| Popis: | The development of methods for pest management continued to be one of the main directions in development of biotechnology throughout the twentieth century. In Russia, the development of this research area is inextricably linked with the name of Evgeny V. Talalayev, professor of Irkutsk State University and the founder of the biological forest protection approach. Though his enterprise, theoretical foundations for the use of the microbiomethod were developed, along with the first domestic bacterial preparation against the Siberian silkworm, dendrobacillin. Large-scale tests of the preparation were carried out to demonstrate its safety in terms of human health. With his direct participation, industrial production of biological products was organised in the USSR. These products were in great demand in both domestic and foreign markets. The article gives a brief history of the study of the entomopathogenic properties of Bacillus Thuringiensis and the development of biotechnological methods for pest management on its basis. A brief comparative analysis is provided for the current state of microbiomethods for the protection of plant species in Russia and abroad. The results of the first decades of large-scale application in agricultural production based on B. thuringiensis genetic engineering Bt-technologies, positioned as a more effective and economical alternative to the microbiome, are considered. The main reasons for the low efficiency of this area of plant genetic engineering as described in the scientific literature are presented. Additionally, the problem of discounting the development patterns of natural parasitic systems underlying the microbiomethod during the creation of transgenic BT plants is considered. An assessment for the value of the scientific heritage of E.V. Talalayev for the development of plant protection methods based on B. Thuringiensis is made along with the presentation of a number of new directions for the development of plant biotechnologies on their basis. Further prospects for the use of the microbiomethod plant protection approach in the Russian Federation are discussed.
