有关“害虫防治(Insect Pest Control)”与“害虫治理(Insect Pest Management)”这两个术语的含义,尤其是两者之间含义上的差异,国内已有多种提法。例如,《昆虫学通论》(北京农业大学主编,1981)提出“害虫防治”与“害虫治理”是人类对付害虫的两种不同的战略,前者是“采取措施把害虫消灭于大量发生之前”,而后者是“要求把害虫种群数量长期控制在引起经济损失的水平以下,消除为害的威胁”。朱弘复(大自然,1981(3):47)则认为“害虫治理”是战略,“害虫防治”是策略,“害虫防治”完全可以包括在“害虫治理”范畴之内。 There are various domestic definitions of the meaning of the two terms “Insect Pest Control” and “Insect Pest Management”, especially the differences between them. For example, “Entomological Review” (ed. Beijing Agricultural University, 1981) suggested that “pest control” and “pest management” are two different strategies used by humans to deal with pests. The former is “taking steps to eliminate pests before they occur in large numbers” While the latter “require that the pest population be controlled for the long term below the level that caused economic loss and the threat of harm eliminated.” Zhu Hongfu (Nature, 1981 (3): 47) argued that “pest management” is a strategy, “pest control” is a strategy and “pest control” can be fully included in the “pest management” category.
