Food crops in India suffer from many newly emerging and invading biotic stresses, i.e. insect pests/ diseases/weeds. For sustainable food production, it will be worthwhile to switch into novel mitigation measures rather than protecting the crops by traditional methods of pest management which are now outdated and incompetent. Emphasis must be laid on the identification of novel mitigation measures based upon molecular markers, transgenes, gene-editing technologies, nanotechnology, etc.

Abstract


Food crops in India suffer from many newly emerging and invading biotic stresses, i.e. insect pests/ diseases/weeds. For sustainable food production, it will be worthwhile to switch into novel mitigation measures rather than protecting the crops by traditional methods of pest management which are now outdated and incompetent. Emphasis must be laid on the identification of novel mitigation measures based upon molecular markers, transgenes, gene-editing technologies, nanotechnology, etc.
