Question
List any four ways by which GMO's have been useful for enhanced crop output.

Answer

The four ways by which GMO's have been useful for enhanced crop output are:
  1. Genetically modified crops are more tolerant to abiotic stress, which can be in the form of cold, drought, heat or salt.
  2. Crops that are made pest-resistant through genetic modification have reduced dependence on chemical pesticides.
  3. Genetic modification of crops has reduced post-harvest losses.
  4. Genetic modification has helped in increasing efficiency of mineral usage by plants. It has helped in maintaining the fertility of the soil for a longer duration.
