Agriculture in India India is agricultural country. about 75%
people have Agri profession.
Farmers produce so many crops in there
farm such as, cotton, sugarcane, soyabean,
sorgham etc.
Large hector area is cultivated for farming to
fulfillment the needs of Indian people.
Contd......
Farmers carried out process of farming with honestly and with lots of effort.
“BUT’’
The nature give no support to farmer. i.e. change in climate, Drought, Heavy rain and mainly attack of Insect, pest and Various diseases on crop.
Finally due to all of this problem Farmer

Rise Of
Biotechnology
What is Biotechnology ?
Biotechnology is a use
of the living system and
organisms to develop or make
useful products, or “any
technological application that
uses biological system and
living organisms thereof, to
make or modifiy product or
process for specific use”
Contd......
The wide concept of “Biotechnology” encompasses a wide range of procedure for modifying living organisms according to human purpose, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of plants, and improvement to these through breeding programs and hybridization.
Modern usage also include genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture.
For thousands of year, humankind has used biotechnology in Agriculture, Food production and medicine.

play an important
role on future of

Biofertilizer
Biofertilizer are the substsnce in which
micro-organism are used to fertile the
soil.
Contd….
Biofertilizer are the product containing
living microbes which have ability to
mobilize nutritionally important
element from nonusable to usable form
through biological process.
Biofertilizer is also called as microbial
inoculant
Types of Biofertilizer.
Nitrogen fixing Biofertilizer:-• Symbiotic
• Nonsymbiotic
Phosphate metabolizing
Biofertilizer:-
e. g.:- Rhizobiun, Azolla, Aspergillus,
Penicillium, Azatobactor, BGA etc.
Scope of Biofertilizer
Increasing crop yield by 30-40%
Fix atmospheric Nitrogen free of costs.
Replacing 15-20% phosphatic Requirnment.
Activating the soil biologically and increase the natural fertility of soil.
They are environment friendly.
Tissue culture
Tissue culture Banana
Tissue culture banana give
high yield about 20-30 tones/Acre as
compare to ordinary
crop.
This banana crop is resist the attack
of insect pest and various diseases.
Transgenic Crop
Transgenic crop or GM crop are plant
use in agriculture, the DNA of which has
been modified using genetic
engineering technique.
