Anonymous. Do GMO Crops Really Have Higher Yields? According to the biotech industry, genetically modified (GM) crops are a boon to humanity because they allow farmers to "generate higher crop yields with fewer inputs," as the trade group Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) puts it on its web page. Buoyed by such rhetoric, genetically modified seed giant Monsanto and its peers have managed to flood the corn, soybean, and cotton seed markets with two major traits: herbicide resistance and pesticide expression—giving plants the ability to, respectively, withstand regular lashings of particular herbicides and kill bugs with the toxic trait of Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt. Turns out, though, that both assertions in BIO's statement are highly questionable.
Washington State University researcher Charles Benbrook has demonstrated that the net effect of GMOs in the United States has been an increase in use of toxic chemical inputs. That may be true, but it's a long way from "generating higher crop yields with fewer inputs. " Seed contamination. Foreign seeds can be caught anywhere, including these harvested flax seeds Seed contamination is the mixing of seeds used for agriculture with other seeds which are not desirable or soil (which may carry seeds).
An example would be mixing corn seed with weed seed. These contaminant seeds can be either common weeds or other crop seeds. In genetic engineering, seed contamination may refer to unwanted genes found in a seed, or pieces of DNA from other genetically engineered seeds. Contamination in genetic engineering[edit] Contamination in this area is most likely caused by other genetically engineered seeds cross pollinating with unchanged seeds. Prevention[edit] Preventing seed contamination in agriculture is fairly difficult, almost impossible.
Machines, such as this tractor, help gather seeds. Preventing seed contamination in genetic engineering is simply a matter of separating "pure" seeds from contaminated ones.
