How can the use of biotechnology lead to an increase in soil conservation practices?

Biotechnology can produce crops that resist pests or tolerate herbicides, which may reduce the need for some pesticides and herbicides. Using fewer chemicals can help maintain soil quality, supporting soil conservation. Soil compaction does not prevent erosion, and simply requiring more farm management does not necessarily increase conservation practices, so “all of the above” is not correct.
