Genetically modified (GM) alfalfa offers several advantages:
Increased Yield: GM alfalfa can provide higher yields compared to traditional varieties. Pest Resistance: Resistance to pests reduces the need for chemical pesticides, which can be harmful to the environment. Herbicide Tolerance: Herbicide-resistant alfalfa allows for easier weed management. Nutritional Enhancement: Biotechnology can improve the nutritional content of alfalfa, benefiting livestock that consume it.
