What is the Future of Pesticides in Biotechnology?
The future of pesticides in biotechnology looks promising, with ongoing research and development focused on: - CRISPR and Gene Editing: Advanced gene-editing tools like CRISPR hold the potential to create more precise and effective pest-resistant crops. - Biopesticides: Development of microbial and other natural biopesticides that offer environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic chemicals. - Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Combining biotechnological pesticides with other pest control methods to create more holistic and sustainable agricultural practices.
