Research progress of species diversity and control techniques for insect pests of blueberry in China
Blueberry is a popular berry fruits and its cultivation in China has grown rapidly in recent years.The insect pests are one of the most important factors affecting the healthy production of blueberries,and the prevention and control of blueberry pests is an important part of ensuring the healthy development of the blueberry industry.In this review,we firstly discussed the blueberry pest species,the occurrence and damage characteristics of major pests,including the composition and population dynamics of dominant pests in different blueberry production areas in China.Secondly,we described the integrated management techniques for blueberry pests,such as plant quarantine,agricultural measures and chemical control.Finally,we analyzed the problems and challenges in the current blueberry research,as well as proposed outlook of future research directions and development trends.Through the comprehensive analysis and summary of the diversity of blueberry pests,the characteristics of main species and the current status on prevention and control technology,it will provide a scientific basis and guidance for blueberry production.
