Beneficial insects and pests are two types of insects commonly found in agriculture and ecosystems, and they have an important impact on plants, crops and ecosystems. Here is a detailed introduction to beneficial insects and pests:
bee:
Bees are important pollinators, helping crops reproduce by collecting pollen and nectar. The pollination services of bees are crucial in the production of many crops.
ladybug:
Ladybugs are natural enemy insects that feed on various pests, especially playing an important role in controlling pests such as aphids and mites. They are widely used in biological control to protect crops from pests.
Aphid natural enemies:
Parasitic wasps including ladybugs, ants, and aphids can effectively control the number of aphids and protect crops.
Ant:
Certain species of ants can help protect plants from other pests, while also helping to aerate the soil and promote the breakdown of organic matter in the soil.
aphid:
Aphids are widely distributed pests that feed on plant sap. Massive reproduction can affect the growth and development of crops, leading to reduced yields or even death.
Cotton bollworm:
Cotton bollworm is an important pest of crops such as cotton and corn. Its larvae feed on leaves, causing plants to wither and reduce yields.
Corn borer:
Corn borer is one of the major pests of corn and other crops, causing serious damage to corn leaves, stems, fruits, etc.
Red spider:
Red spider mites are a common pest on rice. They suck the juice from rice leaves, causing them to turn yellow and reduce yields.
Pests can directly or indirectly have a negative impact on crops, forests and human life, while beneficial insects are beneficial to agriculture and ecosystems and can promote the healthy growth of plants by controlling the number of pests. Therefore, understanding and effectively managing these insect populations is critical for agricultural production and ecological conservation.
