Target-Size-Dependent Application of Electrostatic Techniques for Pest Management in Greenhouses
Two new electrostatic devices were developed to manage greenhouse insect pests.One was an electrostatic insect catcher (EIC) to trap small flying pests, and the other was an arc-discharge zapper (ADZ) to kill larger insects emerging from soil beds.The EIC consisted of negatively charged insulated conductor plates (NIPs) and grounded conductor plate
