Here are some differences that I could think in 5 minutes
the GM scenario would have a large number of crop varieties or even a large
number of crops with several genes in common. In conventional seed production
there is variety. Genes that dictate the use of one chemical (a chemical that
by the way is not friendly to certain organisms of the soil, and a chemical
that stays for very long in the soil clay structure and a chemical that is
difficult to analyze and detect). Conventional crops require different
practices (chemical or mechanical) to maintain a reduced pest and weed
populations.

By mechanical, you mean plowing? That is the worst thing one can do to
soil. Not only does it promote erosion, it destroys organic matter, and
disrupts all soil organisms.


mechanical weed control is sometimes even required in some crops!
not only kills weeds but it put soil where the roots need it!


Also, if you have real information on glyphosate being harmful to soil
organisms, please share it.

read the fine print in your Roundup container.


The use of that one chemical implies a series of cultural practices that
affect the soil fauna and flora. Multiple pesticides implies that at least
some area is not affected by unintended chemical effects.

While it guarantees that the other areas are affected by unintended effects.
