Key Points

The research aims to assess the effectiveness of red LED light in suppressing the density of Frankliniella intonsa in strawberries.
Evaluated the impact of red LED light irradiation at different wavelengths and intensities on thrips density.
Conducted the trial in greenhouses during 2024 and 2025 with controlled thrips release.
Compared thrips density between irradiated and non-irradiated areas.
No significant difference in thrips density was observed between irradiated and non-irradiated areas in both years.
In 2024, significantly more thrips were captured in the red LED treatment area, while no differences were noted in 2025.
The findings suggest red LED light does not effectively suppress Frankliniella intonsa density in strawberries.

Implication

Evaluates the effect of red LED light on thrips density in strawberries, suggesting limited impact.
