Abstract:

The article provides references for the prevention and management of Myospalax fontanieri, this study summarizes and analyzes the research progress regarding the ecological characteristics, damage traits, outbreak causes, and control methods of Myospalax fontanieri. Based on the current state of research and existing issues, it is proposed to strengthen and improve the population monitoring and damage assessment of Myospalax fontanieri. Additionally, the study encourages exploring an integrated pest management system centered on ecologically prioritized and environmentally friendly control technologies and products, to effectively regulate the population of Myospalax fontanieri and to protect the stability of agricultural production and the ecological environment.

Key words: Common Chinese zokor, biological characteristics, control techniques, chemical control, population dynamics
