In China,there is a long history over 2300 years of entomogenous fungi used as medicines,but their use against insect pests did not start until mid 1950’s.In 1970,the central government held a workshop to encourage the use of Beauveria bassiana against pine caterpillars,making the year a milestone in Chinese history of microbial pest control.Since then,quite a few fungi have been tried for control of over 60 forest and crop pests.In the past decades,low tech production has been being improved towards commercial production with higher techniques.Until 2006,5 products of fungal insecticides have been registered.Meanwhile,large scale application techniques have been being improved with molecular ecological approach towards a rational application strategy.

Since then, quite a few fungi have been tried for control of over 60 forest and crop pests. in the past decades, low tech production has been being asiented towards commercial production with higher techniques. Until 2006,5 products of fungal insecticides have been registered .Meanwhile, large scale application techniques have been being improved with molecular ecological approach towards a rational application strategy.
