Agro-environmental sustainability is based upon the adoption of efficient resources in agro-practices that have a nominal impact on the ecosystem. Insect pests are responsible for causing severe impacts on crop productivity. Wide ranges of agro-chemicals have been employed over the last 50 years to overcome crop yield losses due to insect pests. But better knowledge about the hazards due to chemical pesticides and other pest resistance and resurgence issues necessitates an alternative for pest control. The applications of biological pesticides offer a best alternate that is safe, cost-effective, easy to adoption and successful against various insect pests and pathogens. Like other organisms, insects can get a wide range of diseases from various microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, and nematodes. In order to create agricultural pest management practices that are environmentally beneficial, bacterial entomopathogens are being thoroughly studied. Utilization of bacterial biopesticides has been adopted for the protection of agricultural products. The different types of toxin complexes released by various microorganisms and their mechanisms of action are recapitulated. The present review described the diversity and biocontrol prospective of certain bacteria and summarised the potential of bacterial biopesticides for the management of agricultural pests, insects, and other phytopathogenic microorganisms in agricultural practices.
农业环境可持续性基于在农业实践中采用对生态系统影响较小的高效资源。害虫对作物生产力造成严重影响。在过去50年里，人们使用了各种各样的农用化学品来克服因害虫导致的作物产量损失。但是，鉴于对化学农药危害以及其他害虫抗药性和再猖獗问题有了更深入的了解，有必要寻找一种替代的害虫防治方法。生物农药的应用提供了一种最佳替代方案，它安全、经济高效、易于采用且对各种害虫和病原体都有效。与其他生物一样，昆虫会感染来自各种微生物的多种疾病，如细菌、真菌、病毒、原生动物和线虫。为了创建对环境有益的农业害虫管理方法，人们正在深入研究细菌昆虫病原体。利用细菌生物农药已被用于农产品保护。综述了各种微生物释放的不同类型毒素复合物及其作用机制。本综述描述了某些细菌的多样性和生物防治前景，并总结了细菌生物农药在农业实践中管理农业害虫、昆虫和其他植物病原微生物的潜力。
