Production of herbicide-resistant transgenic plants

Abstract:   (3657 Views)
Growth of weeds is one of the most important agricultural problems in the world, which has an adverse effect on the efficiency and quality of many important crops. Mechanical, agronomic, physical, biological, chemical (herbicides) and genetic control methods are used for combating weeds. Herbicides
are one of the most effective tools for farmers to fight against weeds. The use of these agricultural chemicals has increased significantly in recent years, especially in countries with advanced agricultural systems. The introduction or evolution of herbicide-resistant herbaceous populations is a serious issue for
specific herbicides that encourage the use of common herbicides. But the main problem with general herbicides is the inability to use them during field crop cultivation. Due to this dilemma, as well as the adverse effects of weeds on yield and quality of crops, projects aimed at the development of herbicideresistant transgenic plants are necessary. This reduces the consumption of pesticides in agriculture and reduces production costs through lower consumption of poison and the lack of employment of workers and weeding. The production of transgenic herbicide resistant plants is one of the priorities of agriculture and biotechnology in the world as well as in Iran to reduce their consumption of agricultural pesticides and production costs.
