, Vapona (DDVP), naphthalene, and paradichlorobenzene (PDB), Release Date: 6:1 New DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENTAL MANUAL Museum Property Handbook (411 DM, Volume I) Chapter 6 Biological Infestations or treatment with these chemicals once an infestation has been discovered.

These issues gave rise to ‘organic farming and bio-control’ a new method of controlling the insect pest which was cost effective and eco-friendly. Bio-control agents and trapping system are the major techniques which enable to facilitate and promote organic farming. In the similar sequence of trapping system, we are introducing a new trap design which is a single solution to variety of insect pest in the agricultural fields. This combination trap has the features of light trap, sticky trap and pheromone trap arranged in a detachable and replaceable form. It has a simple design and materials required can be easily procured. This trap can be used for any type of crops as it have trapping system for almost all type of insect pest. It is cost effective, portable and has less weight which will be useful to the farmers and agriculturist.

    Trapping guidelines for area-wide fruit fly programmes Trapping guidelines for area-wide fruit fly programmes Second edition Edited by Walther R. Enkerlin Joint FAO/IAEA Programme of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture Jesus Reyes Flores Private consultant Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency Vienna, 2018 Recommended citation FAO/IAEA. 2018. Trapping guidelines for area-wide fruit fly programmes, Second edition, by Enkerlin, W.R. and Reyes- Flores, J. (eds). Rome, Italy. 65 pp. DISCLAIMER Detection of economically important fruit flies is critical to the economics and sustainability of horticulture. Development of trapping systems is an evolving process that results in improved agriculture. Trapping systems require a holistic approach that encompasses endemic and invasive species, human needs, as well as economic pressures. The purpose of this working document is to provide a mechanism for an evolving process that allows providing NPPO’s, RPPO’s, action agencies, industry, and scientists a framework to fully utilize current and future trapping technologies. The dedication of the authors in developing this manual is based on a commitment to provide an updated and coherent use of technologies available for trapping fruit flies. Every effort was made to ensure that this document is accurate, however, the activities associated with the trapping of fruit flies makes this a complex and dynamic process. This document is not an endorsement of products and assumes no liability for actions reported herein. Suggestions and comments to this working document are appreciated. Contents Foreword v 1.
