Abstract: Microbial pesticides belong to bio- pesticides and can be divided into two categories: living microorganisms and agricultural antibiotics. Microbial pesticides are more widely used in biological control of fruit pests and diseases. From a dialectical point of view, the pros and cons of microbial pesticides are analyzed according to the characteristics of microbial pesticides. Microbial pesticides have many advantages, such as being safe to non-target organisms, stable controlling effects, having wonderful environmental compatibility and wide resources, etc. There are other aspects of microbial pesticides that we should note and improve, such as slow medicinal effects, being vulnerable to environmental factors and the narrow range of pest control, etc. From the point of ecological organic agriculture, applications of microbial germicides, microbial insecticides and microbial herbicides are elaborated in detail. From the perspective of the integration of research, teaching and production, some problems in the process of microbial pesticides research, development and promotion are analyzed, including low transformation rate of research, mixed product quality, imperfect evaluation system of the products. In future studies, we should strengthen the screening research and commercialization of microbial strains, establish and improve the development, production and marketing system of microbial pesticide.
