The phototactic response of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, to six light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was evaluated, and its response was compared with a commercial luring lamp (BLB). Based on the attraction rate under optimal conditions, green (98.3%) gave the best attractive activity of LEDs, followed by UV (90.0%), red (79.4%), yellow (76.7%), blue (69.4%) and IR (36.7%). P. xylostella showed higher preference to green LED than BLB (86.7%).
