Modern agriculture, based on the improved single-genotype crop varieties and the intensive and monocultural managements, has contributed tremendously to the world's food supply. However, it is also challenged by stagnant yield growth, increasingly high input, mounting environmental pollution and pressing...
Anna McClung leads a rice-breeding center for the United States Agriculture Department. She praises the researchers working on Green Super Rice. But she also says that combining many different genes into one plant without genetic engineering requires a lot of plant breeding.The research is still ...

(2022·广东中考)Rice, grown in what became known as the Green Revolution, helped many people to get rid of hunger. But modern rice plants require a lot of water and too much use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides (杀虫剂) that, an-ger the environmentalists. And farmers may be too ...
Green manure is a type of cover crop grown specifically to add nutrients back into the soil; manure is plowed together with the soil, positively increasing the soil's organic matter. Cover crops are also used in place of conventional pesticides to keep weeds at bay and as a distraction to ...

In agriculture, missions have also played a role, such as those underpinning productivity growth and modernisation in view of the Green Revolution (Spiertz and Kropff, 2011; Wright, 2012). However, these missions were often seen from an agricultural science system perspective rather than an AIS ...
