Detailed explanation-1: -The Genetic Engineering of Plants. Perhaps the most direct way to use biotechnology to improve crop agriculture is to genetically engineer plants-that is, alter their basic genetic structure-so they have new characteristics that improve the efficiency of crop production.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biotechnology, as applied to agriculture, reduces insecticide use, protects biodiversity, reduces erosion, increases tolerance to droughts and floods, and improves nutrition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Agricultural biotechnology is becoming the major sector in crop improvement through the use of scientific techniques for the modification of genes conferring resistance to biotic, abiotic stress and improving the quality of crops.
