Crops face constant threats from insect pests, which can lead to sudden disasters and global famine. One of the most dangerous pests is the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), which poses a significant threat to citrus plantations worldwide. Effective and adaptive management strategies to combat ACP are always in demand. Plant resistance (PR) is a key element in pest management, playing crucial roles such as deterring pests through antifeedant and repellant properties, while also attracting natural enemies of these pests. One effective and innovative approach is the use of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) to reduce pest populations. Additionally, other natural enemies play an important role in controlling certain insect pests. Given the significance of PR, EPF, and natural arthropod enemies (NAE), this review highlights the benefits of these strategies against ACP, drawing on successful examples from recent research. Furthermore, we discuss how EPF can be effectively utilized in citrus orchards, proposing strategies to ensure its efficient use and safeguard food security in the future.

The highly developed sensitive olfactory system is essential for Scott (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) adults, an widely distributed natural predatory enemy, to locate host plants. During this process, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to have significant involvement in the olfactory recognition. However, the roles of OBPs in the olfactory perception of are not frequently reported.

The invasive stink bug has become an important pest of many crops, causing severe economic losses to farmers. Control of the pest mainly relies on multiple applications of broad-spectrum insecticides, undermining the integrated pest management programs and causing secondary pest outbreaks. In the native area, egg parasitoids are the main natural enemies of , among which is considered the predominant species.
