Biocontrol is among the most promising methods for a safe,
environmentally benign and sustainable crop protection. Microbial
pesticides offer a great potential, and it is anticipated that they
will become a substantial part of the use of all crop protection
products. Their development and commercialization, however, has
been difficult and with many failures. For the first time, a
rational and structured roadmap has been designed for the
development and commercialization of microbial pest control
products, based on entomopathogenic bacteria, fungi, viruses and
nematodes, for the control of arthropod pests. The emphasis lies on
strain screening, product development, up to successful
commercialization, from a bio-industry's viewpoint. The building
blocks of the entire process are identified. The selection criteria
for a microbial pest control agent are defined as well as critical
parameters for the development of the product. Implementation of
the product into an integrated pest management programme is pivotal
for a substantial market uptake. Three phases are distinguished for
successful adoption in the market: an appropriate application
strategy, an optimal implementation strategy, and an effective
adoption strategy. Key success and failure factors are identified.
Registration is a major hurdle for biopesticides. Salient
registration issues are treated and useful information presented.
The road to a successful microbial pest control product is
designed. Diagrams illustrate the stepwise approach of the entire
process. A future perspective on the biopesticide market is
presented with limiting and promotional factors and trends. The
significant drivers for success are food safety concern, new
research and technology, changes in the regulatory climate, and the
occurrence of new invasive pests. This systematic roadmap with a
strong focus on economics and market introduction will assist
academic researchers and industrial developers of bi
