Abstract
Abstract Cucumber is a popular plant that is much needed by Indonesian society. The demand for cucumbers tends to increase every year. In cucumber cultivation activities, the biggest challenge is pest and disease attacks. Continuous pest attack causes growth failure for cucumber plants. For this reason, technology is needed that can reduce pest attacks that damage cucumber plants. The design of the technology is an automatic pest trap that uses solar energy so that it can be placed in the field without an additional electricity supply. This study aimed to design a pest insect trapping system for cucumbers using a yellow-LED as bait. The yellow bait used was assembled using yellow LEDs. The pest trap system used a microcontroller integrated E18-D50NK infrared sensor and insect booster fan. The sensor worked to detect the presence of insects, and then the fan pushed the insects into a reservoir filled with water. Tests and observations were carried out for six days (144 hours). The results showed that there were 837 insects detected by the system, while 665 insects entered the reservoir. The number of dead insects in the reservoir was 598 insects. The average duration of falling insects by the fan was 130 seconds. The results of the calculation of the effectiveness between the insects detected and caught were 80.87%.
