Abstract
Abstract:
In addition to the economic losses because of insect pests, a significant part of insect pests
can instantly lead to the deterioration and mildew of agricultural products, which all have great hidden
hazards to human health. In view of insect pests, the principle means of control and prevention
in China is spraying chemical agents. Nevertheless, spraying a large number of chemical factors to
control insect pests for a long time will not only have a consequential impact on the ecological environment,
but also make insect pests boost resistance, and because a large number of chemical residues
on the surface of crops will also have an unfavourable impact on the human body. The detection
and application of insecticidal proteins are of great significance for the progress of modern insecticidal
science. This article studies the research progress of insecticidal proteins and considering their
target pests, lists their common insecticidal utilization scenarios, and anticipates the development
direction of insecticidal proteins in the future.
