This paper provides an overview of research on plant pest control. It reviews the history of the struggle against plant diseases, insects, and weeds and summarizes ancient Chinese agricultural books' thoughts on plant protection. The paper identifies plant pests as a target and presents six types of plant protection methods and 36 subdivision measures. It also reviews the development of pesticide application technology, with a focus on performance measurement and simulation and modeling of pesticide-spraying systems. The paper concludes by proposing three suggestions for further research in plant protection, including considerations for human and environmental health, sustainable and eco-friendly application media, and efficient application equipment systems.
In this review, through reviewing the history of the struggle between human beings and plant diseases, insects and weeds, more specifically thoughts on plant protection in ancient Chinese agricultural books, the recognition of plant pests as a target and six types of plant protection methods and 36 subdivision measures are summarized. Then, we focus on the development overview of pesticide application technology and conduct a systematic review by combining the development timeline of pesticide application and key technologies including performance measurement and the simulation and modeling of pesticide-spraying systems. Finally, three suggestions for further research are proposed from the perspectives of human beings' and environmental health, sustainable and eco-friendly application media and efficient application equipment systems in plant protection.
