As litchi and longan trees enter their flowering and fruit-setting phase in March, controlling stem borers becomes critical for ensuring fruit quality, increasing yield, and securing economic returns. While chemical pesticides offer quick results, their long-term use can lead to pest resistance, chemical residues, and environmental concerns.

With growing national support for sustainable agriculture, light-based pest control is gaining traction as an effective, eco-friendly alternative. This method is increasingly favored by litchi and longan growers seeking to reduce pesticide reliance while maintaining high crop quality.

Key Periods for Litchi Stem Borer Control

Litchi stem borers have short reproductive cycles, making precise timing essential for effective control. Implementing scientifically designed light-based solutions can help minimize damage and improve market value.

1.Flowering to Early Fruit Stage (March–May): Eggs are laid, and larvae infest young fruit, leading to fruit drop or quality decline. Timely control reduces egg populations.

2.Fruit Expansion Stage (May–June): Larvae feed on fruit stems, lowering commercial value.

3.Pre-Harvest Stage (June): Pest activity peaks 1–2 weeks before harvest. Delayed action can result in significant crop losses.

Light-Based Pest Control: An Efficient and Safe Solution

GMY's light-based pest control technology utilizes the stem borer's strong aversion to light. By installing specialized lamps in orchards at night, specific wavelengths disrupt pest behavior, effectively repelling or interfering with their lifecycle. This method combines ecological and physical control for a sustainable solution.

Key Advantages:

High Efficacy: Specially designed light spectrum reduces stem borer reproduction by over 97%.

Cost Reduction: Less reliance on pesticides and manual labor lowers farming costs.

Improved Yield: Reduces fruit drop and pest-damaged fruit, enhancing quality and production.

Eco-Friendly and Safe: Minimizes pesticide use, reducing residues and environmental impact.

Weather-Resistant: Works consistently, unaffected by prolonged rainy conditions.

Product Features:

Precision-targeted spectrum for effective pest deterrence

Low-cost, energy-efficient solution

Long lifespan and easy installation

Safe cold-light emission

Versatile Application for Different Orchards

GMY’s light-based pest control solution meets the needs of various orchard types:

1.Premium Orchards: Organic and high-end market suppliers

2.Tech Demonstration Farms: Leading agricultural enterprises and government-supported farms

3.Pest-Prone Regions: Areas with frequent infestations requiring efficient control

4.Pesticide-Restricted Areas: Farms where manual spraying is challenging and costly

5.Rainy Climates: Regions with heavy rainfall that reduces pesticide effectiveness

6.Agroforestry Farms: Integrated operations involving beekeeping and free-range poultry

Farmer Testimonials: Proven Results in the Field

Mr. Li, a farmer in Maoming, Guangdong: “This year’s frequent rainfall washed away pesticides in untreated plots, leading to severe pest damage and low fruit quality. However, plots using GMY’s pest control lamps had significantly better protection, producing higher-quality fruit that sold for ¥3 more per kilogram.”

Mr. Wang, an eco-farm owner: “My farm integrates fruit production, beekeeping, and free-range poultry. In the past, spraying pesticides harmed bees and required extra labor to contain chickens. Since using GMY’s lamps, pest control has improved without affecting my bees or chickens. It’s a cost-effective, labor-saving solution.”

Ms. Chen, an organic grower in Conghua: “My orchard follows organic practices, so pesticides are not an option. I previously relied on sticky traps, but fruit losses were high, with 30–40% affected by pests. Since using the lamps, fruit drop has decreased, and pest-damaged fruit is now below 10%, greatly improving quality.”
