food is a good one because the modifications allow crops to become resistant to drought and infestations‚ increasing food supply. But the others think this is a dangerous proposition which an lead Antibiotic resistance‚ allergens and toxins to food and so on. Today we will discuss about both side of this topic. Crops can be increased more resistances such as Pest resistance‚ Herbicide tolerance‚ Disease resistance and so on. For example‚ crops be modified that can increase pests resistance that

Genetically Modified Crops Genetically modified food and agricultural biotechnology have generated a lot of interest and controversy in the United States worldwide. Some like the technology ’s benefits while others raise questions about environmental and food safety issues. Crop varieties developed by genetic engineering were first introduced for commercial production in 1996. Today‚ these crops are planted on more than 167 million acres worldwide. U.S. farmers are by far the largest producers

GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS Genetically modified crops is as known as (GM crops) is a crops that the DNA that been change by humans that using a techniques called “genetic engineering”. Genetically modified crops is the source of used in the research to produce more useful and better crops. Genetic engineering is a precise techniques which manipulate the plants in order to combine the genes from another organism to achieve the condition such as it last longer‚ disease resistance and it has diffrent

Improved nutrition The GM oilseed crops on the market today offer improved oil profiles for processing or healthier edible oils.[58] The GM crops in development offer a wider array of environmental and consumer benefits such as nutritional enhancement and drought and stress tolerance. GM plants are being developed by both private companies and public research institutions such as CIMMYT‚ the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre.[59] Other examples include a genetically modified cassava

RUBBER Area planted increased by 7.53% in 2010. From 128.34 thousand hectares in 2009‚ it expanded to 138 thousand hectares in 2010. The number of mature trees increased to 39.36 million trees from 37.21 million trees in 2009. While the dry spell led to lower production in 1H2010‚ high demand and prices induced more tappings in the 2H2010. Consequently‚ production increased by 1.09% from 390.96 thousand MT in 2009 to 395.24 thousand MT in 2010. Zamboanga Peninsula led in rubber production in 2010

------------------------------------------------- Genetically modified crops Genetically modified crops (GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineeringtechniques‚ to resist pests and agents causing harm to plants and to improve the growth of these plants to assist in farmers efficiency. Genetic engineering techniques are much more precise[1] than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create

farming or basic needs such as food‚ clothing etc. A large part of the income of farmers from the harvest was spent in paying off these debts. Not all farmers were eligible to receive finance from government agencies‚ and only those who were‚ received crop insurance policies. However‚ majority of BASIX’s clients remained ineligible to borrow and hence did not hold a policy. Not all clients who had policies received insurance claims in case of losses‚ and those who were entitled to receive any compensation

Genetically modified crops (GMCs‚ GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples include resistance to certain pests‚ diseases‚ or environmental conditions‚ or resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide)‚ or the production of a certain nutrient or pharmaceutical agent.

DESCRIBING GRAPHS AND CHARTS The function of a line graph is to describe a TREND pictorially. You therefore should try and describe the trend in it. If there are many lines in the graph(s)‚ then just generally describe the trend. If there is only one or two‚ then use more detail. So‚ describe the movement of the line(s) of the graph giving numerical detail at the important points of the line. To describe the movement‚ there is some language which will always be useful. Below is a list of language
