Illicium verum is a characteristic"medicine and food"plant in China that is widely used in people's daily lives and has high economic and ecological value.In recent years,I.verum has been developed and applied in many fields,such as food,medicine,the electroplating industry,etc.With the continuous expansion of the I.verum planting scale,the losses caused by I.verum diseases and insect pests are also increasing.At present,research on I.verum diseases and insect pests at home and abroad has focused mainly on the identification and prevention of single diseases.In this review,we summarize the current literature on I.verum pests and diseases and their comprehensive control methods,among which there are 13 common diseases,the main of which are anthracnose,brown spot,and soot disease.There are more than 20 kinds of insect pests,and there are three kinds of frequent insect pests,mainly including leaf beetles,aphids,and scale insects.The damage caused by different pests and diseases is affected by different growth periods of I.verum,so the prevention and control of I.verum pests and dis-eases should be based on prevention and a comprehensive control strategy combining a variety of control measures.
