Detailed explanation-1: -Biotechnology helps to identify the strains of bacteria most suitable for specific crops and soils and to multiply them for large-scale use. Much time will be required before genetic engineering is able to make available pest-resistant varieties of the most important crops.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biotechnological interventions can alter the gene expression level and pattern as well as the development of transgenic varieties with insecticidal genes and can improve pest management by providing access to novel molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Improved Crop Yield and Efficient Land Use. Economic Benefits to Farmers and Consumers. Reduced Environmental Impacts of Agriculture. Increased Tolerance to Crop Diseases. Nutrient Enhancement of Staple Crops. Production of Plant-Based Pharmaceuticals. 20-May-2022
