In the first report, the authors described the biology of fruit-piercing moths attacking the tomato fruits in Shimabara city.
This paper gives the results of experiments on the controlling effect of light against the damage caused from their attack.
Using about 6 a. of experimental tomato field, 20 watt blacklight fluorescence lamp, 20 watt blue flurescence lamp and 100 watt electric globe were tested.
The field was lighted by 3 each of fluorescence lamps and an electric lobe. Number of damaged fruits and moths in the field were reduced at the lit field rates of 5 percent. Damaged fruits in the lighted plot against 25 percent in the un-lighted plot.
