Biotechnology is being used to address problems in all areas of agricultural production and processing. It is being used to develop low-cost disease-free planting materials and is creating new tools for the diagnosis and treatment of plant and animal diseases and for the measurement and conservation of genetic resources. Animal feeds and feeding practices are being changed by biotechnology to improve animal nutrition and to reduce environmental waste.
This book provides a detailed description of uses of biotechnology in crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry with a view to understanding the technologies themselves and the ways they complement and extend other approaches. The book will serve as an excellent reference material for teachers, research workers, industrialists, biotechnologists in the field of applied biology, agriculture science, plant breeding and microbiology.
