Abstract: Chemical pesticides, as a necessary input in agricultural production, have greatly promoted crop yield and ensured food security since their invention. However, the abuse of chemical pesticides has caused serious damage to ecological environment and pollution to agricultural products. Biopesticides, as a category of environment-friendly pesticides, are emerging to gradually replace the chemical pesticides in recent years. From 2016 to 2018, a total of 49 projects in 12 tasks were launched with the "Comprehensive Technology Research and Development for Reduction and Efficiency Improvement of Chemical Fertilizers and Pesticide" project, which was aimed to solve the problems of excessive application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and backward product development. The implementation of this project greatly promoted green pesticide research and application in China. The product development, patent application, standard formulation, monograph publication, and application of biological pesticide related with the project were introduced in this paper, hoping to provide references for relevant researchers, production and business entities, administrative departments and users.

Key words: biogenic pesticides, landmark achievements, national key R&D program of China
