Detailed explanation-1: -Farmers use insecticides and fertilizers on their fruit and vegetable crops. Which best describes the effect of these chemicals? The crops require less water and nutrients to grow.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which would be reduced as a result of the development of pest-resistant crops? use of chemical insecticides.
Detailed explanation-3: -How has genetic modification most likely affected the safety and availability of fruits and vegetables? It has increased the safety and availability of fruits and vegetables.
Detailed explanation-4: -Biotech crops can make farming more profitable by increasing crop quality and may in some cases increase yields. The use of some of these crops can simplify work and improve safety for farmers. This allows farmers to spend less of their time managing their crops and more time on other profitable activities.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
