Internet of Things (IoT) To Control The Two-Spotted Spider Mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch in Green houses

Abstract

The journal of Toxicology and pest control is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. The goal of the journal is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms of toxicity. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant exposures, which have direct impact on safety evaluation and risk assessment. The journal therefore welcomes papers on biology ranging from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology to ecology and environment, also systematics, microbiology, toxicology, hydrobiology, radiobiology and biotechnology. www.eajbs.eg.net Provided for non-commercial research and education use.

IoT is able to do many tasks in greenhouses which were infested with the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae. The full automated system depended on the wireless protocol that used sensors, Arduino, geographic information system (GIS), global system for mobile communication (GSM), etc., for data collection, processing, and others. It could be effective for pest monitoring, then data transference and finally decisions related to the activation of the distinctive procedure automatically. Such technology can direct even light or sound or both to let particular predator come and victual its prey with little efforts than occurred in control. Drone with light emitting diodes (LEDs) caused more than 90% reduction of infestation with most used colors by attracting specific predators to both exposed types, green and red, of T. urticae. Also but with little difference, recorded voices of adult females of T. urticaein the case of high infestations, showed their effectiveness to attract predators to cause reduction with about 80%. In other words, the precision agricultural system is so close for being applied to control mites through IoT as an advanced technology in both open fields and greenhouses successfully.
