Question

based on the information in the graph, which is most likely true about farming in 2005?
fewer crops were grown with herbicides
more crops needed to be sprayed with pesticides
fewer crops were eaten by pests
more crops needed to be sprayed with herbicides

Explanation:

Genetically - engineered crops like HT (herbicide - tolerant) and BT (bacillus thuringiensis) are designed to resist pests or tolerate herbicides. As the adoption of genetically - engineered crops increased by 2005, fewer crops needed to be sprayed with pesticides (due to BT traits) and potentially fewer crops needed to be sprayed with herbicides (due to HT traits). There is no indication from the graph about how many crops were eaten by pests or the overall number of crops needing herbicide spraying in an absolute sense.

Answer:

Fewer crops were grown with herbicides
