In principle, such a thing looks possible: the technology to double or triple many crop yields exists in laboratories.
Disease-resistant varieties of plants offer an effective, safe, and relatively inexpensive method of control for many crop diseases.
A number of microelements, including boron, iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, copper, sulfur, and molybdenum, may cause noninfectious diseases of many crop and ornamental plants.
Fusarium species are worldwide pathogenic fungi of many crop plants.
Bats are voracious predators of nocturnal insects, including many crop and forest pests.
There's another problem: There just aren't that many crop breeders, especially for minor crops.
The homopteran insect pests sometimes cause serious damage to many crop plants.
Nighttime ultraviolet (UV) radiation, if applied properly, has a significant potential for management of powdery mildews in many crop species.
However, many crop rotations have a low amount of organic residue returned to the soil since the whole aboveground crop biomass is harvested and exported.
It is a broad host range pathogen that infects many crop plants, including wheat and barley, and causes head blight and rot diseases throughout the world [1].
There are about 109 tons of Chls biosynthesis per year, which closely associated with the growth, development, yield and quality of many crop plants (Moser et al. 2009).
