"Full yield potential of any crop cannot be harnessed completely due to several\r\nchallenges such as biotic and abiotic, faced by the crops at various growth stages.\r\nBiotic stresses caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, pathogen, parasites, pests and\r\nweeds pose major threat to sustainable productivity by reducing yield from 30% in\r\ngeneral to complete yield loss in some severe epidemic cases. Crop protection\r\nmeasures for safe-guarding crops such as use of synthetic pesticides, weedicides, etc.\r\nhave largely beenlielpFul in curtailing the losses, however, their haphazard use have\r\ncaused adverse environmental and health hazards. Genetic alternatives such as\r\nintrogression/pyramiding of genes/auantitative trait loci associated with resistance\r\nto target pest and diseases, on the otner hand, is much ecological and eco-friendly\r\napproach. Although, there are several biotic stress agents for any crop, however, only\r\na few pests or diseases cause major yield loss. It is beyond the scope of this review to\r\ncover all the pests and diseases affecting all the crops, thereby, focus has been given\r\non major pests and diseases of representative crops such as rice (cereal), chickpea\r\n(legume) and tomato (vegetable). Special emphasis has been given on the current\r\nstatus and future prospects of deploying modern breeding approaches for developing\r\nimproved cultivars with high resilience to major biotic stresses in order to achieve\r\nmaximum genetic yield potential in all the crops."^^ .
