Worldwide sucking pests predominantly impact the cultivation of tea ( (L.) Kuntze), an economically significant crop. Sucking pests consume the plant sap by puncturing the vascular tissue of the host plant. Their trophic activity results in the curling of the tea leaves, followed by a dark brown or silver appearance with black spots. Sometimes, the symptom is confined to dry, dark, and dead leaves. All these symptoms have significantly reduced tea production over the past few decades. Sucking pests like mosquito bugs, thrips, jassids, aphids, and mites are primarily responsible for these damages in tea plants. It is crucial to use all the available eco-friendly resources to effectively implement integrated pest management strategies that reduce the sucking pest population in the tea plant ecosystem and produce pesticide-free tea. This review gives a comprehensive idea of sucking pests in tea plantations, their habits, age-old traditional methods used to control such pests, widely used synthetic pesticide treatments for instant pest control, pesticide tolerance management, and lastly, emerging sustainable methods to minimize the level of pesticide residue in this foliage crop. All these practices will help to decrease the adversities caused by pesticides to the environment.

茶树刺吸式害虫防治（Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze）：传统方法与生物防治策略相结合


世界范围内的刺吸式害虫主要影响茶树（(L.) Kuntze）的种植，茶树是一种具有重要经济意义的作物。刺吸式害虫通过刺穿寄主植物的维管组织来消耗植物汁液。它们的营养活动导致茶叶卷曲，随后呈现深棕色或银色的外观，并带有黑色斑点。有时，症状仅限于干燥、发黑和枯死的叶子。所有这些症状在过去几十年中都显着减少了茶叶产量。蚊虫、蓟马、雅西虫、蚜虫和螨虫等刺吸式害虫是造成茶树损害的主要原因。利用所有可用的生态友好资源，有效实施害虫综合防治策略，减少茶树生态系统中的刺吸式害虫数量并生产无农药茶叶至关重要。这篇综述全面介绍了茶园中的刺吸式害虫、它们的习性、用于控制此类害虫的古老传统方法、广泛使用的用于即时害虫控制的合成杀虫剂处理、杀虫剂耐受性管理，以及最后，新兴的可持续方法，以尽量减少这种观叶作物的农药残留水平。所有这些做法将有助于减少农药对环境造成的危害。
