Stress-Resistant Crop Varieties
Stress-Resistant Crop Varieties
Stress-resistant crop varieties are a breakthrough in addressing the challenges posed by climate change and resource scarcity. These crops are bred to withstand biotic stresses like pests and diseases and abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures. Using traditional breeding methods and biotechnology, scientists develop seeds that maintain high yields under adverse conditions. Stress-tolerant varieties reduce dependency on chemical inputs, promoting eco-friendly farming. They play a crucial role in ensuring food security for vulnerable regions affected by erratic weather patterns. By adopting these resilient crops, farmers can mitigate losses, improve productivity, and contribute to sustainable agriculture.
