GMO Facts – Pros and Cons

Save Crop Expenses

GMO crops have been proved to be more cost-effective than traditional methods. In fact, these biological technologies are created to deal with 3 main factors that prevent a yield crop: weather, weeds, and insects. GM seeds or plants can resist infects, which leads to more outputs and lower consumption of insecticides. Similarly, they exhibit disease resistance, drought tolerance, as well as herbicide tolerance. All of these features would make crops more bountiful and efficient. Weed control can be much simpler for farmers, while there will also be less soil erosion and tillage. [4]
