Abstract

The research study was conducted to attract and trap Green Leafhopper (GLH) the most common rice pest that caused up to a million worth of rice extensive damage. To resolve this problem, the researchers developed a device that can automatically attract and trap GLH by using both bait mixture and light-emitting diode (LED) light traps using Systems Development Life Cycle as its methodology to improve the quality and the overall development of the device. The study used Systems Development Life Cycle to improve the quality and the overall development of the device. The device was deployed for testing at the Philippine Rice Research Institute in Los Baños, Laguna. Results from a series of reliability tests showed that the device is capable of automatically spraying bait mixture and activating an LED light trap.
