Why U.S. farmers are adopting genetically modified crops (National Center for Food and Agricultural Policy).
| Carpenter J., Gianessi, L. (2000).
| The reasons U.S. growers are adopting genetically modified crops vary. The fact that new genetically modified varieties are capturing a large portion of the very competitive pesticide markets for major crops indicates that the new technology is delivering benefits to growers. Soybean growers have adopted Roundup Ready soybeans largely due to the simplicity and efficacy of weed control provided by the program. Bt corn varieties have provided insect control for a destructive insect pest that was mostly uncontrolled previously, which has resulted in increased yields. Cotton growers have been able to control insect pests with fewer insecticide treatments.
