Insect resistance. This trait provides farmers with season-long protection against target pests, reduces the need for pesticide applications, and lowers input costs.Drought resistance. GM crops that express drought resistance can grow in much drier areas, conserving water and other environmental resources.Herbicide tolerance. Crops that can tolerate specific herbicides allow farmers to fight weeds by applying herbicides only when needed and enable them to use no-till production methods that preserve topsoil, prevent erosion, and reduce carbon emissions.Disease resistance. Through genetic modification, the Hawaiian papaya industry was able to recover from the devastating papaya ring spot virus that had crippled the industry.Increased/enhanced nutritional content. Currently in development are genetically modified soybeans with an enhanced oil profile, much like olive oil, made to be longer lasting and trans fat free.
