Yantai to promote solar insect killer next year

On the 10th, it was learned from the related meeting in Yantai that starting from January 2013, the county and the city as the units, in accordance with the requirements of pollution-free technical standards, prohibit the use of highly toxic and high-risk pesticides. At the same time, it will also comprehensively promote the use of solar insecticidal lamps.

It is understood that the application of insecticidal lamps has been started in Fuping and Penglai. Among them, Penglai City has invested more than 600 solar insecticidal lamps, and each lamp can “cover” 30 acres of orchards. Chen Jianzhuang, head of the Industrialization Section of the Agricultural Bureau of Penglai City, said that moths and insects all have phototaxis. The insecticidal lamp absorbs sunlight during the day and the insecticidal lamp emits light at night. It can trap and kill fruit tree pests and reduce or even eliminate the use of pesticides. It is believed that this measure is conducive to ecological and environmental protection and has caused strong repercussions throughout the country.
