Jul 27, 2020 · Overall, however, farmers reduced pesticide spraying by 776 million kilograms, or 8.6 percent, between 1996-2018 by adopting GM crops with insect-resistant (IR) and herbicide-tolerant (HT) traits. This is equal to more than 1.6 times China’s total crop protection product use each year. As a result, farmers who grow GM crops have reduced the ...
1 day ago · genetically modified organism (GMO), organism whose genome has been engineered in the laboratory in order to favour the expression of desired physiological traits or the generation of desired biological products. In conventional livestock production, crop farming, and even pet breeding, it has long been the practice to breed select individuals ...
Jul 7, 2021 · Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms that have been modified in a laboratory in order to produce a specific result. For example, many types of food sources, especially corn and soybean crops, are genetically modified in order to withstand herbicides and insects. This method stems from the concept of selective breeding and dates ...
Aug 5, 2015 · Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini is a biologist at the University of Caen. He was the first scientist to do a long- term, GMO, chronic toxicity study.
