It's well known that regional agricultural landscape pattern can significantly regulate the relationship between plants, herbivorous insects and natural enemies. The improvement of the ecosystem services of regional agricultural landscape pattern has profound impacts on pest control, which has received much interests in current landscape ecology and pest control studies. This review systematically summarized the impacts of agricultural landscape pattern, as well as its succession on the diversity and ecological pests control of important natural enemies. From the perspective of different natural enemies, the impacts of agricultural landscape pattern on natural predators, parasi-toids, beneficial microorganisms and its ecological pests control functions were all recapped. We outlined crop spatial distribution and vegetation habitat management strategies. This review could provide useful insights in improving the ecosystem services of natural enemies in agricultural landscape based on the vegetation habitat management, and offer theoretical support for regional ecological agriculture in response to the strategy of 'chemical pesticide reduction application'.
