Abstract:
In many parts of the world, chemical pesticides are the primary method of pest control in maize (Zea mays L.) crops. Concerns about the negative consequences of chemical pesticide use on people\'s health and the environment, as well as the emergence of insecticide resistance, have accelerated attempts to discover alternatives that are effective, low-risk, and cost-effective. Maize-legume intercropping systems are known to have multiple benefits to agroecosystem functioning, including pest regulation. This review focuses on the influence of maize-legume intercropping systems on insect diversity and abundance as a mechanism for insect pest regulation in maize crops. First, this review combines knowledge of maize-legume intercrops, with a particular emphasis on the mechanism by which this practice attracts beneficial insects (e.g., predators, parasitoids) to reduce pest damage in intercropping systems. In addition, the pairings of specific legume species with the greatest potential to attract more beneficial insects and therefore reduce maize pests are also discussed. Finally, future research needs are also recommended. Findings are reviewed in the context of looking for long-term management strategies that can increase the adoption of integrated pest management programs in maize-based production systems.
摘要:
在世界许多地方,化学农药是玉米(ZeamaysL.)作物病虫害防治的主要方法。关注化学农药的使用对人们的健康和环境的负面影响,以及杀虫剂抗性的出现,加快了寻找有效替代品的尝试,低风险,和成本效益。众所周知,玉米-豆类间作系统对农业生态系统功能具有多种益处,包括害虫调节。本文重点介绍了玉米-豆类间作系统对昆虫多样性和丰度的影响,作为玉米作物害虫调控机制。首先,这篇综述结合了玉米-豆科植物间作的知识,特别强调这种做法吸引有益昆虫的机制(例如,捕食者,寄生虫)以减少间作系统中的害虫损害。此外,还讨论了具有最大潜力吸引更多有益昆虫并因此减少玉米害虫的特定豆类物种的配对。最后,还建议未来的研究需求。在寻找长期管理策略的背景下,对研究结果进行了审查,这些策略可以增加玉米生产系统中病虫害综合管理计划的采用。
