Sternorrhyncha representatives are serious pests of agriculture and forestry all over the world, primarily causing damage to woody plants. Sternorrhyncha members are vectors for the transfer of a large number of viral diseases, and subsequently, the host plant weakens. Additionally, many are inherent in the release of honeydew, on which fungal diseases develop. Today, an innovative approach is needed to create new and effective ways to control the number of these insects based on environmentally friendly insecticides. Of particular relevance to such developments is the need to take into account the large number of organisms living together with insect pests in this group, including beneficial insects. Practically without changing their location on their host plant, they adopted to be more invisible and protected due to their small size, symbiosis with ants, the ability to camouflage with a leaf, and moderately deplete plants and others, rarely leading them to death but still causing substantial economic loss in the subtropics and tropics. Due to the lack of presence in the literature, this review fills in this pesky spot by examining (on the example of distinct species from four superfamilies) the characteristic adaptations for this suborder and the chemical methods of combating these insects that allow them to survive in various environmental conditions, suggesting new and highly promising ways of using olinscides for plant protection against Sternorrhyncha members.
粉虱类昆虫是世界各地农林业的严重害虫,主要对木本植物造成损害。粉虱类昆虫成员是多种病毒病传播的媒介,随后寄主植物会变弱。此外,许多粉虱会分泌蜜露,真菌病害会在蜜露上滋生。如今,需要一种创新方法来创造新的有效途径,基于环保型杀虫剂来控制这些昆虫的数量。对于此类发展而言,特别相关的是需要考虑到与该类群害虫共生的大量生物,包括益虫。它们实际上无需改变在寄主植物上的位置,由于体型小、与蚂蚁共生、能与树叶伪装以及适度消耗植物等特点,它们变得更不易被发现且受到保护,很少导致植物死亡,但仍在亚热带和热带地区造成重大经济损失。由于文献中缺乏相关内容,本综述通过研究(以四个总科的不同物种为例)该亚目的特征适应性以及对抗这些昆虫的化学方法来填补这一空白,这些方法使它们能够在各种环境条件下生存,同时提出了使用油剂防治粉虱类昆虫保护植物的新的极具前景的方法。
