Biological Control Resources of Gynaephora spp., and Their Application Status

doi:10.16409/j.cnki.2095-039x.2025.11.003

Abstract

Abstract: Gynaephora spp. are among the most destructive pests in alpine grasslands of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, feeding predominantly on Cyperaceae and Poaceae grasses, and thereby accelerating grassland degradation and ecological deterioration. As a cornerstone of sustainable pest management, biological control plays a critical role in the integrated management of these grassland caterpillars. We provide a comprehensive review of the natural enemies and other biotic agents associated with Gynaephora spp., cataloguing 14 parasitoids, 10 predators, and 38 additional organisms with demonstrated or potential biocontrol value. Advances in the evaluation and deployment of these agents, both within China and internationally, are critically reviewed with emphasis on their efficacy. This review establishes a scientific foundation for the long-term, environment-friendly management of Gynaephora spp. through utilization of biocontrol resources.

Key words: Gynaephora spp., biological control, parasitic natural enemies, predatory natural enemies, biological control resources
