Abstract

Plant protection technologies are aiming to minimize damage caused by main plant pests such as insect pests, plant pathogens, and weeds. Apart from these biotic agents, various other abiotic factors namely, extreme soil pH, drought, salinity, and global climate change have negative impacts on plant growth and development. As a result of that, crop plants would be unable to reach their genetic potential. Therefore, expected yield and postharvest quality of agricultural commodities will be reduced. Damage is continued from preharvest to postharvest. Estimated crop loss in global agricultural production due to pest and disease infestation from field to fork is around 30-40%. Sustainable development goals (SDGs) work toward better future. That try to meet the needs of present generation without harming to fulfill the needs of future generation. A-line with SDGs, plant biotechnology plays a major role as a sustainable tool to fulfill the future food demand without disturbing the natural ecosystem. Biotechnological tools have greatly contributed to many areas in crop production systems. These tools are employed to speed up the multiplication process of vegetatively propagated crops through plant tissue culture. Development of novel technological applications will benefit the farming community through utilization of disease free planting materials, environmental friendly plant protection technologies, and good postharvest qualities in final harvest with higher economic potentials. The use of biotechnological approaches, such as biological and microbial biocontrol, protoplast fusion, marker-assisted selection, RNA interference, cisgenesis/intragenesis, and genome editing tools, like CRISPR/Cas9, has given tremendous support in plant stress management.
