For example, biological control agents may delay the evolution of pest resistance to GM crops, and suppress outbreaks of secondary pests not targeted by GM plants, while herbicide-tolerant crops facilitate within-field management of vegetational diversity that can enhance the efficacy of biological control agents.
While HR cropping facilitates weed control for farmers and makes chemical weed management more flexible, it is accompanied by increased herbicide use and less crop rotation.
The development community should give priority to financing major investments in further developing "save and grow" and other climate-smart technologies for a wide range of crops, and facilitate their local adaptation through partnerships with local communities and producer organisations.
The elaborate analysis of transgenic crops will facilitate the safety assessment and commercialization of transgenics and lead to global food security for the future.
Hedgerow systems, that have been established in various crops to facilitate mechanical harvesting to reduce costs and more rapid management, are a recent innovation in olive production.
These expression data together with information of cis-motif analyses, GO annotations and sequence similarities inferred from comparative analyses of the tree crops can facilitate the systematic functional predictions of identified TFs.
Extensive studies in a multitude of additional crop species, facilitated by rapid progress in sequencing and resequencing(s) of crop genomes, will further our understanding of the genomic impact from both the unusual population history of cultivated plants and millennia of human selection.
The results show that pollination services can limit fruit set of wild plants in arable farmland, but there is some evidence that the presence of a flowering crop can facilitate their pollination (depending on species and season).
Understanding the genetic basis of environmental adaptation in this crop may facilitate breeding for increased climate-resilience [ 60].
Shorter crop rotations facilitate oospore-driven epidemics, thus stimulating a more or less local P. infestans population in the NE region of the Netherlands.
