The inhibitory effects of the timing, intensity (II) and period (IT) of night-interrupting light on diapause induction of the Kanzawa spider mite (Tetranychus kanzawai) were investigated in a series of laboratory experiments. During a light and dark period of 8 and 16h d−1, respectively, a single 1-h night-interrupting light was applied at early (E), middle (M), and late (L) parts of the dark period: i.e., at 3, 7.5, and 12h after the start of the dark period, respectively. No interrupting light was applied in the control treatment. The incidence of diapause was significantly lower in the M treatment (63%) compared to the control treatment (100%). In the E and L treatments, more than 90% of females entered diapause, which was comparable to the control treatment. Since the longest consecutive dark period during the E and L treatments was longer than the critical dark period (CDP) of 10.5–11hd−1, during which 50% of females entered diapause, the night-interrupting light probably failed to prevent diapause induction. However, in the M treatment, the longest consecutive dark period was shorter than the CDP; therefore, the night-interrupting light inhibited diapause induction. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of night-interrupting light in the M treatment increased as IIand ITincreased. The dose of night-interrupting light (II×IT) was significantly negatively related to the incidence of diapause. The median effective dose for 50% disturbance of diapause induction was 2.5kJm−2at wavelengths between 350 and 1050nm. Our results suggest that the longest consecutive dark period and the dose of night-interrupting light should both be considered when a lighting-based physical control is applied to inhibit diapause induction and consequent overwintering of T. kanzawai in commercial agricultural fields.
