In agriculture, recombinant DNA technology enhances crop yields, nutritional content, and pest resistance, leading to reduced pesticide use and environmental benefits.
Recombinant DNA technology in agriculture can improve crop yields, enhance nutritional value (reducing deficiency), and confer pest resistance, thereby reducing pesticide use and environmental impact.
| Front | Recombinant DNA technology and agriculture |
|---|---|
| Back | Crops can be transformed to give higher yields or are more nutritious, these plants can be used to reduce the risk of famine or malnutrition. Crops can be transformed to have pest resistance therefore fewer pesticides are required which reduces cost and impact on environment. |
