As one of the common garden pests, termites hinder the absorption and transmission of water and nutrients by plants, which in turn leads to weak growth of plants and seriously affects the overall health and sustainable development of garden greening. The biological characteristics, damage features of termites in landscaping and their impacts on the economy and ecology were systematically analyzed. At the same time, an integrated management strategy that combines physical control, biological control and chemical control was proposed. Termites have slender bodies with flat abdomens. Their mouthparts are suitable for chewing and they are well-suited to feeding on plant-based foods such as wood. It is composed of various roles such as worker ants, soldiers and reproductive ants. The types, ages and health conditions of garden plants all affect the extent of termite infestation, and the internal structure of wood that had been eroded by termites was hollowed out and damaged, and its compressive strength dropped significantly. Termites have had certain negative impacts on both the economy and the ecology. Termite erosion not only accelerates the decay and damage of wood but also disrupts the natural balance of the garden ecosystem. Adopting a comprehensive management strategy that combines physical control, biological control and chemical control is conducive to reducing the damage caused by termites. In terms of physical control, termites can be controlled through methods such as temperature regulation, sound wave pest control, light attraction, and obstacle protection. In terms of biological control, termites are controlled by the introduction of natural enemies and the application of biological agents. In terms of chemical control, chlorpyrifos, pyrethroids and imidacloprid are used to control termites. This article provides a reference for the systematic management of termites and the improvement of the quality of landscaping.

The occurrence conditions of wheat Fusarium head blight were analyzed in Fengyang, Anhui Province, based on local climatic conditions, and integrated management strategies for the disease were proposed.The study area has an average annual temperature of approximately 14.8 ℃ and an average annual rainfall of 912 mm, with relative humidity ranging between 75% and 80%. The climate is mild with distinct seasonal variations. The soils are predominantly cinnamon, paddy, and sandy loams, characterized by deep layers, good structure, and abundant organic matter, all providing favorable conditions for the occurrence of wheat Fusarium head blight. Furthermore, crop rotation patterns such as maize-wheat and rice-wheat provide suitable overwintering conditions for the pathogen, leading to the annual accumulation of inoculum and increasing the risk of disease outbreaks. In response to the above conditions, the following control measures should be taken: to reduce the accumulation of pathogen sources, the rotation of crops should be adjusted and the treatment of crop residues optimized; to address factors such as temperature, humidity and soil, agricultural measures such as selecting resistant varieties and optimizing water and fertilizer management to reduce field humidity; employing biochemical controls using plant growth regulators and immune inducers; and applying chemical controls, using high efficacy agents like prothioconazole while alternating modes of action to delay resistance development. Post-harvest, rapid drying or sunning of grains to safe moisture levels and enhanced storage management are essential to prevent mold and toxin accumulation, ensuring food safety. Future efforts should focus on leveraging technologies such as gene cloning, functional molecular markers, and remote sensing monitoring to strengthen the breeding of resistant varieties and improve disease surveillance. These advances will enhance the control of wheat scab and promote the sustainable development of the related industry.

The study used conventional observation data, numerical forecast products, and other materials to conduct a diagnostic analysis of the causes of a severe convective weather process, characterized by hail, thunderstorm gales, and short-term heavy rainfall, that occurred in Tieling, Liaoning, from the evening of September 8 to the night of September 9, 2021. The analysis was carried out from aspects including circulation background, physical quantity characteristics, and radar echo analysis. The results indicated that this severe convective weather process was influenced by a combination of factors, including the Northeast Cold Vortex, upper-level jet streams, mid-to-lower-level shear lines, and an unstable atmospheric structure characterized by dry and cold upper layers and warm and moist lower layers. The surface convergence line served as the key mechanism triggering the release of unstable energy during this severe convective weather event. Additionally, factors such as significant convective available potential energy, moderate vertical wind shear, and an appropriate 0°C layer height contributed to the widespread occurrence of hailstorms. The large hailfall areas from this event showed a good correspondence with the regions of high vertical accumulated liquid water content estimated by the SWAN model, providing some predictive significance for the occurrence of hailstorms, including large hailstones. Additionally, the warning signals for this event were issued using a refined release strategy, providing technical references for targeted preventive measures.
The characteristics of warm winters over the past 67 years in the study area were analyzed based on meteorological observation data from the Fengyang National Basic Meteorological Station in Anhui, China, from 1957 to 2023, including winter average temperature (T), average maximum temperature (MTh), and average minimum temperature (MTe). Methods such as correlation coefficient analysis, Mann-Kendall test, and linear trend estimation were employed. The results indicate that the winter average temperatures for strong warm, warm, normal, and cold winter types in the study area were 4.3–4.7 °C, 3.2–4.2 °C, 2.4–3.1 °C, and 0.4–2.3 °C, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that sunshine duration (S) was negatively correlated with MTe and precipitation (R), with correlation coefficients of -0.471 and -0.647, respectively, while most other climatic elements showed positive correlations. The Mann-Kendall trend and abrupt change tests demonstrated that from 1957 to 2023, winter T, MTh, MTe, and R in the study area exhibited significant increasing trends, whereas S showed a significant decreasing trend. Except for Th, abrupt changes were detected in all other climatic elements. Linear trend estimation indicated that the climatic tendency rates for winter T, R, and S were 0.166 °C/10 a, 8.106 mm/10 a, and -16.939 h/10 a, respectively. The findings provide a meteorological reference for agricultural production.
