GM crops having disease resistant genes hence they are resistant to disease and pests so they not need more use of pesticide.

How can spending time in sunlight affect the economy?

One main way that the economy would benefit, is that if less time was spent in the sun by people, then less people would be getting skin cancer. This would mean that the levels of skin cancer would drop and the hospitals would need less amounts of treatment chemicals. This obviously means that the government's money would go up and more development could be done in the country with the extra money. It could even mean that there was more money spent on developing cures to other diseases, such as breast cancer. Maybe, with these new cures in place taxes would go down, who knows. Another thing, is that if chemicals were being imported, then there would be less damage to the environment as we wouldn't need to import it anymore and then again, more money for the government to sort out this stupid credit crunch!!


Why do yeast cells need less mitochondria in a no oxygen environment?

Because this is America.


Relationship between position of fulcrum and effort required to lift load?

A relationship between two of it are when load come closer to fulcrum, you need more effort to use. But if load go far away from the fulcrum, you need less effort to use.

Which would be reduced as a result of the development of pest-resistant crops?

The need for synthetic pesticides would be reduced because the crops themselves would be able to resist pests without the use of chemical interventions. This would lead to lower levels of pesticide residues in the environment and in food.


What is it called if it was late the crops would dry out?

If the rain was late, the crops would dry out and die. Of course, the crops could survive if watered them yourself.


How many times does a farmer spray pesticides?

As often as the crops need it. Any good farmer will not spray a crop until it needs it for some reason, mainly due to the expense. Some crops such as wheat may need only one or two sprays during the entire growing season. Fruit crops, however, may need sprayed with something or another once or twice a week.


How do farmers grow GM food?

GMO foods are grown very much like non-GMO that are not being grown organically. The big difference is that some of the crops have been engineered to have resistance to herbicides like Round-up. For those crops, the herbicide can be sprayed directly on the crop without killing it; whereas, it cannot be sprayed directly on the non-GMO crops. Other crops have been genetically engineered to produce a substance that kills insects when they eat the plant. In that case, those growing GMO crops theoretically would not need to use pesticides, or at least not as many pesticides, as those who grow non-GMO crops.


Do we need pesticides?

Yes, I believe we do need pesticides. A pesticide is a substance used for destroying insects or other organisms which are harmful to plants and animals. Without pesticides some foods will not be able to grow and most countries would then, as a result, starve to death. If the pesticides were not there to use with animals, I am sure some species of animal would face extinction. I guess pesticides help prevent poverty, in a way. Without it, I am sure that we would soon suffer the consequences.


How is the use of biotechnology In agriculture benefits to the environment?

Biotechnology in agriculture can help reduce the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers by creating crops that are naturally more resistant to pests and diseases. This can help prevent pollution of soil and water sources. Additionally, biotechnology can also lead to the development of crops that require less water, helping to conserve this scarce resource.


What are some biological alternatives to chemical pesticides?

Some biological alternatives to chemical pesticides include introducing natural predators or parasites to control pest populations, using insecticidal soaps or oils derived from plants, and planting trap crops to attract pests away from main crops. Crop rotation and intercropping with pest-repellent plants can also help reduce the need for chemical pesticides.

Should chemical pesticides be banned?

Chemical pesticides harm the ecosystem, the environment, and could be harmful to humans; however, without them, we would not be able to produce enough food for the current population. The best alternative is to put more energy into finding natural pesticides (such as garlic oil) which don't harm the environment, but keep insects from ruining the crops, and to make those natural pesticides available before banning chemical pesticides.


Why would farmers need weathervanes?

Farmers may use weathervanes to determine the direction of the wind, which can help with decisions related to planting, spraying pesticides, or managing livestock. Understanding wind patterns can also assist in predicting weather changes and protecting crops from potential damage.


How does biological control and genetic modification be used instead of pesticides and herbicides to control pests that destroy crops?

Biological control involves using natural enemies of pests, such as predators or pathogens, to keep pest populations in check. Genetic modification can be used to engineer crops that are resistant to pests, reducing the need for chemical control methods. These approaches can be more environmentally friendly and sustainable than using pesticides and herbicides.


Why do insects destroy crops in Kenya?

Insects can destroy crops in Kenya due to factors such as climate change, lack of natural predators, poor pest management practices, and vulnerability of crops to insect attacks. Additionally, some insects have developed resistance to certain pesticides, making it harder to control them effectively.
