Verdeca is a type of genetically modified soybean developed to be resistant to certain herbicides. This modification allows farmers to control weeds more effectively without harming the crop. The goal of creating Verdeca was to improve agricultural efficiency and yield. The development of Verdeca is part of a broader trend in biotechnology aimed at enhancing crop resilience and productivity. By using genetic engineering, scientists can introduce specific traits that help crops thrive in various environmental conditions, ultimately supporting food security and sustainable farming practices.
