Abstract

In agriculture, biotechnology has become a potent instrument that has transformed how food is produced and increased crop yields. This abstract investigates the numerous uses of biotechnology in agriculture, emphasising its substantial contributions to crop development, pest and disease management and sustainable farming practises. Biotechnology uses in agriculture have revolutionised traditional agricultural practises and have enormous potential for future improvement. Biotechnology has aided in the production of genetically modified crops with better features by leveraging the power of genetic engineering. This has allowed for higher productivity, less pesticide use, and improved resistance to environmental challenges. Furthermore, biotechnology instruments promote precision agriculture and the protection of plant genetic resources, which helps to promote sustainable agricultural practises. As biotechnology advances, it has the potential to play an important role in addressing global food security concerns and encouraging ecologically friendly agricultural practises.
