Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Plant Biotechnology has been instrumental in augmenting crop productivity to improve food, feed, and fiber security, and in reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
