PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce damage to crops by diurnal insect pests by a lighting system for insect pest attraction which attracts diurnal insect pests present in a field for growing crops by light and capturing the insect pests.SOLUTION: The lighting system 1 for insect pest attraction includes a setting part 2 for setting a time zone in which a field for growing crops 7 is not irradiated with natural light as an action time zone, a light source part 3 of pseudo-sunlight in which a field is irradiated with pseudo-sunlight having a controlled green light in the set action time zone and an attraction part 4. Since the crops 7 having received irradiation of pseudo-sunlight hardly present a green color, the crops are hardly visually checked by diurnal insect pests 6 activated by pseudo-sunlight, consequently the crops are hardly damaged by the diurnal insect pests 6. The activated diurnal insect pests 6 are attracted and captured by the attraction part 4. The attraction part 4 converts pseudo-sunlight into a green attraction light to present attraction activity to the diurnal insect pests 6 and the diurnal insect pests 6 attracted by the attraction light are captured.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】作物を育成する圃場内に存在する昼行性害虫を、光により誘引して捕獲する害虫誘引照明システムにおいて、昼行性害虫による作物への被害を低減する。【解決手段】害虫誘引照明システム1は、作物7を育成する圃場に自然光が照射されていない時間帯を動作時間帯として設定する設定部2と、設定された動作時間帯に圃場に対して緑色光が制限された擬似太陽光を照射する擬似太陽光源部3と、誘引部4とを備える。擬似太陽光の照射を受けた作物7はほとんど緑色を呈さないため、擬似太陽光によって活性化された昼行性害虫6により視認されにくく、その結果、昼行性害虫6による被害を受けにくい。活性化された昼行性害虫6は、誘引部4により誘引及び捕獲される。誘引部4は、擬似太陽光を昼行性害虫6に対して誘引活性を示す緑色の誘引光へ変換し、その誘引光に誘引されてきた昼行性害虫6を捕獲する。【選択図】図1
