China has the largest wheat growing area in the world. Global climate change and changing agricultural methods have exacerbated pest damage to wheat crops in China. Chemical pesticides are still the main method of controlling wheat pests but over-dependence on pesticides leads to a series of problems, such as environmental pollution and pest resistance. Chinese scientists have developed ecological pest regulation technology and established a wheat pest regulation system based on landscape design. This paper summarizes advances in the use of integrated pest control to protect wheat crops in China, and discusses future prospects for research on the control of wheat pests in light of overseas trends.
