Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -With improved weed control, plants are healthier and do not have to compete for nutrients in the soil. Healthier plants result in improved yield. Environmental Benefits: Thanks to biotechnology, farmers have adopted no-and reduced-tillage systems which utilize herbicidal weed control rather than plowing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biotechnology is a branch of biology in which technology is applied in biological systems to create useful products for human welfare. It is used in managing agriculture in the following ways: Genetically Modified (GM) crops are now produced by incorporating beneficial genes in the DNA of the crops.
