Biopesticides are needed for control of endemic and invasive pests impacting New Zealand's primary sectors including pests that are emerging as a result of climate change and farming intensification. Products developed in New Zealand are usually based on endemic strains of microorganisms, including new species/strains with novel modes of action. For example, Invade and BioShield were developed using endemic strains of the bacterium Serratia entomophila, for use in New Zealand only. To date, most of these home-grown products have either struggled for market share or have remained in small niche markets. However, the number of products registered for use has been steadily increasing in response to consumer demand. Factors limiting past use of biopesticides in New Zealand include market size, registration costs and limited efficacy over a range of climatic zones. Many promising new agents are currently under development as biopesticides with international applications and the launch of several new start-up companies suggests a brighter future for biopesticide use in New Zealand.
生物农药是控制影响新西兰主要产业的地方性和入侵性害虫所必需的，包括由于气候变化和农业集约化而出现的害虫。在新西兰开发的产品通常基于地方性微生物菌株，包括具有新作用模式的新物种/菌株。例如，Invade 和 BioShield 是使用新西兰特有的昆虫细菌 Serratia entomophila 菌株开发的，仅供新西兰使用。迄今为止，这些本土产品中的大多数要么在争夺市场份额方面举步维艰，要么仍局限于小众市场。然而，为了满足消费者的需求，注册使用的产品数量一直在稳步增加。过去在新西兰使用生物农药的限制因素包括市场规模、注册成本和在一系列气候带的效果有限。目前，许多有前途的新型制剂正在作为具有国际应用的生物农药进行开发，几家新的初创公司的推出表明，生物农药在新西兰的使用前景更加光明。
