What is biotechnology
as a set of tools that uses living organisms (or partsof organisms) to make or modify a product improve plants trees or animals or develop microorganisms for specific uses Agricultural biotechnology is the term used in crop and livestock improvement through biotechnology tools Biotechnology encompasses a number of tools and elements of conventional breeding techniques bioinformatics microbiology molecular genetics biochemistry plant physiology and molecular biology
Biotechnology A collection of technologies
The biotechnology tools that are important for agricultural biotechnologyinclude Conventional plant breeding - Tissue culture and micropropagation - Molecular breeding or marker assisted
selection - Genetic engineering and GM crops - Molecular Diagnostic Tools
Integration of conventional and modern biotechnologymethods in crop breeding
The Applications of The Applications of BiotechnologyBiotechnology

22Applications of Biotechnology
The term biofertilizer refers to preparation containing live microbes which helps in enhancing the soil fertility either by fixing atmospheric nitrogen solubilization of phosphorus or decomposing organic wastes or by augmenting plant growth by producing growth hormones with their biological activities

Advantages of Biofertilizers
Renewable source of nutrients
Sustain soil health
Supplement chemical fertilizers
Replace 25-30 chemical fertilizers
Increase the grain yields by 10-40
Decompose plant residues and stabilize CN ratio of soil
Improve texture structure and water holding capacity of soil
No adverse effect on plant growth and soil fertility
Stimulates plant growth by secreting growth hormones
Secrete fungistatic and antibiotic like substances
Solubilize and mobilize nutrients
Eco-friendly non-pollutants and cost effective method

the Important Role of Organic Matter in Soils1048698 Physical- Improves aggregation (glue)- Improves water holding capacity (surface area)1048698 Chemical- Increases nutrient availability (cycling P andmicronutrient solubility- Increases CEC (200 cmolc kg-1)- Buffers the soil against pH changes1048698 Biological- Increases microbial diversity- Assists in pathogen suppression
Justification for establishing agricultural biotechnology network
The network will enable scientists of member countries to get acquainted with experiences gained and progress achieved
The network will enable scientists to learn more about recent advances in technologies
Less developed countries will capitalize on more advance member countries in training
Justification for establishing agricultural biotechnology network
The network will allow less advanced countries get acquainted with these achievements and adopt them
The network will help less advanced countries learn more on how biotechnology research has been integrated in development
How decision makers came to support this type of research
Lessons learnt can be made available via the network in the annual meetings or through the periodical publications
Recommendations
bullDevelop an annual report for each joint research presented in each country in the field of agricultural and biological
technologies by way which is accessible compares them and identifies common similarities and differences
bullConduct joint research on some of the common crops grown between the participating countries to enable work out
through the study of environmental and genetic conditions that affect the quality and productivity of these crops
bullDevelopment of a shared location (web site) for the dissemination of research and the latest developments

22Applications of Biotechnology
The term biofertilizer refers to preparation containing live microbes which helps in enhancing the soil fertility either by fixing atmospheric nitrogen solubilization of phosphorus or decomposing organic wastes or by augmenting plant growth by producing growth hormones with their biological activities

Advantages of Biofertilizers
Renewable source of nutrients
Sustain soil health
Supplement chemical fertilizers
Replace 25-30 chemical fertilizers
Increase the grain yields by 10-40
Decompose plant residues and stabilize CN ratio of soil
Improve texture structure and water holding capacity of soil
No adverse effect on plant growth and soil fertility
Stimulates plant growth by secreting growth hormones
Secrete fungistatic and antibiotic like substances
Solubilize and mobilize nutrients
Eco-friendly non-pollutants and cost effective method

Justification for establishing agricultural biotechnology network
The network will enable scientists of member countries to get acquainted with experiences gained and progress achieved
The network will enable scientists to learn more about recent advances in technologies
Less developed countries will capitalize on more advance member countries in training
Justification for establishing agricultural biotechnology network
The network will allow less advanced countries get acquainted with these achievements and adopt them
The network will help less advanced countries learn more on how biotechnology research has been integrated in development
How decision makers came to support this type of research
Lessons learnt can be made available via the network in the annual meetings or through the periodical publications
