Quantification of the Impacts on US Agriculture of Biotechnology-Derived Crops Planted in 2006. Johnson, S., R., Strom, S., & Grillo, K. 2008.
abstract   bibtex   
[From Key Findings] This report updates the 2005 publication entitled “Biotechnology-Derived Crops Planted in 2005 - Impacts on US Agriculture” and confirms that the trends toward adoption, reduction in chemical active ingredients applied and economic benefits to farmers continued in 2006. Biotechnology-derived crops have, in fact, started their second decade of being planted in the US and have resulted in even greater impacts for US agriculture in 2006. The report that is the subject of this summary, evaluated in detail the reasons for the increases in plantings of biotechnology-derived crops in terms of incentives to farmers using essentially two criterions: economic benefits related to cultivation and improved yields; and reductions in active chemical ingredients applied to the acres in biotechnology-derived crops.
