1) Crops are damaged by moth larvae, costing the global agriculture industry significant losses in revenue and pesticide costs. Pesticides are a constant expense as insects develop resistance. 2) Experiments show that yellow light from lamps at night suppresses moth activities like egg-laying, providing an effective and cost-efficient pesticide-free solution. 3) Field tests on various crops like chrysanthemums, tomatoes, and asparagus showed the yellow light significantly reduced damage from moths compared to no light.

Pesticide dispersion
Can “pesticide” save and
solve all the problem?
1. Fact of crops damage by Moths (larvae)
The world’s agri. is suffering loss of money coming from pest damage and “pesticide cost”.
Damaged crops
(Without pesticide) Value of global cotton pesticide at the farm level (annual)
◆ Japan case
Although it depends on the local
condition, 40% of whole the crop was
damaged if it were not for pesticide.
◆ Chasing between insect vs pesticide
Major chemical companies like Bayer, Monsanto, Du-Pont are
forced to renovate pesticide back to back, because insect’s
resilience catches up in every step. It brings constant but higher
expense dependence on using pesticide.

2. Smartest way to keep crops out of pest damage
◆Suppression of Nocturnal insect activities by yellow light
A lot of experiments verified the advantage that yellow light enables
to expel nocturnal insects leading suppress egg laying on the crops.
(Yamada et al.2006; Kono and Yase 1996; Yase et al 1997; Hirama et
al. 2007; Yabu 1999; Yoon et al. 2012)
It also brings the farmers cost effective and pesticide-free solution for
agriculture; not harmful to human health and environment.
