pesticides and genetic modification of crops

Pesticides refer to chemical substances used to control or eliminate pests, including insects, weeds, and diseases that can negatively affect crops. These substances are applied either directly to the crops or to the surrounding environment to protect the plants from damage and ensure optimal growth. On the other hand, genetic modification of crops involves altering the genetic material of plants through techniques such as transferring specific genes from one organism to another. This is done to enhance desired traits in crops, such as improved resistance to pests, diseases, or environmental conditions, thereby increasing crop yield and quality.
