The following points highlight the four main stages in development of agriculture in different regions. The stages are: 1. Forest Fallow 2. Short Fallow 3. Annual Cultivation 4. Multiple Cropping. Stage # 1. Forest Fallow: Cutting and burning parts of a forest release nutrients contained in the plants; this fertilizes the land, allowing it to […]
Pest Resistance Management and Biotechnology Resistance Management of Crops

In this article we will discuss about pest resistance management and Bt-resistance management of crops. Pest Resistance Management: Crop breeders have long known that some conventionally bred cultivars with resistance to insect and microbial pests may perform wonderfully for the first few years after they are deployed commercially, but then fail miserably in controlling the […]
