The use of predatory Hemiptera (Pentatomidae: Asopinae) in agroecosystems has increased considerably in the last decades. All Asopinae representatives are obligate predatory stink bugs but they are classified as zoophytophagous because they feed on prey and occasionally feed on plants. They prey on wide variety of insects including the agricultural pests Coleoptera, Diptera, and Lepidoptera. Despite the predatory potential of Asopinae, their use and establishment in the agroecosystems have some restrictions, yet. Here, the aim is to review the advances in biology, feeding strategies, and biological control for using Asopinae species with zoophytophagous-predatory habits (SZP) in the agroecosystems. We discuss four different approaches that can improve the worldwide effectiveness and popularization of SZPs representatives as biocontrol agents in crops,(i) feeding strategies, ingestion, and digestion;(ii) diets for survival during prey shortage;(iii) adaptation of species for biological control in crops; (iv) use of Asopinae in integrated pest management programs.

在过去的几十年中，在农业生态系统中使用掠食性半翅目（Pentatomidae：Asopinae）已大大增加。所有 Asopinae 代表都是专性捕食性臭虫，但它们被归类为动物食性臭虫，因为它们以猎物为食，偶尔以植物为食。它们捕食各种各样的昆虫，包括农业害虫鞘翅目、双翅目和鳞翅目。尽管 Asopinae 具有捕食潜力，但它们在农业生态系统中的使用和建立仍有一些限制。在这里，目的是回顾在农业生态系统中使用具有食虫性捕食习性 (SZP) 的 Asopinae 物种的生物学、饲养策略和生物控制方面的进展。我们讨论了四种不同的方法，这些方法可以提高 SZPs 代表作为作物生物防治剂的全球有效性和普及，(i) 喂养策略、摄取和消化；(ii) 在猎物短缺期间生存的饮食；(iii) 物种适应作物的生物防治；(iv) 在综合虫害管理计划中使用 Asopinae。
