AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY: BENEFITS OF TRANSGENIC SOYBEANS. Gianessi, L., P. & Carpenter, J., E. 2000.
abstract   bibtex   
[From Introduction] Farmers are planting transgenic soybeans in the U.S. because of the weed control benefits that result from the use of an herbicide that damages conventional varieties. This herbicide, glyphosate (trade name “Roundup”) is a cost effective solution to many of the weed problems that U.S. soybean growers must overcome every year. The herbicide tolerant transgenic soybean is referred to as “Roundup Ready.” The purpose of this report is to describe and quantify the weed control benefits provided on soybean acreage planted with the transgenic varieties in 1998.
