Pesticide creation is related to sustainable agricultural development and ecological safety, and molecular docking technology can effectively help pesticide innovation. This paper introduces the basic theory of molecular docking, pesticide databases, and docking software. It also summarizes the applications of molecular docking in the field of pesticides, including virtual screening of lead compounds, detection of pesticides and their metabolites in the environment, reverse screening of pesticide targets, and the study of resistance mechanisms. Finally, the problems of molecular docking technology in the process of pesticide creation are discussed, and the prospects of molecular docking technology in the future application of new pesticide development are foreseen.
