Wow so I actually did really good on this, combined with how I think I did on the MCQs I think I might’ve gotten a 5. Thanks Mr. Smedes for helping me study! I do have a question, for 1 j I used intercropping with push pull crops to contain the beetles in the experimental plot, would this also be a correct answer?

[@thecakemuffincrew9987]

Hi Mr. Smedes, for 1c, could you also have mentioned how since the GMOs were modified to be resilient against arid conditions, that they would lose a lot less yield than the unmodified plant?
