Abstract: The research on the meteorological prediction of crop disease and insect pest development was summarized in two aspects,e.g.meteorological conditions causing the crop disease and insect pest and methods of meteorological prediction.The recent developments of researches in meteorological conditions causing disease and insect pest were summed up by studying relations between the development of disease and insect pest and meteorological factors on the large-,medium-and small-scale meteorological backgrounds.The progresses on meteorological prediction were summed up in mathematical statistics,fuzzy mathematics,grey system,artificial neural network and 3S technique.The problems and difficulties existed in these methods were discussed.The further research needed was prospected as well.

Key words: Crop, Crop, Diseases and insect pests, Meteorological prediction, Review
