Some varieties of soybeans have been genetically modified. They have been changed so that they do not die when a particular herbicide is sprayed on a field. How would this genetic modification improve the soybean crop? It would enable the crop plants to kill nearby weeds directly. It would protect the crop when farmers sprayed for harmful insects. It would allow farmers to eliminate weeds that compete with the crop. It would increase the fitness of the crop plants and improve their growth.
