Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Biotechnology contributes to sustainable agriculture by reducing the dependence on agro-chemicals, particularly pesticides, through the deployment of genes conferring tolerance or resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.
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.
