MODERN AGRICULTURE: DEVELOPING NEW CROP VARIETIES THROUGH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES
Amidst increasing climate change impacts and growing demand for clean food, modern agriculture is undergoing a significant transformation driven by the integration of advanced technologies and biotechnology. One of the most remarkable breakthroughs is the development of new plant varieties through gene hybridization and high-tech breeding methods.
These new crop varieties are selectively bred or genetically modified to enhance resistance to pests, tolerance to extreme weather conditions, and to increase productivity and crop quality. This helps reduce farming costs, shorten growth and harvesting times, and promotes environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
HIGH-TECH APPLICATIONS IN MODERN AGRICULTURE
VGCT collaborates with both domestic and international partners to research, develop, and transfer cutting-edge agricultural technologies, including CRISPR gene-editing techniques. CRISPR allows precise and targeted modification of specific plant traits to produce crop varieties suited to the soil and climate conditions of specific regions.
In addition, various advanced technologies are also integrated into modern agriculture, such as environmental sensors, plant growth stimulation systems, smart irrigation systems, fertilization and irrigation via drones, big data platforms, AI, and IoT technologies. These innovations are embedded into the cultivation, monitoring, and analysis processes, enabling real-time optimization of plant development making agriculture more efficient, sustainable, and technology-driven.
KEY TECHNOLOGIES ALREADY APPLIED IN MODERN AGRICULTURE
- Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) Technology for crop development
- Gene Editing Technology (Non-GMO) for precise crop trait improvement
- Genetic Hybridization Technology
- AI and IoT technologies are applied to monitor crop development, enable environmental sensing, detect pests and diseases, assess nutrient conditions, optimize water and input usage, and manage supply chains with full traceability
