An effort to substitute chemical treatments following exposure is the production of genetically engineered crops. Recombinant technology for the cleavage of genes by other species in rice or potato varieties is increasingly used. Pest-resistant plants and higher yields include the advantages of certain genetically engineered plants. Ecological campaigners, however, warn that new mutations can cause unexpected side effects with more severe environmental and economic implications in the long run than the problems that have solved them. The resistance gene may be passed to closely related weeds by genetically engineered plants bred to withstand herbicide applications, which then become "mega plants." Just as pests can develop pesticide resistance, they can also become immune to defense mechanisms that are developed into plants that are genetically engineered. The high cost of recombinant technology raises concerns about the viability of genetically engineered plants' continuous growth. (Zahry¸2019).
