Biotechnology Contributes to Significant Decrease in Plowing
Date: 8.6.2006
According to Monsanto, since the introduction of biotech crops in 1996, farmers have reduced - and, in some cases, completely stopped - plowing or tilling the soil to eliminate weeds and prepare fields for planting. The benefits of conservation tillage range from less erosion to improved wildlife habitat to a reduction in greenhouse gases and fuel use.
