agrotechnology (s) (noun), agrotechnologies (pl)
The utilisation of current technology in agriculture: Agrotechnology is innovative and designed to render agricultural production more efficient and profitable.

In other words, agrotechnology is the use of technological devices and principles in agriculture to improve crop production.

atechnic
Not having technical knowledge.
atechny
Ignorance of art, unskilfulness.
biotechnics
The practical application of discoveries in the biological sciences.
biotechnology, biotech
1. The branch of technology concerned with the development and exploitation of machines in relation to the various needs of human beings.
2. The branch of technology concerned with modern forms of industrial production utilizing living organisms, especially micro-organisms, and their biological processes; including such ancient endeavors as the use of yeast in preparing bread for baking, and such modern concepts as genetic engineering.
3. The application of technology to biological processes for industrial, agricultural, and medical purposes.

Examples include bacteria; such as, Penicillium and Streptomycin are used to produce antibiotics and fermenting yeasts produce alcohol in beer and wine manufacture.

Genetic engineering now enables the large-scale production of hormones, blood serum proteins, and other medically important products.

Genetic modification of farm crops offers improved protection against pests, or products with novel characteristics; such as, new flavors, colors, or extended storage properties.
