ADOPTION OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CROPS IN THE U.S.
September 17, 2003 ERS - USDA http://www.ers.usda.gov/data/BiotechCrops/ U.S. farmers have adopted genetically engineered (GE) crops widely since their introduction in 1996, notwithstanding uncertainty about consumer acceptance and economic and environmental impacts. Soybeans and cotton genetically engineered with herbicide-tolerant traits have been the most widely and rapidly adopted GE crops in the U.S., followed by insect-resistant cotton and corn. This product summarizes the extent of adoption of herbicide-tolerant and insect-resistant crops since their introduction in 1996. Three tables devoted to corn, cotton, and soybeans cover the 2000-2003 period by State. To view entire report see: http://www.ers.usda.gov/data/BiotechCrops/ |
