| Abstract;It was discovered that the common cutworm called Spodoptera litura, which is difficult to expel from roses by spraying chemicals, is controllable using lighting with yellow fluorescent lamps. As a result, there is a reduction of damage on rose leaves. Since the effectiveness of yellow light against the Fabricius group, which damages flowers and vegetables, had not been reported in the past, an expelling test against the Spodoptera litura was conducted by using yellow fluorescent lamps. According to the test results, damage to leaves by Spodoptera litura larvae started in non-lit areas in August, and the rate of damaged stems reached an approximate maximum rate of 10%. This situation continued until November. On the other hand, no larvae or damage were observed in the area lit with yellow fluorescent lamps for the same period. The illuminance varied from 0.4 to 47 lux, but no differences in the expelling effect were observed by illuminance. Further, no negative effects were found in the growth of the roses. The yellow fluorescent lamps have proved effective for protecting roses against Spodoptera litura and future applications are expected to increase. (author abst.) |
