Melanoplus differentialis (Thomas, 1865) is a widely distributed Orthopteran species in North America, including the United States and Mexico. Known for causing damage to various crops such as vegetables and grains throughout its lifecycle. In South Korea, it has been observed concentratedly in the vicinity of the Onsan National Industrial Park in Ulsan and was designated as “Ecosystem Disturbing Species” by Ministy of Environment in 2020. This study aims to present foundational data on pest management strategies for Melanoplus differentialis identified within the Onsan National Industrial Park. Through collaborative efforts between the National Institute of Ecology, related agencies, and tenant private companies from 2020 to 2023, we will demonstrate the reduction in habitat area as a result of proactive pest control measures.

This present study aimed at invasion process, cataleptic mechanism and monitoring basis of Bemisia tabaci biotype Q species. The main content are as follows: (1) The introduction of Bemisia tabaci biotype Q species into China was discovered for the first time. The fixed-point monitoring for 10 years indicated the invasion, formation, expansion and eruption process of BBemisia tabaci biotype Q species in China. (2) The rapid genetic evolution and the basis of ecological adaptability were emphasized from the level of individual/group. The ecological elements and mechanism influencing competitive advantage translocation of the biotype B/Q species were analyzed from the level of the relationship among the species. The synergistic and interactional effect between the biotype Q species and biological factor were also analyzed from the level of the community/system. (3) The quick and new technology to detect and monitor biotype Q species and the damages and variation of population were established, significant damages controlling methods using insecticide agent and RNA interference were also studied.
