What are drought tolerant seeds?

Drought-tolerant seeds are specially bred or genetically modified seeds designed to thrive in conditions with limited water availability. These seeds exhibit traits such as deeper root systems, reduced water loss, and enhanced resilience to heat and drought stress. Commonly used in agriculture and landscaping, they help conserve water resources and maintain crop productivity in arid or drought-prone regions. Using drought-tolerant seeds can also contribute to sustainable farming practices and environmental conservation.
