Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of GMO herbicide-tolerant crops include canola and soybean varieties or corn hybrids tolerant to glyphosate and glufosinate herbicides. Examples of non-GMO herbicide-tolerant crops include sulfonylurea-tolerant soybeans (STS) and Clearfield corn and wheat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most GMO corn is created to resist insect pests or tolerate herbicides. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn is a GMO corn that produces proteins that are toxic to certain insect pests but not to humans, pets, livestock, or other animals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most commercially planted genetically modified (GM) crops are either herbicide-resistant (HR) or insect-resistant (IR), many carrying both traits. Based on recent data and experience, there are concerns that HR crops promote the further intensification of farming and may therefore increase pressure on biodiversity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most GMO crops are used in food for animals like cows, chickens, and fish. They are also used to make ingredients that are then used in food products like cereal, snack chips, and vegetable oils.
