Technical Abstract: Microorganisms able to infect and kill insect pests, metabolites from plants and microorganisms, and transgenic crops are biotechnologically derived products that are being promoted for use to control insect pests in lieu of chemical insecticides. Products based on these technologies effectively control important pests of health, food, and agriculture systems. Among products classified as bioinsecticides, entomopathogenic microorganisms, organism metabolites, and transgenic seeds are considered as biotechnology derived agents for insect pest control. There are many bioinsecticides that are efficacious and currently available as commercial products in the agroindustry market. This review describes background of the general categories of bioinsecticides and lists current bioinsecticide products available for use to control insect pests.
