GMO Facts – Pros and Cons

Increased Amount of Weeds

Some GM plants might work as mediators to transfer the modified genes to wild weeds in the area. This process is also known as outcrossing. As a result, weeds would acquire some resistant capabilities against insects, bugs, or herbicides and spread much quicker. Usual methods used by most farmers won’t be effective enough to get rid of these new species. When the weeds grow and spread, they would steal all of the necessary nutrients and water in the soil, thus affecting the outputs of your crops. [12]
