Abstract: Microbial pesticides, known for their high efficiency, low risk, specificity, and environmental friendliness, have become a global strategic emerging industry. This paper compared the registered active ingredients of microbial pesticides in China and the United States, revealing that China has registered a total of 45 bacterial, fungal, and viral microbial pesticide active ingredients, accounting for 35.43% of those registered in the United States. Specifically, the number of bacterial, fungal and viral ingredients of China accounted for 30.00%, 26.67% and 100.00% of that in the United States, respectively. China's registered active ingredients involved 39 species and subspecies, representing 55.71% of those in the United States, with bacterial ingredients accounting for 59.26%, fungal ingredients for 34.38%, and viral ingredients for 109.09%. Among the species and subspecies registered only in one country, China has 19 unique entries, making up 38.00% of those in the United States, with bacteria accounting for 42.11%, fungi for 8.70%, and viruses for 112.50%. This study aims to provide important references for the development of microbial pesticides in China.
