The future of crop protection is expected to be shaped by the convergence of advanced biotechnology, artificial intelligence, precision agriculture, and microbiome science. Among the most transformative is CRISPR-Cas gene-editing technology, innovations which offers unprecedented precision in modifying genes associated with pest resistance, disease tolerance, and beneficial microbial interactions (Wang introduction, CRISPR has et al., 2022). Since significantly accelerated plant improvement efforts by enabling targeted genetic modifications without introducing extensive foreign DNA. Researchers are already exploring gene-edited microbial biopesticides capable antimicrobial compounds, improved environmental persistence, and greater effectiveness against resistant pathogens (Halder et al., 2022). producing enhanced its of Table 4: Current Limitations and Proposed Technological Solutions.
