Role of Biotechnology in Agriculture: Biotechnology plays a crucial role in modern agriculture by providing new tools and techniques for improving crop yields and quality, controlling pests and diseases, and conserving natural resources.

Role of Biotechnology in Agriculture

• Genetic engineering: The modification of crops through genetic engineering can produce plants with improved traits, such as increased resistance to pests and diseases, enhanced nutritional content, and tolerance to environmental stress.

• Biopesticides: Biotechnology can be used to develop alternative methods for controlling pests and diseases, such as the use of beneficial insects and microorganisms that are harmful to crop pests.
• Microbial fertilizers: Biotechnology can be used to develop microorganisms that help improve soil fertility and enhance crop growth.
• Plant tissue culture: Biotechnology can be used to produce high-quality plant tissue cultures, which can be used to propagate crops quickly and easily.

• Precision agriculture: Biotechnology can be used to develop tools and techniques for precise monitoring and management of crops, such as remote sensing and precision mapping.
