Life tables are indispensable in IPM, offering an analysis of insect population dynamics. These tables record survival rates, fecundity, and other parameters at various developmental stages, enabling the identification of key factors that affect population numbers and the prediction of growth trajectories. This review discusses the application of life tables in agricultural pest management, including the assessment of the pest control capacity of natural enemies, the evaluation of biological agents, and the screening of insect-resistant plant species. In vector insect control, life tables are used to evaluate the transmission risks, model the population dynamics, and interfere with the life cycles of vector insects. For invasive pests, life tables help us to monitor population dynamics and predict future population sizes. In chemical pest control, life tables assist in evaluating the fitness costs of pesticide resistance, guiding insecticide selection, and optimizing application timing. In the final section, we explore future research directions, emphasizing the potential of integrating new technologies such as genomics, ethology, and satellite remote sensing to enhance life table analysis and improve IPM strategies.
生命表在综合害虫管理中不可或缺，可用于分析昆虫种群动态。这些表格记录了各个发育阶段的存活率、繁殖力和其他参数，有助于确定影响种群数量的关键因素，并预测种群增长轨迹。本文综述了生命表在农业害虫管理中的应用，包括评估天敌的控害能力、评价生物制剂以及筛选抗虫植物品种。在病媒昆虫控制方面，生命表用于评估传播风险、模拟种群动态以及干扰病媒昆虫的生命周期。对于入侵害虫，生命表有助于监测种群动态并预测未来种群规模。在化学害虫控制中，生命表有助于评估抗药性的适合度代价，指导杀虫剂选择并优化施药时机。在最后一部分，我们探讨了未来的研究方向，强调了整合基因组学、行为学和卫星遥感等新技术以加强生命表分析和改进综合害虫管理策略的潜力。
