Abstract
This review surveys the most important and promising contributions of agric ultural biotechnology to the development of sustainable, environment-friend ly agriculture. It deals with the recent achievements of genetic technology for the development of new transgenic microbial, plant and animal products . It also deals with the newest developments and perspectives of microbial intervention in agricultural practices, such as biofertilizers, biocontrol agents, and various microbiological products used in modern agriculture. Th e review surveys the outlook for a waste-free, environment-friendly sustain able agricultural practice, including waste management, recycling and biore mediation technologies. The review lists the most important marketable agro biotechnological products, and their present and projected sales volume. (C ) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
