Naturally occurring baculoviruses can be used to control a wide range of insect pests. Most baculoviruses are used as biopesticides, that is, they are sprayed onto high-density pest populations in a manner akin to the use of synthetic chemical pesticides. However, other strategies that use the biological features of the viruses are also possible and should increase as we expand our knowledge of baculovirus ecology. In order to develop a baculovirus control program, several areas need to be studied before progressing to large scale field studies and commercialization. These range from laboratory efficacy testing and the development of production systems to detailed study of pest behavior and the development of appropriate application strategies.
天然存在的杆状病毒可用于控制多种害虫。大多数杆状病毒用作生物杀虫剂，也就是说，它们以类似于合成化学农药的使用方式喷洒到高密度害虫种群上。然而，利用病毒生物学特性的其他策略也是可行的，并且随着我们对杆状病毒生态学知识的扩展，这种策略应该会增加。为了制定杆状病毒控制计划，在进行大规模田间研究和商业化之前，需要对几个领域进行研究。这些领域包括实验室功效测试和生产系统的开发，以及对害虫行为的详细研究和适当应用策略的开发。
