Biocatalysis in Agricultural Biotechnology represents a cutting-edge field that harnesses the power of biological catalysts to enhance agricultural processes. Enzymes, the key players in biocatalysis, are employed to facilitate various reactions, improving the efficiency of agricultural practices. This interdisciplinary approach contributes to sustainable agriculture by optimizing resource utilization, minimizing environmental impact, and increasing crop yields. In this dynamic field, biocatalysis finds applications in diverse areas, including crop protection, soil fertility management, and the production of bio-based fertilizers and pesticides. By leveraging the specificity and selectivity of enzymes, researchers aim to develop eco-friendly solutions that address challenges in modern agriculture. The integration of biocatalytic processes holds great promise for fostering sustainable agricultural practices, promoting environmental stewardship, and ensuring food security for future generations.
