Mirids (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) feed upon a wide variety of cultivated and wild plants and can be economically important crop pests. They have traditionally been perceived as innocuous herbivores in East Asia; however, population levels of various mirid species have dramatically increased over the past decades. High-profile pests such as spp., spp., and spp. are now widely distributed across the region, and their infestation pressure is associated with climate, agroecological conditions, and farming practices. This review outlines how an in-depth understanding of pest biology, a systems-level characterization of pest ecology, and a comprehensive evaluation of integrated pest management tactics have enabled sustainable management of mirids across crop boundaries and harvest cycles. This work underscores how more holistic, integrative research approaches can accelerate the implementation of area-wide management of generalist pests, effectively prevent pest population build-up and yield impact, and shrink the environmental footprint of agriculture. In addition to highlighting the merits of interdisciplinary systems approaches, we discuss prospects and challenges for the sustainable management of polyphagous mirid pests in landscape matrices.
盲蝽（半翅目：异翅亚目：盲蝽科）以多种栽培植物和野生植物为食，可能成为具有经济重要性的作物害虫。在东亚，它们传统上被视为无害的食草动物；然而，在过去几十年中，各种盲蝽物种的种群数量急剧增加。诸如 spp.、 spp. 和 spp. 等引人注目的害虫现在广泛分布于该地区，它们的侵扰压力与气候、农业生态条件和耕作方式有关。本综述概述了对害虫生物学的深入理解、害虫生态学的系统层面特征描述以及对综合害虫管理策略的全面评估如何实现跨作物界限和收获周期对盲蝽的可持续管理。这项工作强调了更全面、综合的研究方法如何能够加速实施多食性害虫的区域管理，有效防止害虫种群增长和产量影响，并缩小农业的环境足迹。除了强调跨学科系统方法的优点外，我们还讨论了在景观矩阵中对多食性盲蝽害虫进行可持续管理的前景和挑战。
