This document discusses the role of biotechnology in improving the future of farmers in India. It notes that while farming currently provides livelihoods for 75% of Indians, farmers face challenges from unpredictable climate, pests, and disease that sometimes lead to suicide. Biotechnology can help address these issues in several ways. Bt cotton is genetically engineered to be pest-resistant. Biofertilizers use microorganisms to convert nutrients in the soil into usable forms for plants. Tissue culture techniques produce banana plants with higher yields that are resistant to pests and disease. Transgenic crops also offer benefits like increased yields, nutrition, environmental resistance, and pest resistance to support farmers.

3. Agriculture in India
 India is agricultural country. about 75%
people have Agri profession.
 Farmers produce so many crops in there
farm such as, cotton, sugarcane, soyabean,
sorgham etc.
 Large hector area is cultivated for farming to
fulfillment the needs of Indian people.

4. Contd......
 Farmers carried out process of farming with
honestly and with lots of effort.
“BUT’’
 The nature give no support to farmer. i.e.
change in climate, Drought, Heavy rain and
mainly attack of Insect, pest and Various
diseases on crop.
 Finally due to all of this problem Farmer
Attempt to
SUICIDE

6. Rise Of
Biotechnology

7. What is Biotechnology ?

8. Biotechnology is a use
of the living system and
organisms to develop or make
useful products, or “any
technological application that
uses biological system and
living organisms thereof, to
make or modifiy product or
process for specific use”

9. Contd......
 The wide concept of “Biotechnology”
encompasses a wide range of procedure
for modifying living organisms according
to human purpose, going back to
domestication of animals, cultivation of
plants, and improvement to these
through breeding programs and
hybridization.
 Modern usage also include genetic
engineering as well as cell and tissue
culture.
 For thousands of year, humankind has
used biotechnology in Agriculture, Food
production and medicine.

play an important
role on future of
Farmers ??

14. Biofertilizer
 Biofertilizer are the substsnce in which
micro-organism are used to fertile the
soil.

15. Contd….
 Biofertilizer are the product containing
living microbes which have ability to
mobilize nutritionally important
element from nonusable to usable form
through biological process.
 Biofertilizer is also called as microbial
inoculant

16. Types of Biofertilizer.
 Nitrogen fixing Biofertilizer:-
• Symbiotic
• Nonsymbiotic
 Phosphate metabolizing
Biofertilizer:-
e. g.:- Rhizobiun, Azolla, Aspergillus,
Penicillium, Azatobactor, BGA etc.

17. Scope of Biofertilizer
 Increasing crop yield by 30-40%
 Fix atmospheric Nitrogen free of costs.
 Replacing 15-20% phosphatic Requirnment.
 Activating the soil biologically and increase the
natural fertility of soil.
 They are environment friendly.

18. Tissue culture

19. Tissue culture Banana
 Tissue culture banana give
high yield about 20-30 tones/Acre as
compare to ordinary
crop.
 This banana crop is resist the attack
of insect pest and various diseases.

20. Transgenic Crop
 Transgenic crop or GM crop are plant
use in agriculture, the DNA of which has
been modified using genetic
engineering technique.
