Question
Give scientific reason.
Herbicide tolerant crop plants are beneficial for agriculture.
Solution
- Unwanted weeds adversely affect the growth of crop plants.
- Excessive use of herbicides to eliminate weeds may also harm the crop plants.
- For better agricultural outputs, selective destruction of only weeds is essential.
- Hence, in order to target only unwanted weeds and protect the crops from the ill-effects of herbicides, herbicide tolerant crop plants are beneficial in agriculture.
