What is Biotechnology Applications in Agriculture about?
Biotechnology can be applied to agriculture to genetically modify plants and improve crops. One example is Bt cotton, which produces an insecticide to target harmful cotton pests. The Bt gene is inserted into cotton plants using Agrobacterium, allowing the plants to naturally produce the Cry toxin that kills insects when they feed. This has led to benefits for farmers like increased yields and reduced need for pesticides, though issues like rising costs and resistance over time remain challenges.
