The widespread use of chemical pesticides has raised concerns regarding environmental contamination, pest resistance, and negative effects on beneficial arthropods. This review examines the role of biological control and habitat management in sustainable rice pest management. It highlights the diversity and ecological roles of natural enemies, including parasitoid wasps, mirid bugs, ladybird beetles, and spiders, which help suppress pest populations in rice ecosystems. Key habitat management approaches, such as conservation biological control, ecological engineering, banker plant systems, flower strips, and the preservation of non-crop habitats, are discussed for their capacity to enhance the abundance and effectiveness of natural enemies. The review also considers integrating these approaches into IPM programs to reduce reliance on pesticides while maintaining crop productivity. Evidence from rice-growing regions demonstrates the effectiveness of habitat-based strategies in improving pest suppression and strengthening ecosystem resilience. However, challenges related to landscape complexity, farmer adoption, long-term implementation, and the need for a clear roadmap for future landscape-scale entomological research remain. Future research should focus on optimizing habitat management practices and integrating ecological approaches with modern agricultural technologies to support sustainable rice production.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects17080754","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,23]],"date-time":"2026-07-23T09:11:26Z","timestamp":1784797886000},"page":"754","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Optimizing Habitat Management to Boost Beneficial Insect Populations for Effective Rice Pest Control"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7383-5488","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gebretsadik Kifle","family":"Gebreegziabiher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Food Crops, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yunnan Key Laboratory for Rice Genetic Improvement, Kunming 650201, China"},{"name":"Tigray Agricultural Research Institute, Mekelle 492, Tigray, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuyan","family":"Kou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Food Crops, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yunnan Key Laboratory for Rice Genetic Improvement, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianghong","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yuxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yuxi 653100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yuxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yuxi 653100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Provincial General Station of Agricultural Technology Extension, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Songqiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yuanjiang Hani, Yi and Dai Autonomous County Agricultural Development Service Center, Yuxi 653100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Binbin","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yuanjiang Hani, Yi and Dai Autonomous County Agricultural Development Service Center, Yuxi 653100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheng","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Food Crops, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yunnan Key Laboratory for Rice Genetic Improvement, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weihua","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Food Crops, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yunnan Key Laboratory for Rice Genetic Improvement, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhenhua","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Food Crops, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yunnan Key Laboratory for Rice Genetic Improvement, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pingrong","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Food Crops, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yunnan Key Laboratory for Rice Genetic Improvement, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhigang","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Food Crops, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yunnan Key Laboratory for Rice Genetic Improvement, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Food Crops, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yunnan Key Laboratory for Rice Genetic Improvement, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Mohidem, N.A., Hashim, N., Shamsudin, R., and Che Man, H.
