Yes. They can create a substance that is very much like Kryptonite.

can green lantern create Kryptonite?

Seeing as how DC Comics Presents #26 was 30 years ago (pre-Crisis), do you still think that's an ability the Green Lanterns have today? And if it is, one would wonder why they're able to imitate the effects of kryptonite.

As for why, it's simple: the ring can do anything, so long as the wielder has the willpower to do it.

"Officially, they should be able to replicate kryptonite, but since Geoff Johns took over GL title, there has been some unspoken agreement that they can't do that anymore, and indeed, lanterns have generally been NERFed since Rebirth. I like to think they can do it, they're just not showing it.

One of the signature abilities of the GL ring is the ability to simulate any form of energy, from the fundamental forces of electromagnetism and gravity, to the common forms of heat and electricity, to the exotic forms of hard light and concussive energy, to the traditional energies of the electromagnetic spectrum.
That includes simulating Kryptonite radiation. The versility of the Power Rings are immense. There's a reason they're considered to arguably be the greatest weapon in the universe.

" yes they can and it doesnt matter! GL fans dont go thinking they have a chance against superman ..........a thought based weapon against a guy whos 200 times faster than a thought! BAM! case closed. "Well, the ring protects the wielder automatically so... I accept your premise, but TOTALLY reject your conclusion! =P

I'm not sure whether that's in canon or not, though.
