Here, we review the literature on the development and application of hydrogel compounds for insect pest management. Researchers have used hydrogel compounds for the past few decades to achieve the controlled release of various contact insecticides, but in recent years, hydrogel compounds have also been used to absorb and deliver targeted concentrations of toxicants within a liquid bait to manage insect pests. The highly absorbent hydrogel acts as a controlled-release formulation that keeps the liquid bait available and palatable to the target pests. This review discusses the use of various types of hydrogel compounds in pest management based on different environmental settings (e.g., agricultural, urban, and natural areas), pest systems (e.g., different taxa), and modes of insecticide delivery (e.g., spray vs bait). Due to their unique physicochemical properties, hydrogel compounds have great potential to be developed into new and efficacious pest management strategies with minimal environmental impact. We will also discuss the future research and development of hydrogels in this review.
在这里，我们回顾了水凝胶化合物在害虫管理中的开发和应用的文献。过去几十年，研究人员一直在使用水凝胶化合物来实现各种接触性杀虫剂的控制释放，但近年来，水凝胶化合物也被用于吸收和输送液体诱饵中的靶向浓度的毒物，以管理害虫。高吸水性的水凝胶充当了一种控释制剂，使液体诱饵对目标害虫保持可用和可口。本综述根据不同的环境设置（例如农业、城市和自然区域）、害虫系统（例如不同的分类群）和杀虫剂输送方式（例如喷雾与诱饵）讨论了各种类型的水凝胶化合物在害虫管理中的应用。由于其独特的物理化学性质，水凝胶化合物具有很大的潜力，可以开发成对环境影响最小的新型和有效的害虫管理策略。我们还将在本综述中讨论水凝胶的未来研究和发展。
