Abstract: Brevibacillus laterosporus shows broad spectra of bioactivities which make itself great importance of application in agriculture. In this review, the bioactivities of B. laterosporus in the biological control of plant disease and insect pests, plant-growth promoting and stress tolerance, the improvement of soil fertility and the microbial bioremediation of environment were summarized, and the problems existing in its large-scale application in agriculture were analyzed. The development trend and application potential in agriculture were further prospected.

Key words: Brevibacillus laterosporus, biological control, plant insect pests and diseases, plant growth promoting, abiotc stress resistance
