GMOs and crop yields

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can enhance crop yields by producing toxins that are harmful to specific pests, enhancing herbicide tolerance, and enhancing disease resistance. These traits can reduce crop damage and losses caused by insect infestations. GMO crops can also tolerate specific herbicides, allowing farmers to manage weeds more efficiently. They can also resist diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi, resulting in higher yields and reduced losses. They can also tolerate environmental stresses like drought, heat, or salinity, maintaining productivity even under challenging conditions. GMOs can also improve nutritional content, addressing malnutrition and improving overall health, leading to better yields and productivity.
