We developed a computer-based system for controlling the photoperiod and irradiance of UV-B and white light from a 5 x 5 light-emitting diode (LED) matrix (100 x 100 mm). In this system, the LED matrix was installed in each of four irradiation boxes and controlled by pulse-width modulators so that each box can independently emit UV-B and white light at irradiances of up to 1.5 and 4.0 W m(-2), respectively, or a combination of both light types. We used this system to examine the hatchabilities of the eggs of four Tetranychus spider mite species (T. urticae, T. kanzawai, T. piercei and T. okinawanus) collected from Okinawa Island under UV-B irradiation alone or simultaneous irradiation with white light for 12 h d(-1) at 25 degrees C. Although no eggs of any species hatched under the UV-B irradiation, even when the irradiance was as low as 0.02 W m(-2), the hatchabilities increased to >90% under simultaneous irradiation with 4.0 W m(-2) white light. At 0.06 W m(-2) UV-B, T. okinawanus eggs hatched (15% hatchability) under simultaneous irradiation with white light, whereas other species showed hatchabilities
