Advances in biotechnology applications to develop new crop cultivars with improved yield, drought tolerance, and pest resistance are also given in this article. This review also discusses examples of both national private and public sector in promoting new crop cultivars ensuing from applications of genetic research.Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics2000International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics Article
