Genetic Engineering for Crop Protection

The advent of genetic engineering in the agro industry has heralded an era of positive growth in the crop portection sector as the industry becomes increasingly conscious of the benefits of genetic engineering, political considerations, and influences that are expected to drive growth. Genetically engineering inherent crop resistance to insect pests and pathogens offers the potential of a user-friendly, environment-friendly and consumer-friendly method of crop protection to meet the demands of sustainable agriculture in the 21st century.
