Question

Assume that U.S. agricultural land is used either to raise cotton for clothing or to grow wheat. Agricultural researchers develop a new wheat hybrid that is more resistant to drought and insects. What effect will this have on the production possibilities frontier for cotton and wheat?

Answer 1

In this case the wheat are gonna have a better production, the production of cotton are not gonna change.

Cotton is resistant to weather changes and and drought, it was originated in in hot climates. Wheat is considered moderately tolerant to soil salinity. For wheat grow, the weather should be warm and moist in the early stage of growth and sunny. So, this changes will help the wheat but will not change the production of cotton.
