Shallots one of a leading vegetable commodity in Central Java. However, the shallot farming industry is
frequently confronted with the issue of decreasing yields due to the presence of plant pests. Onion plant
pests include the butterfly (Spodoptera exigua) and the leafminer fly (liriomyza). There are two approaches
to dealing with this pest problem: pesticides/insecticides and light traps. In terms of organic farming
methods, the use of light traps is more profitable. However, the operational costs are quite high because
farmers must have a generator to generate electricity, diesel fuel to turn on the generator, oil to lubricate
the engine, operators, or must connect to the PLN electricity network. So, we used a solar-powered pest
trap lamp system with Li-ion batteries as the energy storage medium to solve this problem. In Srimulyo
village, Gondang district, Sragen regency, community service activities such as installing pest trap lights to
control pests on shallots were carried out. The onion farmer group association is the service activity's
partner (Gapoktan). This activity was well received by shallot farmers because the presence of this light
trap can reduce pest attacks.
