文摘Modern agriculture is faced with the challenge of feeding a rapidly growing population. While crop yields have risen dramatically since the beginning of the twentieth century, increasing demand for food threatens to outstrip the pace of agricultural progress. While significant research continues to focus on strategies that directly maximize crop yield, another important research area is the mini- mization of yield loss to weeds, insectS, diseases, and abiotic stresses.
