由于种植的作物的多样性、所需的美学完美性、失败造成的潜在经济损失以及遇到的大量节肢动物害虫，观赏植物生产中的害虫控制具有挑战性。每英亩价值较低的农作物，如中耕作物，可以承受一定程度的节肢动物害虫的损害，而不影响产量。然而，对寄生虫的伤害阈值基本上是零。农药是替代替代品的一种保护这种作物的可行方法。因此，本文旨在强调农药对观赏植物产业的重要性。农药为观赏植物生产者提供了许多好处，包括：（1）持续的可用性;（2）快速杀灭;（3）可靠和持续的控制;（4）提高作物产量和质量;（5）它们可用于防止入侵害虫的移动;（6）它们更便宜（7）它们可以减少植物病原体的传播;（8）它们可以与天敌结合使用。农药的使用将继续是对付节肢动物害虫的一项重要战略，以便观赏植物生产商能够在国内和国际市场上保持竞争力。
Pest control in ornamental production is challenging owing to the diversity of crops grown, the desired aesthetic perfection, the potential economic loss due to failure and the multitude of arthropod pests encountered. Agricultural crops of less value per acre, such as row crops, can tolerate a certain level of damage from arthropod pests without compromising yields. Damage thresholds for ornamentals, however, are essentially zero. Pesticides are a viable method of protection for such a crop in lieu of alternatives. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of pesticides to the ornamental industry. Pesticides provide many benefits to ornamental producers, including: (1) consistent availability; (2) rapid kill; (3) reliable and consistent control; (4) increased crop production and quality; (5) they may be used to prevent movement of invasive pests; (6) they are less expensive (in general) than alternatives; (7) they may reduce plant pathogenic transmission; (8) they may be used in conjunction with natural enemies. Pesticide use will continue to be a significant strategy for dealing with arthropod pests so that ornamental producers can stay competitive in both national and international markets.
