Features: This book combines the author's latest research findings and systematically introduces the historical development, insecticidal mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages, cultivation and fermentation, downstream processing technologies, toxicity detection methods, enhancement of market competitiveness, and pesticide registration management methods of Bt biopesticides. It can serve as a textbook for graduate and undergraduate students in relevant fields at universities and colleges, as well as a reference book for researchers in research institutions or employees of companies and enterprises. Biopesticides refer to fungi, bacteria, viruses, protozoa naturally existing in the environment or genetically modified microbial preparations, as well as plant extracts used for the prevention and control of diseases, insects, weeds, and rodents. In 1970, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) was used as a biopesticide and began large-scale production. Due to its environmental friendliness, harmlessness to humans and livestock, no harm to natural enemies of insects, and difficulty in developing resistance, it has been highly favored by people. After more than 30 years of development, Bt biopesticides have made significant progress in production costs, technological content, production techniques, and theoretical research. This book combines the author's latest research findings and systematically introduces the historical development, advantages and disadvantages, insecticidal mechanisms, cultivation and fermentation, downstream processing technologies, toxicity detection methods, enhancement of market competitiveness, and pesticide registration management methods of Bt biopesticides. It is highly advanced, with novel content and abundant information. It can serve as a textbook for graduate and undergraduate students in relevant fields at universities and colleges, as well as a reference book for researchers in research institutions or employees of companies and enterprises. It is applicable to fields such as chemical engineering, pesticides, environmental science, and microbiology. This book systematically introduces the historical development, advantages and disadvantages, insecticidal mechanisms, cultivation and fermentation, downstream processing technologies, toxicity detection methods, enhancement of market competitiveness, and pesticide registration management methods of Bt biopesticides.
