| Front | Concerns with use of Recombinant DNA technology in agriculture |
|---|---|
| Back | Farmers may plant only one type of plant (monoculture) which makes the whole crop vulnerable to disease as they are genetically identical. Monocultures reduce biodiversity Weeds that are resistant to herbicides, if a transformed crop interbreeds with wild plants there could be an uncontrollable spread of recombinant DNA Organic farmed could have crops contaminated by wind-blown seeds from nearby genetically modified crops |
