NiuBoL Lamp-induced Insect Equipment (Insect Pest Forecasting Lamp): Smart Insect Pest Monitoring System Solution

NiuBoL lamp-induced insect equipment adopts far-infrared insect killing + high-definition industrial camera + vibration flattening technology to realize automatic trapping, killing, photographing, counting and data upload. Supports 4G, Modbus, MQTT protocols and seamless integration with agricultural weather stations, soil moisture monitoring systems and plant protection platforms. This article focuses on engineering applications and systematically elaborates the working principle, system integration capabilities and real project value of NiuBoL lamp-induced insect equipment, providing industrial users with a reliable insect pest monitoring solution.

Working Principle of Lamp-induced Insect Equipment

NiuBoL lamp-induced insect equipment (insect pest forecasting lamp) is based on modern light, electricity, numerical control and IoT technology to realize a full-process closed loop of automatic insect trapping, killing, insect body processing, image acquisition and data transmission under unattended conditions.

Light Trapping Principle

The equipment uses a lamp tube with a specific wavelength as the insect-attracting light source, utilizing the phototaxis of most agricultural pests for trapping. After flying toward the lamp tube, insects hit the glass baffle and fall into the far-infrared treatment chamber through the funnel.

Far-infrared Insect Killing and Drying Principle

After live insects enter the treatment chamber, the upper and lower double-layer far-infrared heating devices kill the pests within 3~5 minutes (mortality rate ≥98%) and perform drying treatment at the same time (insect body integrity rate ≥95%). To avoid insect body accumulation, the movable door at the bottom of the treatment chamber automatically opens at set intervals, and the killed insect bodies fall into the insect collection box. The upper and lower far-infrared treatment cycles ensure that every pest undergoes a complete killing cycle.

Insect Body Dispersion and Photography Principle

After insect bodies fall into the collection box, they are evenly distributed on the conveyor belt through the vibration dispersion flattening mechanism. The conveyor belt precisely transports the insect bodies to the photographing area. The built-in 1200W high-definition industrial camera automatically completes image acquisition, ensuring that the morphological characteristics of each pest are clearly visible and providing high-quality image data for subsequent manual or AI recognition.

Light Control and Rain Control Working Principle

• Light Control: When ambient illuminance is ≥4lux for one consecutive minute, the equipment automatically enters standby mode; when illuminance ≤4lux, it automatically starts working mode, realizing automatic day-night switching.

• Rain Control: When humidity ≥95% or rainfall is detected, the rain-control sensor triggers the drainage system. Rainwater is discharged through a dedicated channel to prevent rainwater from entering the insect drop channel. After the rain stops, the equipment automatically resumes normal operation.

Data Transmission and Platform Access Principle

Photographed images and equipment operation status are uploaded in real time to the smart agriculture cloud platform via 4G/NB-IoT or Ethernet, supporting remote query, statistical analysis and pest forecasting. The system can generate daily pest reports, trend curves and pest species statistical charts.

The entire equipment adopts a 304 stainless steel body with high protection level, adapting to complex outdoor environments and truly realizing “unattended, automatic operation”.

System Composition and Integration Solution of Insect Pest Forecasting Lamp

NiuBoL lamp-induced insect equipment adopts a modular design and mainly consists of the following units:

• Trapping and Processing Unit: lamp tube, light-control sensor, far-infrared treatment chamber (85±5℃), vibration flattening mechanism, conveyor belt system

• Image Acquisition Unit: 1200W industrial high-definition camera, lighting supplementary system, image processing module

• Control and Transmission Unit: industrial-grade numerical control motherboard, rain-control sensor, 4G/NB-IoT module, GPS positioning module

• Power Supply and Protection Unit: solar panel + lithium battery backup system, lightning protection device, rain-insect separation structure

The system highlights openness and compatibility:

• Supports multiple industrial protocols such as Modbus RTU/TCP, MQTT, HTTP

• Can realize data fusion with NiuBoL automatic weather stations, soil moisture monitoring systems, and seedling monitoring cameras

• Directly docks with user SCADA, plant protection decision platforms or drone flight control systems via API interfaces

• Supports multi-device networking to form a regional pest monitoring grid

This highly compatible design allows the equipment to be deployed independently or quickly integrated into existing smart agriculture systems, forming a “meteorology-soil moisture-pest-seedling” four-condition linkage solution.

Project Application Cases of Insect Pest Forecasting Lamp

Shandong Corn Base Pest Monitoring Project

In 2024, NiuBoL deployed 120 sets of lamp-induced insect equipment for a 100,000-mu corn planting base in southwest Shandong. The equipment focuses on monitoring key pests such as corn borer and armyworm, and links with base weather station data. When pest density reaches the early warning threshold, the platform automatically pushes alarms and links with variable sprayers for precise plant protection. After implementation, chemical pesticide usage decreased by 24%, and corn borer damage rate was controlled below 3%, significantly reducing production costs and environmental pressure.

Sichuan Citrus Orchard Green Prevention and Control Project

To meet the requirements of green and pollution-free production, a citrus cooperative in southern Sichuan introduced the NiuBoL smart insect pest monitoring system. The equipment simultaneously monitors pests such as red spider mites and leafminers. Image data is uploaded to the cloud platform in real time, and technicians perform remote identification and counting via mobile APP. The system is combined with biological control release points, giving priority to natural enemy release and sex pheromone interference technology. After one growing season, the proportion of biological control increased to 65%, all fruit pesticide residue tests passed, and export order volume increased by 18%.

Northeast Rice Pest Forecasting Demonstration Project

A provincial plant protection station in Heilongjiang selected NiuBoL lamp-induced insect equipment to build a rice pest monitoring network. The equipment integrates far-infrared processing and high-definition photography functions, with data connected to the provincial agricultural cloud platform, supporting multi-point map display and historical trend analysis. The project provides early warning for migratory pests such as rice planthoppers and rice stem borers, with a forecasting accuracy rate of 93%, helping farmers take preventive measures in advance and reducing yield losses caused by pests.

Xinjiang Cotton Field Pest Monitoring Project

A large cotton base in Xinjiang deployed NiuBoL insect pest forecasting lamp equipment, focusing on monitoring cotton bollworms and aphids. The system analyzes pest occurrence patterns in combination with local meteorological data and guides the alternate use of biological and chemical pesticides. The pest reports generated by the platform are directly used for plant protection decision-making. After project operation, cotton yield per unit increased by 9%, and pesticide reduction reached 21%, becoming a local smart plant protection demonstration project.

Typical Application Scenarios

NiuBoL lamp-induced insect equipment is widely applicable to the following fields:

• Field crops (corn, wheat, rice, cotton) pest forecasting

• Orchards and facility fruit industry (apple, citrus, grape, pear) precise plant protection

• Forestry and economic forests (tea gardens, medicinal materials, tobacco) pest monitoring
