We propose that a growing research base considering pest management as an ecosystem service can be leveraged to expand areawide pest management (AWPM) to an agroecological-oriented framework when addressing pest arthropods in cropping systems. This AWPM framework centers on the innate capacity of the agroecosystem to suppress pests and is supported with strategic insertion of AWPM tactics. Recent studies on agroecological pest management are valuable to identify AWPM candidates. The estimation and predictability of AWPM outcomes may be improved by measuring effects of interactions of pest and pest suppression agents, and mediating factors such as landscape and weather. This knowledge helps formulate selection and strategic insertion of AWPM tactics into the system to support innate pest suppression. Advances in biotechnology and agricultural engineering have increased effectiveness of AWPM tactics, further improving positive AWPM outcomes. Furthermore, multifunctional agricultural, environmental, and economic benefits may be seen when adopting this framework.
我们提出，当在作物系统中处理害虫节肢动物时，可以利用越来越多将害虫管理视为生态系统服务的研究基础，将区域范围的害虫管理（AWPM）扩展到以农业生态为导向的框架。该 AWPM 框架以农业生态系统抑制害虫的固有能力为中心，并辅以战略性地插入 AWPM 策略。最近关于农业生态害虫管理的研究对于确定 AWPM 候选策略很有价值。通过测量害虫和害虫抑制剂相互作用的影响以及景观和天气等中介因素，可以提高 AWPM 结果的估计和可预测性。这些知识有助于制定选择和战略性地将 AWPM 策略插入系统以支持固有害虫抑制的策略。生物技术和农业工程的进步提高了 AWPM 策略的有效性，进一步改善了积极的 AWPM 结果。此外，采用这种框架还可能带来多功能的农业、环境和经济效益。
