Development Status and Future Prospects of Biological Pesticides

Since the central government launched the “low toxicity biological pesticide subsidy demonstration pilot project” in eight provinces and cities in 2011, the country has successively issued a series of policies to guide the application and promotion of biological pesticides. This paper collects and analyzes the data from the field of biological pesticide policy practice for more than ten years. The results show that there are many related policy texts on the promotion of biological pesticides, and the policies tend to be perfect; the state subsidies for biopesticides are wide in scope and large in investment. The number of scientific research achievements has increased, and the biological pesticide itself is insufficient. The number of biopesticide enterprises decreased and the sales revenue increased. There are differences in farmers’ perceptions of biopesticides and the application of pesticides is affected by different incentive mechanisms. Suggestions are: Improve the supervision mechanism of biological pesticide standards, and introduce special promotion policies for biological pesticides; build a chain service of research, production and marketing of biopesticides, and establish a processing base of botanical biopesticides; optimize biopesticide products and create a high-quality and low-cost industrial chain; focus on the development of biopesticides and realize technology to help, benefit and work for agriculture.
