in the U.S. are genetically modified. In fact‚ analysts estimate that 60% to 75% of processed food commonly found in supermarkets and restaurants are genetically engineered. Although genetic engineering technology in agriculture can help increase crops production‚ reduce environment pollution‚ increase the amount of nutrients in food‚ create pharmaceutical products‚ and slow down ripening process of plants‚ genetically modified food should be strictly controlled because it would create herbicide-resistant

Crop circles have been discussed for a long time. Whether they’re made by man or some sort of alien species is unknown and‚ in some ways‚ hard to prove. In this paper‚ I’m going to talk about two articles. One talks about aliens making crop circles. The other is an interview with a man who is a crop circle maker. I am unsure what I believe as far as crop circles go. I think there’s a possibility though‚ for sure‚ that there could be aliens out there. I’m just not sure that if they were to try to

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

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.

CASH CROPS OF PAKISTAN INTRODUCTION Rice is the most important cereal grown globally and the major staple food for about half of the world population‚ providing 23% of the worldwide calorie intake. Around 600 million tons of rice is produced globally each year. With in the next 20 years‚ this production needs to increase by 20 to 30% to satisfy the demand of an expanding population in Asia‚ Africa and Latin America. Hybrid rice is expected to play a major role in breaking the
