Biotechnology has led to the development of genetically modified crops with enhanced traits, such as resistance to pests and tolerance to environmental stress, resulting in higher productivity.
1
Advanced technologies enable farmers to manage crops more precisely, optimizing resource use and reducing waste through techniques like remote sensing, data analytics, and precision farming.
2
Crop Protection
Biotechnology offers alternatives to chemical pesticides, including biopesticides and crops engineered for disease resistance, reducing reliance on traditional chemical interventions.
3
Marker-assisted breeding and gene editing tools accelerate traditional breeding programs, allowing for the development of new crop varieties with desirable traits.
4
Biotechnological approaches have been used to biofortify crops, increasing their nutritional value by adding essential vitamins and minerals.
