The quality of fresh tea leaves is crucial to the final product, and maintaining microbial stability in tea plantations is essential for optimal plant growth. Unique microbial communities play a critical role in shaping tea flavor and enhancing plant resilience against biotic stressors. Tea production is frequently challenged by pests and diseases, which can compromise both yield and quality. While biotic stress generally has detrimental effects on plants, it also activates defense metabolic pathways, leading to shifts in microbial communities. Microbial biocontrol agents (MBCAs), including entomopathogenic and antagonistic microorganisms, present a promising alternative to synthetic pesticides for mitigating these stresses. In addition to controlling pests and diseases, MBCAs can influence the composition of tea plant microbial communities, potentially enhancing plant health and resilience. However, despite significant advances in laboratory research, the field-level impacts of MBCAs on tea plant microecology remain insufficiently explored. This review provides insights into the interactions among tea plants, insects, and microorganisms, offering strategies to improve pest and disease management in tea plantations.
新鲜茶叶的质量对最终产品至关重要，而在茶园中维持微生物稳定性对于植物的最佳生长至关重要。独特的微生物群落对塑造茶叶风味和增强植物对生物胁迫的抗性起着关键作用。茶叶生产经常受到病虫害的挑战，这会影响产量和质量。虽然生物胁迫通常对植物有不利影响，但它也会激活防御代谢途径，导致微生物群落发生变化。微生物生物防治剂（MBCAs），包括昆虫病原微生物和拮抗微生物，是减轻这些胁迫的合成农药的一种有前途的替代品。除了控制病虫害外，MBCAs还可以影响茶树微生物群落的组成，有可能增强植物健康和抗性。然而，尽管实验室研究取得了重大进展，但MBCAs对茶园微生态的田间影响仍未得到充分探索。本综述深入探讨了茶树、昆虫和微生物之间的相互作用，为改善茶园病虫害管理提供了策略。
