Question

GMOs may lead to the use of different herbicides or pesticides. True or False?

Answer 1

GMOs may lead to the use of different herbicides or pesticides is a true statement.

Explanation:

The GMO crops leads to growth of weeds that can resist herbicides other than for which the GMO is genetically-modified. The over-usage or over-reliance on herbicide-resistant GMO (Genetically modified organisms) crops had given way to the growth of such superweeds.

The main characteristic of these superweeds is resistance to the herbicides or the weedkillers leading to infestation of farmlands by these superweeds Hence farmers need to add different herbicides or pesticides to control the growth of superweeds.
