Crop protection technologies have significantly increased agricultural productivity. Pesticides currently reduce potential crop losses from pathogens, viruses, pests and weeds by an average of 30-80%. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) provides a more sustainable approach by combining biological, cultural, physical and chemical methods based on monitoring and thresholds. Future crop protection relies more on IPM adoption, new selective pesticides, biological controls, resistant crops, and advanced tools like RNAi, robotics and drones for precision applications and surveillance. International collaboration is also needed on trade, regulations, and eradicating invasive species to ensure global food security.
Biosecurity refers to measures taken to manage biological risks like diseases that threaten agriculture, food, and the environment. It involves preventing the introduction and spread of pests and diseases among animals, plants, and ecosystems through regulatory frameworks and integrated approaches. Factors like increased globalization and trade, and new production technologies have increased biosecurity risks. There is thus a need for coordinated efforts by groups like FAO and regulatory bodies to minimize risks through strategies like quarantine, isolation, sanitation, and disinfection at the farm level and through policies at national and international levels.

This document compares indigenous technology and pesticides for agriculture. It notes that indigenous technology is ancient, eco-friendly, and balances the environment and livelihoods through diversified farming. Examples provided include using the Semecarpus anacardium plant or sesame oil cake coatings to ward off pests. Pesticides are more effective and rapid but also harm the environment, beneficial species, and natural pest enemies. While pesticides increase yields and food supply, indigenous technology is lower cost and protects ecological systems. Both have merits and demerits for agriculture depending on the situation.
Biotechnology has the potential to provide benefits like increased food production and life-saving medical treatments, but also raises safety, environmental, and ethical concerns. The document discusses the history and modern applications of biotechnology, including recombinant DNA techniques. It outlines both the promises of biotechnology in areas like agriculture, medicine, and the environment, as well as concerns about risks like developing antibiotic resistance or potential human abuse. Different countries have varying approaches and regulations regarding biotechnology.
Long distance natural (wind-assisted) dispersal of exotic plant pests and pathogens into Australia, is a very real and underestimated, biosecurity risk.
Agroecology provides sustainable solutions to pressures facing agriculture. It recognizes agriculture's multifunctional roles and facilitates progress toward equitable and sustainable development goals. Some key benefits of agroecological farming include increased resilience to climate change, improved health and nutrition, conservation of natural resources, economic stability, and social resilience. Studies show that agroecological methods can produce equal or greater yields than conventional methods, especially benefiting small farmers in developing countries. For example, the push-pull system used in Africa has tripled maize yields while reducing pesticide use and improving food security, income, and the environment.

Demand and Supply Situation for Medicinal PlantsAI Publications
From 2020 to 2015, it was predicted that the demand for medicinal plants in India will increase at an annual pace of between 17 and 23 percent to meet the needs of both domestic and international consumers. Small-scale farmers stand to gain financially and economically from a well-organized medicinal plant production and administration system. Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha are the three main Indian medical traditions, and together they are expected to bring in more than $500 million annually. In 2015, the gap between demand and supply of MAPs was predicted to be between 50,000 and 250,000 tons. In 2020, this hole was predicted to grow from 250,000 to 500,000 metric tons. Modified accelerated production (MAP) industries provide labor opportunities in economically depressed states, raising the standard of living and tax base of the area.

Agricultural biotechnology refers to genetic engineering and conventional breeding techniques used to modify plants, animals, and microbes for agricultural purposes. Genetic engineering allows for traits not achievable through conventional breeding. Key techniques include recombinant DNA, genome editing, and cloning. Most commercial applications provide production benefits like herbicide tolerance and pest resistance. While initially controversial, major scientific organizations have found genetically engineered foods to be as safe as non-genetically engineered foods.

10. Integrated pest management (IPM) is “a sustainable
approach to managing pests by combining biological,
cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that
minimizes economic, health, and environmental
risks” (Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008,
i.e. Farm Bill).
Integrated Pest Management
11. IPM focuses on pest prevention and uses
monitoring, recordkeeping, and economic
thresholds to make management
decisions.

12. However, there are limitations to using
thresholds for making management decisions.
Weed thresholds have limitations because
one plant can produce over 100,000 seeds.
Management decisions should be based on
yearly mapping and regular scouting
(Joseph LaForest, UGA, Bugwood.org).

18. Crops are managed increasingly through
rotation, improving tillage, optimizing
planting and harvesting dates, implementing
BMPs (fertilization, irrigation), minimizing
inputs, and conserving natural enemies.
19. Weed management includes robotics,
flaming, tillage, traps, barriers, mulches,
and plasticulture.

24. Crop Protection for the Future
• Employ crop advisors- IPM delivery, IPM plans (whole farm,
agroecology), complex education and training (DPM & DPH).
• Increase adoption of IPM by growers
• Improve the use of pesticides- application methods, baits, seed
treatments, site-specific smart technology (spot treatment),
incorporate pesticides in IPM.
• Develop new more selective pesticides- minimize non-target
effects, target site or mode of action.
• Preserve pesticides- resistance management, enforce label
requirements (no off-label use).
• Develop more biological control agents and biopesticides
• Produce new pest resistant plants- breed cultivars, grafting.
25. Crop Protection for the Future
• Create new genomic and molecular tools- RNAi, CRISPR-Cas9,
rapid sequencing.
• Advance mechanization- partial or total, guest farm workers.
• Increase international agricultural trade- foreign produce,
prevent introduction of alien invasive species.
• Improve pest surveillance (detection) and diagnostics-
attractants, traps, alert systems, apps.
• Expand pest monitoring- scouting, drones, mapping (ipmPIPE),
forecasting models.
• Institute areawide pest management and eradication
• Assure food safety- pathogens, pesticide residues.
• Provide food security- increase innovation and sustainable
production.
Makes monitoring for pests easier and faster resulting in more informed management decisions. Two images from the ipmPIPE illustrate the spread of soybean rust beginning on April 5, 2016 and the distribution of the pathogen by October 1, 2016.

USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)is announcing the successful eradication of the New World screwworm (NWS) from Florida.
“I want to personally thank our many collaborating partners at the Federal, State, and local levels,” said Dr. Jack Shere, USDA Chief Veterinarian. “Through their dedication and professionalism close to 154 million sterile flies have been released, 16,902 animals have been inspected at checkpoints, and almost 430 hours of active surveillance in the Keys and 250 hours of active surveillance on the mainland have been completed. Their tireless work has allowed us to eliminate New World screwworm from the United States once again.”
Animal health checkpoints, or interdiction stations, were closed on Saturday. The last sterile fly releases in Homestead, FL took place on Tuesday and fly releases are scheduled to end on April 25 in the Florida Keys.

In less than 10 seconds, an unwary scientist was stung over 250 times on one leg when he carelessly knelt on a collapsed fire ant mound. The sterile pustules developed to this stage in 3 days.
OX513A is a self-limiting strain of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Males, which do not bite or transmit disease, are released to mate with wild females. The offspring of such matings die before becoming adults. With repeated releases of sufficient numbers of these self-limiting males, there is a reduction in the wild population to below the level needed to transmit disease according to models of disease transmission.
Before release, male and female pupae are separated mechanically, exploiting the fact that naturally they are significantly different in size. The strain also contains a fluorescent marker, termed DsRed, which is a useful tool for quality control in production and effective monitoring in the field.
