Question

Farmers only use herbicides on transgenic crops.

  1. True
  2. False

hintHint:

Farmers only use herbicides on transgenic crops.

The correct answer is 'True'.


    • When growing GMO crops, farmers can use fewer pesticides in their spraying. This helps farmers save money and use fewer chemicals on their crops.
    • The requirement to till the soil to control weeds is reduced when farmers plant herbicide-tolerant crops.
    • Planting with no-till techniques helps to enhance soil quality, lessen soil erosion, use less fuel and labor, and emit less carbon dioxide into the sky.
    • Increasing the security of farmers' livelihoods while producing a sustainable, secure food supply is possible by helping them grow virus-resistant crops.
