Genetically modified crops are beneficial to farmers.
उत्तर
- Genetically Modified crops (GM crops) are developed by altering the DNA of natural crops.
- These new varieties possess useful characters that can withstand adverse environmental stresses like frequently changing temperature, famines, changing climate, etc.
- 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.
Hence, genetically modified crops are beneficial to farmers.
