Through genetic engineering, a new crop species is developed by inserting the genes of any organism or plant into other plants.GM crops are those crops whose genes are transformed scientifically. This seed provides far more productivity than ordinaries will remove many problems in the agricultural sector and will improve the level of crop production.GM crops are anti-drought and anti-flood and are also resistant to pests. It is considered harmful for health, environment, and biodiversity.y seeds.
