Modern Biotechnological Methods for Controlling Insect Pests

Modern biotechnology for insect pest control uses advanced scientific tools to manage pests in safer and more targeted ways. These methods include genetically modified crops that resist insects, biological control using beneficial microbes or natural enemies, RNA interference to silence pest genes, and sterile insect techniques to reduce pest populations. Compared to chemical pesticides, biotech approaches are more environmentally friendly, reduce harm to non-target organisms, and support sustainable agriculture by improving crop protection and productivity.
