Dec 13, 2017 · The global yearly net income increased by 34.3% in 2010–2012. 13,14 Furthermore, while increasing global yield by 22%, GM crops reduced pesticide (active ingredient) usage by 37% and environmental impact (insecticide and herbicide use) by 18%. 15 To achieve the same yield standards more than 300 million acres of conventional crops would have ...

Jul 24, 2020 · In addition, the GM papaya and squash referred to above are resistant to important viruses (eg, ringspot in papaya), the GM apples are non-browning and the GM potatoes (planted in 2016) have low asparagine (low acrylamide which is a potential carcinogen) and reduced bruising.

- What Can Be Done to Protect Genetic Diversity?
The ability for different species to mate, also known as hybridization, has allowed for the vast diversity of wild plant types we see in the environment today. However, this process is not restricted to wild plants and can occur between any type of plant, including wild crops and GMOs, if they are reproductively compatible. When GM plants are in cl...
In addition to crossbreeding, GMOs can also affect genetic diversity through uncontrolled growth of a genetically engineered population. If advantageous genes are introduced into GMOs, it may allow them to become more fit than their wild relatives. This situation would be detrimental because the GMOs would grow faster and reproduce more often, allo...
Although there is little evidence that GMOs have impacted genetic diversity in today’s environment, scientists and ecologists are very aware of the potential influence that GMOs have on biodiversity. Therefore, researchers are investigating how to better prevent crossbreeding and spreading of GMOs, similar to the physical and biological containment...

A genetically modified potato is a potato that has had its genes modified, using genetic engineering. Goals of modification include introducing pest resistance , tweaking the amounts of certain chemicals produced by the plant, and to prevent browning or bruising of the tubers.
