Improving performance of the integrated electronic control unit on pheromone baited traps as a new approach in biotechnological control methods.

The use of the traditional traps in forests, besides being not effective, also does not provide reliable results related the parameters used in the control. These disadvantages require a new approach with the addition of technological infrastructure to the methods of control. In accordance with this purpose; electronic control unit (ECU) designed to traditional traps, supervised by a microcontroller within and data on the parameters and triggering that would be established at the time of each beetle captured to the trap is recorded in a storage medium (version 1 (nu 1)) - Patent No. TR 2014 / 03278B). Although the success rate of this design serves the purpose, because of some of its handicaps, it is foreseen that, it would serve more purposes and its functionality can be increased with an enhancement. Thus, instead of the laser scanning device in the version 1 of the design that used to detect the time the beetles are entrapped, motion sensor was added with a schematic improvement over the trap (version 2 (nu 2)). Also, wind sensor was added to the trap with an assumption that will contribute to the detection of insect behavior. These data which will be obtained in forest areas and in different conditions will be recorded on a storage medium.
