OAR@ICRISATPotential for improving agricultural production through biotechnology in the semi-arid tropicsROrtizauthorP JBramel-CoxauthorC THashauthorNMallikarjunaauthorD V RReddyauthorNSeetharamaauthorH CSharmaauthorK KSharmaauthorSSivaramakrishnanauthorR PThakurauthorM DWinslowauthorGains in crop productivity through research advances in genetic enhancement will help to achieve sustainable food security, poverty alleviation, and environmental protection in the semi-arid tropics. Hence, ICRISAT has a commitment to transfer the benefits of plant biotechnology to the developing world, as genes, both relevant to crop improvement and environmentally safe, become available. Furthermore, the application of the tools of biotechnology offers a new means to achieve ICRISAT's mission, i.e., applying science to improve agriculture in areas of the world where rainfall and biotic stresses are the major constraints for increasing and stabilising crop productivity.Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics2000International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics Monograph
