SOY GMO AND NO GMO

タイトルまたは説明

Key Modifications:

• Herbicide Tolerance:
  • The most common modification in GM soy is to make it tolerant to herbicides, particularly glyphosate. This allows farmers to spray herbicides to control weeds without harming the soybean plants.
• Other Modifications:
  • Some GM soy varieties have been developed with altered oil profiles, aimed at improving the nutritional quality of soybean oil.

Characteristics of GMO Soy:

• Agronomic Benefits:
  • Herbicide-tolerant soy can simplify weed management for farmers, potentially reducing labor and costs.
  • It can also contribute to increased yields in some cases.
• Widespread Cultivation:
  • A significant majority of soy grown in countries like the United States, Brazil, and Argentina is genetically modified.
