Detailed explanation-1: -Through the use of transgenics, one can produce plants with desired traits and even increased yields. The transgenics would allow for more crops that last longer and withstand pests and diseases. Transgenic plant production will allow us to feed the growing population and to produce more desirable products.

Detailed explanation-2: -Economic benefits occur because crop yields are saved from loss to insect pests and money is saved by not applying insecticides that would have been applied to susceptible varieties. In most cases, seed of insect-resistant cultivars costs no more, or little more, than for susceptible cultivars.

Detailed explanation-3: -Advantage of using insect-resistant varieties is that it reduces the use of insecticides. This will help maintaining the soil fertility for a longer period of time, as harmful chemicals present in insecticides will not be added to the soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Improvement in Yield. Improvement in Insect and Disease Resistance.
