- GM crops with resistance to insect pests, pathogens and chemical weedicides can also be developed. This enables the farmers to reduce the use of harmful pesticides.
- There is an improvement in the nutritive value of crops and a decrease in crop losses due to the use of genetically modified or hybrid seeds.
