Utilizing biotechnology in hi-tech agriculture is an effective tool for selecting crops and achieving sustainable agricultural production in the face of imminent climate change. Effective management of soil fertility is crucial for maintaining sustainable vegetable production. Microbial inoculation through endophytic bacteria is a sustainable agricultural practice that can improve plant health and yield. Seed enhancement technologies can ensure the establishment of healthy plant stands. The use of technology in the nursery raising of vegetable crops is essential for their successful cultivation. Pest and disease management in mango cultivation is a critical aspect of agriculture that requires careful attention. Integrating horti-silvi-pastoral systems into the development of watersheds can promote sustainable land use practices. The use of biofertilizers and green manuring is a sustainable approach to agriculture that can improve soil fertility and crop yields. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria are beneficial microorganisms that can enhance plant growth and promote sustainable agriculture. The potential of biocontrol, soil solarization, and botanicals in plant disease management under organic farming should be explored further. The management of mites is crucial in maintaining crop health and yield. Sustainable management of agrobiodiversity is necessary for the preservation of genetic resources and the maintenance of ecosystem services. Medicinal and aromatic plants play a vital role in traditional medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. The development of post-harvest management technologies for underutilized fruits of arid zones can improve food security and promote economic development. Biotechnological tools have revolutionized modern agriculture and can improve crop yields and reduce the use of chemical inputs. Seabuckthorn is a therapeutic plant of the Himalayas that has numerous medicinal properties. The implications of development communication in the functioning of KVKS are essential for sustainable development. The proper care of laboratory animals and their use as research animal models is crucial for scientific research and advancement. Organic livestock production practices can improve animal health and promote sustainable agriculture. The role of self-help groups in poverty elimination through microfinance is significant, as they provide access to credit and other resources for the rural poor. Self-help groups are an effective approach to strengthening the rural poor and promoting sustainable development.
